Sometimes a home — like a well-loved piece of furniture — whispers its own story. And when that home is lovingly restored with vision, authenticity and attention to material integrity, its story becomes something you can feel beneath your feet.
Recently, we had the privilege of seeing our Heritage Oak flooring play a defining role in the renovation of the Cottage of Brunswick — a project brought to life by Felicia and George for Felicia’s vintage business, House of Brunswick.
This wasn’t just a renovation; it was a careful restoration of heritage, character and soul.
Choosing Heritage Oak for House of Brunswick
The vision for The Cottage of Brunswick was clear: a character-rich environment that felt as lived-in and authentic as the vintage pieces Felicia curates. Heritage Oak — with its deeply expressive grain, knots, tonal variation and natural charm — became the perfect foundation for their creative vision.
Instead of choosing a perfectly uniform floor, Felicia and George opted for something with story baked in — timber that felt forged by time, just like the antiques and vintage furniture that House of Brunswick celebrates.
A Canvas for Curated Style
Felicia’s vintage business thrives on texture, patina and the unexpected beauty of things that have lived other lives. Heritage Oak’s expressive grain and natural variation create a backdrop that complements — rather than competes with — the furnishings, objects and design layers found throughout the cottage of Brunswick.
More Than Flooring — A Feeling Underfoot
Walking through the Cottage of Brunswick now, what immediately stands out is how grounded the space feels. The oak invites movement — slow, intentional footsteps, warm conversations, afternoons spent sipping tea — all against a backdrop that feels authentic.
Felicia says it best: the space feels like it’s been lived in for years, even though it’s just been restored. That’s the magic of solid timber — and of choosing a floor that speaks to the soul of a space.
A Perfect Pairing
The collaboration between Felicia and George’s vision and the organic authenticity of Heritage Oak has created something gently timeless — a space where House of Brunswick’s vintage narrative can truly unfold.
This cottage is not just renovated — it’s been re-grounded in character. And every step across that flooring tells a part of its story.
