The guest bedroom of this contemporary mountain retreat in Colorado features a wall of repurposed barn wood and an antique bed frame.  I love this cozy and rustic cottage aesthetic!

Reclaimed Kitchen Details

Contemporary style is all about infusing classic design with new details.  The placement of reclaimed wood in these kitchen designs is smart and chic.

Take a minute to sit and enjoy the view!  Wouldn’t you love to snuggle up with a cup of tea in this window seat?  Framing your window seat with reclaimed wood will completely transform your sitting area.
