Touch of Reclaimed Wood in a Modern Condo

How to add texture to a modern condo in Chicago's Gold Coast? Try wrapping the support posts with the back of reclaimed barn siding. As you can see in the pictures, the old wood offers an historic touch to the modern lights and darks in the space.

Reclaimed Wood vs Wall Paper

Two customers came in to RWC with a common vision: to use reclaimed wood as an alternative to wall paper on an end wall in their respective homes. The husband of one of these customers would be doing the carpentry and came along to pick out the wood. They found smaller pieces of red, gray, and brown reclaimed siding from 3 different barns, selecting unique pieces that would add character and depth to the room that wall paper couldn't replicate.  While the ladies were a bit hesitant at first because of the random pieces he selected, we think the carpenter put together a masterpiece. He nailed it!
