It is exciting that we were able to take 3 1/4″ x 3/4″ Somerset Color Collection planks in white oak  that were from another client’s home and utilize them for the installation, sand and refinish project that we are doing here. 

We are proud to be a part of maintaining St. Louis’s hold on theatre.  More information to come about the Open House on August 8!  (Pictures to come, as well.) 

THEATRE LOVERS:  If you would like to donate gift cards to Target, Lowe’s or Home Depot, please contact Marcia Moore at marcia@marciamooredesign.com.  This project is a complete remodel and all products and services have been donated.  A tax letter will be provided to all donors.

Medallion with double maple border from entry door

This is a medallion that we installed in our client’s entry way.  It’s an oval compass 24″x42″ from a local St. Louis artisan.  It is inset into a herringbone pattern of 3 1/4″  Brazilian Walnut with a double 1 1/2″ maple border around the perimeter.  It was challenging.  We started Friday 6/26 and finished today, Tuesday 7/1.  This is a site finished job and has a natural finish of Bona Mega, which is extremely durable and low VOC (less than 150 g/l).  We !!LOVE!! projects like this.

The second photo really shows the true character coloration of the Brazilian Walnut.  It has lot of green in it.  The first has a red hue due to lighting (we’re better floor layers than photographers!)

Sand and refinish, oak floor in Tower Grove Park home. St. Louis, MO

This is a photo of a recently refinished floor in the Tower Grove area.

This week we worked on removing 3/4″ red oak hardwood in a kitchen in Creve Coeur. The owner knew that previously water had been leaking.  Some minor gaps and discoloration of the hardwood boards was apparent from the top.   After removing the flooring, we found that more than 150 square feet of the subfloor and sleepers were completely black and disintegrated. No one expected that!
