Crazy for Reclaimed Wood!

There's a love affair going on.  I'm sure you're aware.  

There's not a barn, a factory or an old warehouse that isn't being eyed, even lusted after

for it's beautiful, worn wood walls, ceilings and floors!

We can't wait to get our DIY and designer hands on this reclaimed wood these days.

The older and more beat up, the better.  We'll pay a handsome price for it, too.

And look what all we can do with it...

This wall is from a project of mine.  The homeowners and I picked out the pieces 

together and I laid them all out on their driveway in the freezing cold.  

I think it actually started to sleet before I was finished with my layout!  

The installation turned out great, and they loved it.  

It added such warmth to the room and was the perfect backdrop for the 

commissioned art piece by Candice Sone.

I love the simplicity of these wood treatments.  Nothing fussy.  Warm but modern.

Nice, thoughtful uses of a beautiful, reclaimed product.

We're getting a little more daring here with rough hewn planks of different tones

and planks that are painted, layered, and scraped.  Lots of personality here.

I love that they carried the wall treatment right onto the shower door 

in the photo on the left.  You just want to run your hands

along the walls in these rooms, don't you?

 No doubt, these installations are a feast for the eyes.

A little rustic, a little modern, and a lot architectural.

They create artistic, organic focal points with rich texture and pattern.

I love the thought put into the design in these two rooms.  

The top photo boasts a wood treatment that is as much art installation

as it is dramatic furniture piece.  And the bottom photo...genius.

Now this is beautiful, too.  I love all the woods of different hues, and on

so many of the surfaces, too.  I think the bleached out custom

bath furniture is warm and wonderful.  

Who wouldn't want to brush their teeth and wash their face 

in this lovely bathroom?

And I would be straight up lying if I didn't say this was my favorite

kitchen...ever.  Just ever.

This is another image from my own portfolio.  I must say, I didn't get to design

or lay out this wonderful treatment.  Its installation preceded my work

on the project, but what a nice feature wall to design and decorate around.

Gorgeous!

You are right on trend if you're loving these reclaimed wood treatments 

as much as I do.  It's nice when trending is also reclaiming, recycling

and repurposing, isn't it?

Go green!
