Our refurbished barn wood series continues with these gorgeous shiplap accent walls. These walls were made of wood taken from our client’s old family barn. To maintain the weathered and warn look of old barn wood we sanded minimally to keep as much of the original paint on as possible. The bedroom accent wall and window are framed beautifully with unpainted wood and the office is adorned with barn beam shelves. The accent walls were sealed with water based polyurethane. Somehow the enmeshment of rustic barn wood and new sleek lines throughout this house is unexpectedly appealing. It really makes the new feel homey and cozy. What a fun project this has been.  

We continue our series of refurbished barn wood projects in the basement of our client’s new home with these counter tops. Both the island countertop and the bar top were made from barn wood restored from the client’s old family barn. The wood was only lightly sanded and finished with satin polyurethane to maintain the rustic allure of old barn wood. Not only are these countertops functional, they tie the aesthetic qualities of the room together, giving the entire basement a sense of continuity, not to mention their beauty. This is only about the halfway mark in this series of refurbished barn wood projects for our client’s new home. Follow us for updates in this series of new, interesting, and stylish uses for old barn wood.

The series of refurbished barn wood projects in our client’s new house continues. This week we’ll feature the basement, starting with these support post wraps. Each post was wrapped and trimmed with barn wood from the client’s old family barn they had torn down. The wood was sanded lightly to eliminate splintering, finished with satin polyurethane, and joined around each support post. These posts really tie the room together and add a sense of rustic elegance to the layout.
