Flooring is often the last thing a homeowner thinks when he or she is dreaming up a new custom built home. But the floor literally is the foundation for the interior space of a beautiful home, and it can actually be the starting point when conceiving the look and atmosphere of a fine interior.

Many designers and homeowners are looking to reclaimed wood as a way to create give character to a home or addition. Repurposed wood from, say, an old barn or factory is guaranteed to be hearty and obviously very durable. And the natural weathering the old boards have experienced gives the wood unique characteristics.

This is also about as environmentally sustainable as it gets.

One highly regarded dealer of reclaimed wood is LV Wood Floors in New York.

LV Wood Floors carries several lines of reclaimed and sustainably sourced wood flooring. Most comes from old wooden structures and fence posts in the U.S., but they also import some from Italy.
