Color/type of shiplap siding?

13 years ago

Wondering what type of wood you used and if you used a semi-solid stain or some sort of paint? Love the rustic look!

The red barnwood is Cabot Semi Transparent Baked Brick. This was applied to old, weathered wood, so applying the same color to new wood might result in a brighter color. It's always best to try a few samples first.

The dark grey paint color was a custom match to the metal roofing we used, so unfortunately there isn't a color name. The metal roofing color is "Burnished Slate" (a pretty universal color in metal roofing). You could probably get a roof sample from a local building supply and have the paint store match it.

The bark shingles- AMAZING. Is this handcrafted or something that can be bought commercially?
