For centuries, the American chestnut was prized for its strong, straight-grained wood that was easy to saw and split. Highly resistant to decay, chestnuts were used in a variety of applications, from furniture and split-rail fences to chestnut hardwood flooring and telephone poles. Sadly, during the early to mid-1900s, this once vital hardwood timber tree was virtually destroyed in the eastern United States by an Asian bark fungus. One of the rarest of the reclaimed hardwoods, our wormy chestnut hardwood flooring – prominently marked with insect-bored wormholes – derives from roof rafters, floor joists and granary boards in old barns, houses and factories. Choosing this commercially extinct chestnut wide plank flooring for your home will add a touch of elegance and a priceless piece of the American past. Distinctives of Reclaimed American Wormy Chestnut Along with the distinguishing wormholes in this commercially extinct wood, American wormy chestnut features some original saw marks, nail holes, sound cracks and checking. These delicately dappled planks range in color from lustrous tan to dark chocolate with an open, tight grain texture.

Flare out a staircase at the bottom can give added appeal and make a staircase look bigger than it is.

When you live in a small house, a trick to making it feel bigger is to bring attention to the transitional areas such as this stair case. Simply dressing it up with a runner, wainscoting, artwork and colorful walls makes you experience the space as part of the square footage of your house every time you use it. The tromp l'oiel mural at the top of the stairs, painted by Wendy Chapin of Silver Spring, MD, suggests even more space. She created a "window" for me that leads the eye to a vast valley beyond. The cutout figure she copied from a Vermeer painting invites the viewer to come upstairs. What fun!

A semi-cantilevered, side fixed, side lit, bespoke Oak “Zig Zag” design staircase. The treads and risers are the same height and depth giving the staircase perfect symmetry. The staircase is supported away from the wall allowing light to shine up from one side, giving the illusion of a wider stair. The project was finished with a glass balustrade gallery held in place with stainless steel fixings into the matching Oak apron board. Photo Credit: Kevala Stairs

The new wooden floor created a unity between the hallway area and lounge bringing the effect of a bigger space and making any visitor feeling welcomed. This was mainly achieved with the two steps seamlessly cladded and by precisely aligning the boards on both surfaces to have a continuity for each row. More details here -> http://goo.gl/FhjFZo
