This lake cabin had gorgeous view and good bones, but had overwhelming wall-to-wall red knotty pine paneling...even on the ceilings! In order to keep the cabin look but bring a bit of a modern look to the space, we tempered the heavy wood by drywalling sections of the common areas. The blocky fireplace was transformed to feature a stone ledge façade all the way to the high ceilings. The log-look railings were replaced with sleek, contemporary iron. The floor was replaced with a dark, espresso-stained wood plank floor. Furniture featured clean, crisp lines and bright colors in natural prints.

Designed by MossCreek, this beautiful timber frame home includes signature MossCreek style elements such as natural materials, expression of structure, elegant rustic design, and perfect use of space in relation to build site. Photo by Mark Smith

Handscraped or distressed hardwood floors have a natural worn appearance. They look like floors from the days when floors were finished by hand.

Cortez real thin stone veneer from the Quarry Mill adds a beautiful rustic element as wainscoting and an accent wall to this stunning rustic cabin. Cortez real stone veneer is a house-made blend of natural quarried sandstones. The blend showcases both the natural mineral stained bedface as well as the more monochromatic interior part of the stone known as the split face. The individual pieces of real stone veneer will range in texture from rippled to sandy and smooth. With its range of natural earth tones, Cortez is versatile and complements a variety of other siding options such as brick, log, and stucco. Cortez can be installed with or without a mortar joint. A half-inch mortar joint is most common, but drystacking the stone gives a rustic yet modern feel.

The grey trend has evolved in the last twelve months. Nowadays browns, beige and a touch of grey are in demand. Greige is the new buzzword. Heavier hand scraped or contoured products, the rage that started around 2005 has taken a back seat in most areas, while a softer wire brushed "ceruse effect" seen mostly on White Oak has been remarkably strong showing no effects of becoming “dated” like the others mentioned. Ceruse Color Possibilities There are numerous color combinations to the "cerused" process with the most popular being white or off white. This design trend in hardwood flooring can have darker gray white oak with a mild ceruse off white effect. There are limitless possibilities in either a prefinished hardwood floor or with what we can create for you in a custom on-site finished hardwood floor. If something suits your fancy, contact us and we can work on creating just the look and sense of style you are looking for.

Complimenting the beautiful Colorado fall colors, this Montana Timber Products home features prefinished ranchwood™ Tackroom, Circle Sawn texture as a vertical installation. - The beautiful ranchwood Tackroom color, along with the vertical installation and stone work, combine for a painter's pleasure with the fall birch colors. - Our flagship product, ranchwood™ is Montana Timber Products' chemical free, kiln dried, alternative milled rough stock wood. As an ideal reclaimed lumber alternative, the aesthetically pleasing rustic barn wood ranchwood™ is the result of an environmentally safe production process. Offering uncompromising natural, rustic beauty, ranchwood™ is typically less expensive than antique reclaimed barnwood. - Combined textures solidify into a beautiful rustic brew. - A custom millwork shop, Montana Timber Products offers many options to the customer's delight. Circle Sawn and Wire Brushed are Montana Timber Products' common cedar siding texturizing options.

The Wire Brushed option adds physical and aesthetic depth to the wood grain. In addition to the aesthetic beauty added from the texturing process, greater surface area is created, which allows the Seal-Once, 100% NO VOC waterproofer to more effectively penetrate the wood. Guarneteed for ten years, Seal-Once prevents water ingress and is safe for exterior and interior use, children and pets. - Sophistication is no stranger to rustic application if done properly, as seen here with distinct lines and harmonious collaboration of wood and stone. - If the environment is important to you, Montana Timber Products natural wood siding, trim, flooring, interior accents, timbers, beams -- all of our wood products -- do not use degenerative chemicals as some other companies do to achieve desired effects. Reclaimed wood, barn wood alternatives, and faux vintage wood are popular building materials further exemplified by Montana Timber Products environmentally friendly manufacturing technique.

The cabin typology redux came out of the owner’s desire to have a house that is warm and familiar, but also “feels like you are on vacation.” The basis of the “Hewn House” design starts with a cabin’s simple form and materiality: a gable roof, a wood-clad body, a prominent fireplace that acts as the hearth, and integrated indoor-outdoor spaces. However, rather than a rustic style, the scheme proposes a clean-lined and “hewned” form, sculpted, to best fit on its urban infill lot. The plan and elevation geometries are responsive to the unique site conditions. Existing prominent trees determined the faceted shape of the main house, while providing shade that projecting eaves of a traditional log cabin would otherwise offer. Deferring to the trees also allows the house to more readily tuck into its leafy East Austin neighborhood, and is therefore more quiet and secluded. Natural light and coziness are key inside the home. Both the common zone and the private quarters extend to sheltered outdoor spaces of varying scales: the front porch, the private patios, and the back porch which acts as a transition to the backyard. Similar to the front of the house, a large cedar elm was preserved in the center of the yard. Sliding glass doors open up the interior living zone to the backyard life while clerestory windows bring in additional ambient light and tree canopy views. The wood ceiling adds warmth and connection to the exterior knotted cedar tongue & groove. The iron spot bricks with an earthy, reddish tone around the fireplace cast a new material interest both inside and outside. The gable roof is clad with standing seam to reinforced the clean-lined and faceted form. Furthermore, a dark gray shade of stucco contrasts and complements the warmth of the cedar with its coolness. A freestanding guest house both separates from and connects to the main house through a small, private patio with a tall steel planter bed. Photo by Charles Davis Smith
