Beautiful Barnboard - where have you used it?

There are so many ways to use this naturally beautiful weathered wood.  Not only does it add a rustic element into a country look, it also works well in many other decorating styles.  Using barnboard is also a great way to reuse and recycle.  

Its greyish, textured finish compliments a shabby chic look as well as being a nice contrast in a modern setting.  I have seen this worn wood being used in headboards, bed frames, shelving, tables, accent walls and frames.  

I have gathered a collection of some of my favourite looks, which one is yours?



I love the look of this bed!  It gives a more refined expression of the weathered wood. 


Here is another way to use barnboard in an unexpected way.  This clean light look is broken up nicely by the addition of a chunky aged wood staircase.

Talk about adding lots of differing textures!  Compare the sleek appliances, the shiny backsplash, filmy drapes and the timeworn island.  Lots of things to keep the eye moving around the room.

Can't you just picture these reclaimed wood cabinets in the bathroom of an old farmhouse?  It would be a fabulous way to add character and continue the look of the time period in which the house was built.

Of course, frames are always a nice way to add barnboard into a room without having it "take over."  Have a look at these examples:
