StoryBook Floors is the story of an American tradition passed down through generations of craftsmen. John Homer, founder of both Homerwood Corporation and StoryBook Floors, is one of these craftsmen. John was taught the art and discipline of woodworking by his father, and that legacy lives on today as John continues to train others in the trade.
Along with a dedicated crew of artisans, John continues a lifelong career of developing new and innovative ways to fashion wood into custom-designed elegance. When you have a StoryBook Floors product, you have more than a new floor or accent piece for your home - you have a piece of our hearts, a gift of our hands, and the story of generations gone by who shaped the way for generations to come.
In an age of quickly changing and advancing technology and industry, why choose hardwood floors for your home? For someone who has an eye for style, a passion for purpose, and an investment in the future, it doesn't get better than a custom-designed hardwood floor.

Each of our floors is tailored to fit the unique vision of each individual customer and is brought to life with the best materials available by the hands of generational craftsmen and Amish artisans. In a fast-paced world where materials are produced in mass and without the personal touch, we look to bring back an age where hand-done work is a priceless treasure.
The contour sanded distress is perhaps our most subtle and elegant flooring. It has gentle ripples, imitating the tranquility of a lake's lightly rolling surface, but unless you are touching the floor or closely inspecting each board, it looks as smooth as glass from a distance. Due to its subtleness, it is difficult to photograph, but the elegance it brings to a home is undeniable.
Exposing floorboards to a controlled flame burns the softer grains first, enhancing the character of the wood and the natural pattern of the wood grain so it is more visible. The floor can then be stained or finished with a clear coat to make a very striking appearance in a room. This contrast picture to the right shows the difference between a non-charred board (left) and a lightly toasted board (right).
Fumed oak, sometimes known as smoked oak, is a distress made to mimic the beauty of nature and time working their magic to enhance the appearance of wood. When wood is exposed to ammonia, the ammonia reacts with the wood's tannins (compounds also found in coffee, tea, and wine), causing the wood to develop a soft, toasted coloring that is unique to this chemical reaction.
The oldest pattern of parquet - wooden blocks arranged in geometric patterns - was developed to mimic brickwork, which was common on church floors in 16th century France. The oldest known herringbone floor is from 1539. Like all parquetry, chevron and herringbone require precision in mill and miter work.
