Fine Hardwoods Of The Toh 2020 Idea Houses

TOH Idea House: Farmhouse in Fairfield County

The centerpiece of the TOH Farmhouse in Fairfield County is this bold and beautiful, 22-by-44-foot great room. Designed with entertaining in mind, this modern yet surprisingly cozy space has plenty of farmhouse appeal thanks to hefty 10×12 collar ties overhead, boxed with the same live sawn white oak used on the floors.

Personal Space

Leading into the ground-floor master suite, a sophisticated sitting room features pocket doors for privacy; framed in bright white trim, the doors become a unique focal point in the room.

Light-filled lounge

Another sitting room—this one at the top of the stairs, with unfussy furnishings, a neutral palette, and white oak floors—creates a comfortable, casual hangout. Featured: 7” Live Sawn White Oak Flooring; Trim in Poplar

Space-saving hallway doors

White oak floors lead the way down the hall to the guest rooms and shared bath. Pocket doors save space, and baseboard moldings and door trim provide a polished look. Featured: 7” Live Sawn White Oak Flooring; BB3000 3-Panel Paint Grade Poplar Doors; Trim in Poplar

Mirrored mudroom doors

In the combination mudroom/laundry center, a coat closet features mirrored sliding doors perfect for checking your look before heading out. Want to see how these beautiful doors are made?

TOH Idea House: Cottage on the Cape

Where the TOH Farmhouse was, well, farmhouse-inspired, the TOH 2020 Cottage on the Cape featured coastal-chic interiors and a laid-back vibe. Here on the ground floor, black window frames and modern accents give the open living, dining, and kitchen areas a fresh, contemporary feel that’s softened by the gray walls, white trim details, and white oak floors. Featured: 4” Select Grade Flooring in White Oak

Transitioning floors

Entering the rental unit from the main house, the transition is marked by a shift from lighter, select-grade white oak floors to darker-stained character-grade flooring. Character grades typically provide a more natural and rustic look.

Clever storage space

Behind a paint-grade poplar door, stackable laundry units are cleverly tucked away in this space under the reading loft. Featured: Poplar BB2200 2-Panel Shaker Doors; 4” Select Grade Flooring in White Oak; Trim in Poplar

Contrasting doors and trim

In this multihued guest bedroom, paint-grade doors and casings are coated in a muted pastel blue for a colorful contrast with the ceiling and walls. Featured: Poplar BB2200 2-Panel Shaker Doors; 4” Select Grade Flooring in White Oak; Trim in Poplar

Making an entrance

At the mudroom/family entrance, bright white trim creates a frame for a two-panel shaker-style door, making it pop against the ocean-inspired blue-green walls. Featured: BB2200 Select Solid White Oak 2-Panel Shaker Doors; Trim in Poplar
