We are going to fake the old barn wood look. I worked as a cleaning lady while in college and learned that dusting rough wood is a pain! To save money we will be making our countertops with standard lumber-my job will be to make it look like reclaimed wood.
I am blessed to have a husband with his skills:). Our budget is incredibly small, but with him building the cabinets and doing all the work it’s possible. If you saw our house in its current state you’d understand my excitement about it all!
I saw this young company featured on *BarnwoodBuilders* with Mark Bowe:
Rustic Nail & Co., Bowling Green, KY; He [Kyle Cochran] creates gorgeous one-of-a-kind pieces for commercial, residential clients.
I see his website does not exist any longer ;(; but this is a link [of an interview] which gives you an idea of what he does.
