Design Notes
Including nature’s elements in the home design remains a popular choice. Placing extra windows into the room to allow more light in or choosing eco-friendly options, such as granite countertops, are favored ways to accomplish this. Wood, however, remains the number one choice with most clients as it adds warmth and texture to the room. It also blends with multiple styles, including modern industrial and farmhouse. Even though there are numerous design benefits to incorporating wood into the design, not everyone has access to reclaimed wood or can afford to install it. Stikwood is the perfect solution. Let’s explore this amazing product more and why we chose to become an authorized dealer.

Common Questions About Stikwood.
Have a few questions? That’s okay. Here are a few answers to some of the more common questions.
- Does it need to be acclimated? Yes, just like wood flooring, but due to its small size, it does not take long. Usually, 48 to 72 hours is sufficient.
- How long will it stick? Until you get tired of it. The adhesive is rated for 10 years and will not go anywhere anytime soon.
- How thick is it? Reclaimed wood measures 3/16” thick, while the sustainable hardwood planks are ⅛” thick.
- What’s the width? Almost everything is 5″ wide except for their reclaimed barrel oak and reclaimed sports floor, which are 2″ wide.
- How do you clean it? Maintenance is as simple as turning on the vacuum cleaner and running it over with an attachment.

Walker WoodworkingOne of the main questions asked during the design meeting is what color the owners want for their kitchen cabinets. Were they looking to do a natural wood or a color instead? While many will opt to do the wood, many enjoy adding a splash of color to their kitchen or mixing and matching. It is a great way to break up the area and create a focal point, but with so many options available, how do you know which one is right for you? While it is up to you in the end, there are three colors that have stood out for some time and will most likely continue to do so. White, gray, and blue remain high on the selection chart, so let’s talk about these popular colors and why they may be the right fit for you.
Walker WoodworkingWhile the kitchen was often viewed as the place where food was merely prepped and served, it has transitioned into a command center as people gather to talk or enjoy a snack while getting some work done. Layouts have slowly shifted to accommodate this change, which has produced the open concept. This floor plan allows families to stay connected even when they are doing things in different areas of the home. While not as popular as it was in the 1990s and early 2000s, many families still choose this floor plan because of their desire to stay close to their family and guests. Today, we want to discuss the open floor concept, the elements that make it up, and if it is the right fit for your family.

In the second of our three-part series on selection tips, we want to focus on tile. Backsplash, shower walls, and flooring are just a few of the many uses for tile since it is beautiful, durable, and timeless.

While cabinets tend to be the focal point of the main spaces, such as kitchens and bathrooms, it is the details that add the final touch to the design.
