The restored 110 year old hardwood maple floors span from wall to wall and maintain their original warmth and character.

So many materials and furniture items were handpicked, handmade, reclaimed, restored, or repurposed by local artisans to showcase the rich history of materials and talent that this area is know for. Some notable features include the old rustic hemlock barn beams salvaged from a local barn to the hefty solid white oak sliding barn doors and barn wood trim. Local metalworkers hand forged custom pieces like the ladders, bird cage lighting, and aluminum glass enclosures in the entry and loft. An eclectic array of lighting was picked for the project including some hand made fixtures by local artists and even a handful of antique factory warehouse industrial lighting fixtures that were repurposed in the living room along with some modern chandeliers and fixtures in the kitchen and dining room. The buildings old french style windows doors have been resurrected and repurposed as interior transom windows and even as wall and accent mirrors. Numerous other handcrafted furniture and fixtures have been made for the LoftTC including the dramatic walnut slab dining room table and bathroom vanity sourced from a local walnut tree that was downed in the Big Storm of Aug 2, 2015.
