On the Road: DC Open House
I have just returned from our Georgetown design center and firstly, what a beautiful space—secondly our open house event was a great success!
We had a wonderful group of people stop in for the evening. I was able to speak with quite a few clients that our sales group is working with and help them locate some new samples, talk about the wood species they are interested and overall talk about their projects.
Jane stopped in, she is one of Lynne Rafuse’s clients and she lives in Georgetown—a short jaunt from our center. I enjoyed my chat with her about Heart Pine and how she’s really looking forward to it in the complete renovation project of her home. I also had the pleasure to speak with Sue and Jay of Maryland. They bought our Eastern White Pine from Gary Ryer a few years ago and installed the floor themselves. In their upcoming project, they want to use the Eastern White Pine again, but they want wider boards, up to 15” this time!
Throughout the night, it got the chance to meet many other Carlisle friends. The girls from Washington SPACES stopped over too! We’ve chosen to advertise in SPACES, it’s such an awesome publication—check it out.
Clare, Hannah, Janel and I had so much fun visiting with all of our guests! We thank those of you that were able to make it!
Join us for Green Drinks DC—June 10th from 6:30-9:30.

DC welcomes Carlisle with Open Arms!
Wow, what a great welcome we are getting from the area! We have been very busy getting the word out that Carlisle just opened a design center in Georgetown, DC! We hosted an Open House to help celebrate and invited people in to talk "wood"! We greeted homeowners, installers, architects, designers, builders, magazine/media teams, local Georgetown shop owners and even a couple of dogs! It was a lot of fun and a great way to show off our gorgeous handcrafted floors and build some relationships!
Everyone was so impressed and loved the design center and we sent people away with smiles and samples of our wood that we are so proud of! We hope to earn some business from the successful Open House and make the rest of our Carlisle family proud of us!! GO DC!!
