Arts and Crafts Style Works Wonders With Wood

Hand-carved woodwork is the hallmark of the Arts and Crafts or Craftsman style of architecture and home design. This movement began in the late nineteenth century and focused on simple but elegant woodwork that highlighted the natural colour, grain and texture of the wood.  The emphasis has always been on the finished work of the artisan woodcarver who created the pieces. The wood was varnished or stained but never painted. If you are restoring or working on a remodel of a Craftsman home, you may need to replace mouldings, mantels, stairway posts, window frames, cabinets and paneling. These replacements must be in solid, natural wood to maintain the integrity of the Arts and Crafts style. Architectural woodcarvings work in kitchens and bathrooms as well as living, dining and sleeping areas. Original Arts and Crafts homes did not have access to synthetic materials such as laminates and plastics. The cabinetry was carved from natural wood and often built in to the kitchen, bathroom or other rooms. Art for Everyday can create and duplicate traditional woodwork from old Craftsman style homes for restorations, remodels or new homes in that traditional design style.
