Yadkin County Cultural Arts Center

I am SO excited about this project. It is obviously in Yadkin County, but this area is very special to me because my parents grew up here on farms. My Mother's parents owned a full working farm; from fields of tobacco, to big gardens and fruit trees and bushes, to chicken houses and smoke houses and milk and beef cows. I have so many fond memories of this county which has now turned into wine country making way for the new Arts Center which will host wine tastings, performances, art shows and an internet cafe.
Demolition and rebuilding is slated to begin this month. Yahoo!!!
Pictures to come....

More from Lake Chatuge....




The floor is face nailed with antique cut nails. There are many angles in the house lending way for interesting transitions in each room. Finishing with stain and tung oil next week. Four weeks of hard work in a beautiful home!

Renovation in Atlanta

Full Kitchen, living room, stairs and basement. Before and during photos.

Antique white oak beams and old growth white oak beams will be used for structure and decorative features as this 70's ranch is transformed. Reclaimed barn wood will cover the ceiling between the reclaimed oak beams to form a French Chateau interior. More reclaimed materials will surround the hood in the kitchen emphasizing the natural use of beams to frame the windows in both the kitchen and the living room.

The flooring will be a rustic white oak with a true old fashioned ebonized treatment.
More to come!
