Can you give the source for the shiplap? - Or was it custom milled? »
Justine Hand Here are the specifics from Sheila Narusawa, the architect:
The wall paneling is 1x [actual 3/4" thick] shiplap pine [or poplar if it is to be painted]. The paint color is Benjamin Moore Linen White in a flat 'matte' finish.
jjones9425 The walls look like shiplap. My question is with regards to where you get that sort of treatment? Is it always something that is custom done, or can you buy it and apply it yourself? I want to use it in my basement that is being finished, but can't find much info on the application, although I seem to see it in photos everywhere i look. Any information on how the architect specified this type of treament would be appreciated. Thx.

Distressed sky blue on an antique sideboard adds the only strong hit of color in this serene, rustic space. The room is all lines and angles, and the sideboard dovetails perfectly. Upholstered armchairs provide a needed touch of softness.
6. Let the chips fall where they may, but only off one piece of furniture per room. Let one shabby piece have the spotlight and keep everything else crisp and tailored. This cabinet adds just the right dose of patina style.
7. Farmhouse cupboards. Primitive wooden cupboards and pie safes add a warm, handmade touch to any room in the house. Use one to store linens in the dining room, organize mail and clothes in the mudroom, or bring extra storage to your kitchen.
Simple in a cottage way. I like how the door continues the lines of the wood on the walls. Doesn't feel overly beachy. Good thing about this style is that nicks and dings just blend in... we may need that.
