Reclaimed Wood Floors by Corvelyn (be)

Century-old floorboards used in the restoration of a farmhouse by architect Xavier Donck.

18 cm wide planks are kiln-dried and need no additional protection.

The wood of the coffee table is also by Corvelyn, the planks are around 600 years old and come from ships that capsized in the Bering Sea.

Bernard De Clerck ~ Architect (be)

The inspiring restoration work of architect Bernard De Clerck with reclaimed wood floorboards supplier, Corvelyn.

The old planks in this kitchen are from a warehouse in France and have a width of up to 50 cm (over 19 1/2 inches.)-Corvelyn (new & reclaimed wood floors)

The wide planks have the unusual characteristic of being tapered; the original craftsman wanted to keep the planks as wide as possible, so followed the natural tapering of the trunk when he cut the wood.  -Corvelyn (new & reclaimed wood floors)

The convector gratings are by Corvelyn, made to measure with the same wood as the plank floor.

So much to admire.  I'll be sharing more from both Bernard De Clerck and Corvelyn in the weeks to come.

200 year-old pine barnwood from old Swiss sheds with plank widths of 40 cm and wider.

The planks are placed irregularly with their heads in one line as they are tapered (the shape of the tree.)

Of chalets and snowy mountain villages and such...

I was flipping through the pages of Côte Est Magazine last night and dreaming I was on a ski trip holiday ensconced somewhere in a cozy chalet (dressed like Carrie Bradshaw with the Russian, no less) lounging near a crackling fire after a full day on the slopes.  

Though a snowy mountain escape is a far cry from where we will be celebrating in sunny So Cal this Christmas, I did find this simple recipe I plan to make, a reminder of many ski trips and holidays past…  

...smoked salmon with cream cheese and chives on a rustic baguette.  

Isn’t it interesting the memory associations we have?  For me, an image of smoked salmon (smoked salmon) sent me traveling to times and places and people I haven’t visited in ages…sleigh riding in the snow-covered mountains of my childhood and big groups of us piling into our vehicles to go to the local lifts...some idyllic romantic escapes surfaced too, nights in a hot tub with views of the stars in the crisp night sky and the twinkling lights of the village below us…good times.

Not in the cards for me this year though — smoked salmon and a trip down memory lane will have to do.
