you want that wood look throughout the house or just that feeling? You could do a pallet wall as an accent wall like this and then just decorate rustic throughout the home. If you click the photos attached that that room you'll see they did something similar.

I think the exterior of your house is beautiful and wouldn't want to change it! Can you just transform the interior instead - you could do something rustic that still works with the exterior. You could add wide rustic wood plank flooring, beadboard on the walls, stone walls, lots of things to give it the feel you want. Please do reconsider before making this lovely exterior something it's not!

About the exterior: our plan is to completely brick the downstairs, it already has brick in back and the garage. The wraparound porch with white wood NEVER stays clean, bugs are too attracted to it. The upstairs white part is white siding, it was done last summer. I would love to keep the white, but I don't know how it will look with the porch bricked, and I don't know how to do the inside like we want without changing it... I don't want our house to be one style on the outside and totally different on the inside... I don't know how to blend it..

The bathroom inspiration pic looks like it's from a log home, and it don't think you could replicate this look. An alternative might be shiplap placed horizontally. Reclaimed shiplap might be available in your area.

We are currently tearing down this old barn to salvage the wood... Our plan is to use the wood to do an accent wall or two in our living room, and do tin and salvaged wood accents throughout the home like these other pics.. The barn pic is the actual barn we are taking down, I want to paint our ceilings a color to blend with the salvaged wood, tin, and other wood stains that will be used, I'm thinking something in the beige family... We will be replacing our tile floors with wood flooring.

Any applied wall treatment must be applied over drywall. It's a fire code issue.

Do you mean over the Sheetrock? That's not a problem, the entire house has that now, and our plan is to go over it, and leave it there for extra insulation....

Lol. Ok I googled it, I didn't know that Sheetrock is also called dry wall... Our entire house has that everywhere... I'm planning to do accent walls with the barn wood, with chinking ( it took me weeks to find out what that was called) in between the pieces. Like this pic, not every wall, I don't have enough barn wood for every wall, and I think I will like it better without every wall done.. In this second bathroom pic it looks like only one wall was done.. I like that look.

You are trying to replicate the look of a log cabin, usually the exterior walls are log and the interior walls of modern rooms are drywall.

Bluenan, no they aren't, or not the ones I have been in... I've been in actual log houses that have logs for the interior walls... For me it is not about what everybody else is doing, it's about me, it's about the look that I want... I have a certain look that I want inside our house, I don't care if it's popular, or in style, I'm not concerned about resale value, impressing others, etc... I want the look that I want.. Ignore the white outside of our house, and the white metal roof, the white wraparound porch section is going to be bricked ( we have lots of tornadoes here, brick is safer), and the roof has to be redone very soon ( it wasn't done correctly when built), it will be replaced with architectural shingles. We are also planning an addition in the next two years, if we can't find bricks to match, then all the brick will be changed to a different color ( that's when we will be bricking the porch). The front columns will all be replaced then also. The columns will be changed to the log beam type with brick at the bottom.

Hi,
Go through the attachment for a while and for more options for rustic decor visit http://furnitureatalpa.blogspot.in/2013/05/one-of-kind-rustic.html

Let us know if you find something interesting.

Best Regards,

All righty then....

You asked for advice: if you want the inside and the outside to coordinate, then don't brick the outside. Brick doesn't go with old wood. Chinking is unattractive in my opinion.

Our log cabin has perimeter walls in log, but some drywall too, mostly where we installed walls that weren't part of the two original 1840's dog trot "pens." They do make wallpaper that duplicates the look. Might work in a powder room or inside your cabinets for just a touch of it.

If you are tearing down the barn to reuse the wood, you could also reuse all the doors from the barn and put in sliding barn doors throughout the home. Our hardware is perfect for that as nearly any door style can work with the track and trolleys. I attached a few pictures to hopefully showcase the versatility.

That's exactly what I was trying to say about the interior walls, deco...

Hello there. A friend of mine recently bought an old wood house - not log cabin but wood and we have learned all about ship lap and thinking. I found a place in Lexington Ky called Longwood that sells barnwood in any condition you request. I am going there tomorrow to pick out some wood for my new house. I plan to do one wall in every. room as we love the rustic look, just not on every wall. They are going to plane and sand mine then I am going to stain it. Also a stone mason I know is going to do the chinking for me. I really love the look

It sounds like there's not one thing about your house that you like. There is a simple solution - sell your home and buy/build a real log cabin. Don't spend a ton of money turning your lovely farmhouse into something it was never meant to be. It will take A LOT of money for what you're planning to look good, and it will not add a cent of market value to your home - and if poorly executed the value will drop.
