Cedar Creek Lake Retreat - Carlisle Wide Plank Floors

Lakeside Modernism Softened By Natural Elements And Light Oak

Project Overview

Set against the calm waters of Cedar Creek Lake, the Whaley family’s weekend home was designed as a modern sanctuary—clean, serene, and quietly luxurious. With architecture by Mabry Custom Homes and interiors by Nicole George of Cantoni, the goal was to create an elegant lakeside refuge that married classic warmth with a contemporary edge. Expansive glass walls, open volumes, and tailored finishes define the home, where every element was chosen to complement the view and promote effortless indoor-outdoor living.

To anchor the interiors, Carlisle’s wide plank Rift & Quartersawn White Oak flooring was used throughout the home in a natural, lightly toned finish. The oak’s subtle variation and grain added necessary texture to an otherwise minimalist palette of white, black, and brushed metal. In the living spaces, the long, elegant boards run uninterrupted beneath sculptural lighting and plush modern seating, enhancing the home’s visual rhythm and drawing the eye toward the lake beyond.

The flooring’s craftsmanship played a critical role in softening the home’s sleek lines and hard surfaces. Installed with precision, each Carlisle plank brings stability and natural warmth to a space defined by symmetry, restraint, and light. From the crisp kitchen to the tranquil bedrooms, the floors deliver understated sophistication—quietly elevating this lakefront escape into a timeless modern haven.
