FINISHES

• • • All of the finishes in the house were chosen because they were green products, eco-friendly, low or no VOC to accommodate the owner’s strong chemical sensitivity and fulfill the desire to build a Healthy Home, following the principles laid out by Paula Laporte in her book.
    • Quartz and wood countertops in kitchen
    • The CVG Fir trim in the house was milled from reclaimed lumber from Jack Daniels distillery buildings that were being dismantled. They were originally built from Oregon old-growth timber. A local Oregon acquaintance learned about the demolition and brought it back to Oregon to mill into new products
    • The white oak trim in the TV room was reclaimed from old pickle barrels.
    • The large rough-sawn Doug fir timbers used for structural members in the new section of the house came from an old barn deconstructed outside of Tacoma in 2003.
    • The large rough-sawn timbers used to frame the outdoor entry with true mortise and tenon timber framing methods (no metal, just oak dowels!) came from a field in Banks, probably an old barn that had fallen over.
    • The bar countertop was milled from Oregon Claro Walnut.
    • The rest of the butcher block counters in the kitchen are maple block with a walnut stain and an eco-friendly Duraseal finish.
