THE SECRET INGREDIENT(S)
Construction Resources experts reveal their favorite products used on a recent project.
THE PROJECT
As a fourth-generation Atlantan, homeowner Lisa Levison knew exactly what she wanted: a customized home near her son and parents that would become her sanctuary. She was already one step closer to accomplishing her dream, having purchased a piece of property in Brookhaven years prior just around the corner from her loved ones. The problem? The house currently on the property was quite the opposite of what she had been envisioning—it was closed off, outdated and not functional for the ebb and flow of everyday life. So, Levison enlisted contractor, designer and construction consultant Allison Bible of AB Works alongside builder Oak Southern Homes. With the team she had assembled, she was ready to turn her home into a culinary, entertaining epicenter for her and her family—and the first place to start was in the kitchen. Working with her team and Construction Resources (constructionresourcesusa.com), Levison was able to source everything necessary to make her dream a reality. “It started with the geometric backsplash tile. Once I saw that, I was obsessed and so inspired,” says Levison. “It was so crucial and I am so thankful that I was able to go into the CR showrooms and see, touch, feel products and take home samples.” The end result was an open, inspired kitchen at the heart of the home, close to friends, relatives and loved ones.

Shaw Floors Natural Timber Bandsaw in Willow Barnwood Finish
“This wood was selected due to color and texture. Selecting a wood was quite the process with multiple showroom trips to find the perfect fit. This material is UV aluminum oxide and cleanable with Bona hardwood cleaner, so it is very user-friendly. The homeowner selected based off of color and unique ‘bandsaw’ markings, giving it a very high-end custom look. She wanted a natural-looking floor with white undertones. The stairs were finished on-site and coordinate beautifully.” –Lorie Dione
