For the Love of Boards

Another day, I saw an episode of Renovation Realities or $10 Grand in Your Hand or Sweat Equity (or among the DIY shows) when the joyful renovating few blew their budget on restored random-width wood floors.

Usually, when folks on these displays make an outrageously high-priced design choice, I wince and consider how much they are destroying their re sale value. In this instance, however, all I could do was look on with envy.

The flooring proved to be a rich reddish brown, filled with observable knots and clear history. I adored it. It made me feel about how much I actually adore the design of an observable board of wood. Flooring could be superior, but a narrative is told by a little rough lump.

With that present at heart, I began browsing the pictures at Houzz – and I discovered some genuine gems:

I am mainly attracted to the partitions, although this bedroom at Seaside Bungalow 8 is excellent in lots of manners. I really like the design of whitewashed boards – it shouts “bungalow by the ocean.”

Butcher blocks are astonishingly affordable and that I really like how that they look in nearly every kitchen – from state to contemporary.

How amazing is this mattress? The wood it self actually makes the appearance, with it is vibrant colour plus it is gravity.

I really like the way this wood flooring, with the observable boards of it’s and the sleek marble island, contrast.

This path gets the vibe of a pier, which makes it perfect for a backyard setting.

Vintage Building Supplies, Inc.

Built in desks and bars are an excellent solution to make use of a wonderful piece of aged wood – like this one.

I I can not picture this chamber with something but a vaulted wood ceiling like this one.

Again – a ceiling that is fantastic. These beams that are open are a Mazing. The blonde colour actually works despite the fact that I gravitate towards wood, in this area.

Old barndoors are not credible in spaces that are modern – they are as significant to your space as any piece of vintage furniture.

Yes, paneling has a retro vibe, but this includes a far cooler feel in relation to the cellar of my parents’ home, circa 1980.

Becky’s family’s Cape Cod cottage is an excellent example the way to to existing wood components (here, the flooring) include background and character to a house.

I really like this dining table (also in Becky’s bungalow). Old drop leaf tables regularly have a kind of patina of use and age that is ideal to get a casual, cozy space.
