Southend Reclaimed – Hand Distressed White Oak

Cabin fever got ya wanting to go see open houses, especially really cool idea houses?  Well, here’s a solution…

The Charlotte chapter of the Interior Design Society (IDS Charlotte) recently completed their first designer show homes.  This is trio of  custom homes located in The Preserve at Narrow Passage in Davidson, just north of Charlotte, NC.  Charities were at the top of the priority list when designing, building and showing off these unique homes.   All proceeds from tours and other special events benefiting Motor Racing Outreach, The Hendrick Family Foundation, The Dale Jr. Foundation and Operation Finally Home.

Here’s a sneak peak:

These are not your run of the mill, wanna-be idea homes.  The top names in Charlotte design came together to create one-of-a-kind living spaces.  Our friends at Southend Reclaimed were honored with the opportunity to provide flooring for one of the homes.  They provided a one-of-a-kind, custom European White Oak for this project.  This flooring is truly exquisite.  After all, “average” flooring simply wouldn’t do in a space like this!  The beautiful pre-finished coloring, hand distressed wire brushing and light saw marks make this flooring as unique as it is awe-inspiring.

Well… we all had grand plans before the global pandemic swung into full force huh?  These IDS show homes are in it with the rest of us.  Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the houses were planned to be open to visitors for three weeks, and special ticketed events including chef demonstrations, floral entertaining, outdoor living and kitchen trend talks, a vendor day and celebrity book signings were also planned to raise money for the charities.  Tell us that would not have been a really fantastic  and fun event!  Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the homes were only open to the public for two days after over two years of planning.

Thankfully, the awesome people at IDS Charlotte were able to put together a video tour showcasing all three of the homes and made it available on Pay-Per-View!  So even though the original plans for showing off the homes weren’t able to happen, money has still been raised for four wonderful charities.  To see the beautiful homes and support the mission of IDS Charlotte, check out the virtual tour in the link below.
