I really would like some off the wall things. I have seen whiskey barrel sinks, water can for shower head, and a tub for a vent-a-hood. I'm covering the walls with old wood but would like a non-traditional design. Please help

I like your creativity! I recommend that you start at a re-sale and architectural salvage store and see what items inspire you. Wires cages can be used for lighting and old industrial carts are great for tables and/or storage. So I think you could do your case goods and accessories from these places, but I would suggest you purchase new upholstery or recover older pieces.

Some inspiration

Good catch Maureen!

Hey there! Love your question about rustic wooden interiors. I also love rustic scandinavian interior design. Bringing that cozy cabin feel indoors with wood is a fantastic idea. Here are some tips to get you started:

Rustic Wood Wonderland:

• Flooring: Set the foundation with reclaimed wood for a touch of history, or use warm tones like honey or chestnut. Distressed finishes add character.
• Walls: Wood paneling is a classic! Shiplap provides a clean look, while barnboard offers a more textured feel.
• Accents: Take the wood love to the ceiling with beams for a cabin vibe. Wooden shelves, mantels, or even a reclaimed wood accent wall add rustic charm.

Mix and Match for Warmth:

• Textures: Balance the wood with natural elements like stone fireplaces or exposed brick walls. Woven baskets, textured fabrics, and throw rugs create a layered, cozy feel.
• Colors: Keep things neutral with creams, beiges, and browns to let the wood be the star. Pops of color can come from throw pillows, artwork, or a rustic rug - think deep reds, earthy greens, or yellows.
• Lighting: Warm lighting is key! Wrought iron chandeliers, wall sconces, and lamps create an inviting ambiance.
