paradistoou I am not an architect. simply a homeowner who my husband and i love projects and are about to redo the interior of this home we have . We have just finished a 1,200 sq.ft weekend country home as well. I have just gotten reclaimed Walnut.. 6,000 board feet from woodplanet.com... create sign-in.. look to left column... Look for 'Open OTS = open offers to sell'... scroll down to reclaimed lumber , I also looked in hardwood as well... I live in Arkansas and looked for individuals in states closest to me.( for shipping price purposes).as mileage is key unless you have no limits to how much you want to spend. I dealt with 2 individualds.. Chris Cook from Kentucky... KY.. abbreviations for state will be opposite each OTs listing shown.. His company was "Woodland Vintage Lumber" this will show as well beside the listing as of what company is offering the product for sale.... he will try to get you whatever you want. Also, Chris Vannoy..KY.. Grace mountain something?.. inbox me an email and I can not only send you his information but also some photos he , Mr. chris Vannoy , sent of his AMAZING selection.. at 1.25 a board foot. and that is a STEAL for denailed and end trimmed reclaimed wood... his selection is amazing and I had already purchased my 3,200 board feet of mixed brownboard from a barn loft from woodland Vintage and the 6,000 boardfeet of walnut from Old St. Louis Vintage Lumber. However... Mr. Chris Vannoy has one of the most "gorgeous" and "ample" selections of reclaimed brown , grey and barnwood I had seen and believe me, I checked, double checked and looked at ALL of them., as well as Mr Chris Vannoy specializing in Walnut.. Also, Old St. Louis Vintage Woods in Missouri..( Mo.) --Scott had just gotten some cherry when he shipped my Walnut. my email is paradistoou@yahoo.com and i can send you the contact information for all these individuals.Now we have the process of skip planing and installing but I am in awe of the Walnut..It is simply Gorgeous beyond belief and i also purchased 2 24 foot 15x15 hand hewn walnut beams that are simply Amazing....Kindest Regards, Shona Christy

sprattliz wow...thank you so much for this info. i live in Chester, CT and am having a hard time finding beams and grey barn wood for my walls. this is exactly what I needed.

Emily Hurley Looks like flagstone, perhaps?

disummers At International Slate and Stone you can buy thinner veneers of slate or flagstone flooring so that it's not as heavy for an existing floors. That's what we're going to use in our remodel. Hope this helps even though 10 months later...
