HAWAII RENOVATION 15
an especially cocooning home environment,” says Linda Jovanovich of the American Hardwood In- formation Center. “Wood is an inherently warm and characterful material that engenders feelings of reli- ability and familiarity in us. But along with that tried- and-true aspect, hardwood also offers a wide range of different looks and design possibilities, so there’s al- ways an element of unique-
ness and personalization whenever it’s used.”
The kitchen is often called “the heart of the home” — a gathering place that pro- vides sustenance through food and the companion- ship of friends and family — making it an ideal space in which to put wood’s authentic natural powers to work. Replacing tired old cabinets with stylish hardwood ones is a good starting point, as shown in
the makeover of a 1920s Bungalow house kitchen where a classic American hardwood — quarter-sawn white oak — is used for all the new millwork and flooring. The floorboards are lightly white-washed to create the look of bare wood; the base cabinets, supplied by Plain & Fancy Custom Cabinetry, get a slightly darker cerused finish to distinguish them from the rest of the wood- work. The wall cabinets are painted white to match the kitchen’s shiplap ceiling.
“It’s peaceful rather than exciting,” notes the home- owner. “And that’s exactly what we wanted.”
Without doubt, a good part of wood’s appeal is due to the fact that, like us, each piece of timber is unique — its color, texture and grain are as individual as a human personality, so we keep dis- covering new aspects of its
beauty and versatility to de- light in.
“But there are other good reasons why being surround- ed with hardwood makes us feel good,” Jovanovich points out. “It is exactly the kind of material that today’s environmentally conscious consumer demands: One that’s renewable, sustain- able, plentiful, durable and easy to work with all of which makes it an excellent return on investment, too.”
And that feeling of well- being is not just in our minds or pocketbooks: Wood is healthy, it doesn’t harbor dust and other allergens, and it gives off almost no VOCs in its natural state. And what could be more reassuring than that?
