A long chalkboard and sliding barn door bring rustic charm to this dining area. The slate for the chalkboard originally comes from an elementary school and now lists the clients’ extensive ale collection. The door is made from reclaimed yew wood with no stain and a natural oil finish.

This fun double-sided desk needed comfortable chairs to bring texture and color to the space. Enter these two blue tufted armchairs.

To add storage without using standard built-in shelves or retail book cases, the designers of this home reclaimed solid fir posts from an old barn that had collapsed during a heavy snowfall. With a lot of sanding and teak oil the wood was beautifully transformed. The shelves are reclaimed oak and attached with angle iron.

A skinny door becomes the perfect console table for this space. Its unfinished quality makes a stylish, rustic contrast with the crisp white wainscoting and graphic orange curtains.
