More of us are cutting down on extravagance, even cutting back on summer vacations, and turning our time and treasure to what matters most. Home. We decorate for a sense of ease, comfort and solace. For connection to family. There is no doubt that hardwood flooring is just what any home needs to put the finishing touches on the summer renovations. If you are seeking décor with depth, elegance and a sense of permanence and continuity, consider authentic hardwood. Wood’s rich patinas, subtle textures and distinctive grains, flares and flecks offer unparalleled and genuine beauty. Even the sound underfoot seems solid, rich and comforting. Wood imparts grace and value to an entry, hallway, kitchen, bedroom, stairway or living area, whether formal or informal. >> Left: Pebble Hill Hickory available from CarpetsPlus Color Tile.
