Our client sought to modernize their classic 1970s home while preserving its original charm. This full-home renovation prioritized openness and functionality. We transformed the kitchen into a bright, welcoming space, leveled the sunken living room to expand the living area, and designed seamless indoor-outdoor connections to showcase breathtaking south-west facing golf course & ocean views. The result? A beautifully updated home that harmonizes mid-century character with contemporary comfort. The architecture was fun to work with, featuring dramatic roof pitches, a striking two-story double-sided fireplace, and thoughtfully designed room-to-room connections. Strategic wall cutouts and varying floor levels added interest and character, making this home a truly unique and dynamic space. The kitchen connects to the exterior, dining room, and living room, and features a peninsula and a cozy morning nook for gathering. Thoughtful flow was essential for this busy space, creating distinct yet harmonious spaces to enjoy throughout the home. Texture was thoughtfully incorporated using natural materials, including quartzite with cloud-like movement, woven light fixtures, and high-variation ceramic tile. The oak flooring, rich with knots and striking grain patterns, adds warmth and character to the space.

This home bar pairs Weathered Antique Paneling along the wall with matching Weathered Antique Cabinetry below, framing a stone farmhouse sink and vintage inspired wall-mounted faucet. The warm, honeyed grain of the reclaimed wood brings genuine texture and history to the space, standing in handsome contrast to the cool, hand carved stone counters and sink, capturing the rustic character central to this Minnesota barnhouse. Weathered Antique Paneling and Cabinetry are milled from a mix of softwoods, hemlock to pine, sourced from joists, roof boards, decking, and walls of late 19th and early 20th century structures. These gorgeous pieces of history carry a natural patina from a century of weathering and aging that cannot be replicated, and in this lighter toned selection the wood shows off warm honeyed hues and knotty character that pair beautifully with custom kitchen cabinetry. Whether you are a homebuilder, a home remodeling contractor, or a homeowner drawn to authentic reclaimed wood paneling and cabinetry, Manomin Resawn Timbers can help bring that character into your own kitchen.
