This Minnesota barnhouse courtyard brings together Weathered Gray Barnwood Paneling and Antique Red Barnwood Paneling, connecting the main house, guest structures, and covered porch with the rustic glam, country western character at the heart of this farmstead style property. The silvery grey siding of the walkway and porch pairs beautifully with the faded crimson barn in the background, echoing the eclectic mix of simple farm buildings the whole design draws from, while granite stone walls and a matching stone chimney add texture and weight against the reclaimed wood.
Weathered Gray Barnwood Paneling is milled from a mix of softwoods, hemlock to pine, salvaged from joists, roof boards, decking, and walls of structures dating to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, its cool tones and high grain contrast making it a versatile choice for both classic and contemporary homes. Antique Red Barnwood Paneling carries that same reclaimed history in a warmer palette, sourced from the quintessential red barns of the Midwest, its faded crimson hue filtered through decades of sun, snow, and rain, naturally resistant to warping and shrinkage for lasting exterior use.

Every now and again, I get a call from a client located on the small peninsula of Sandbanks, Poole. Sandbanks, sometimes referred to as ‘Britain’s Palm Beach’, is known for its fantastic beach and high value property. My client asked me to take a look at a Travertine floor in his kitchen which was, in fact, more highly polished than he had wanted. The polished finish had worn off the travertine tiles where they had been walked on, leaving a dull trackway running down the centre of the kitchen. With its distinct characteristics, travertine is a popular choice for kitchen flooring, although it is also quite often used in bathrooms. In any case Travertine tiles will need regular maintenance to keep them looking their best.
Unfortunately, the kitchen floor must have experienced some sort of settlement or shrinkage as a long crack has appeared, which ran along the same line as the dull trackway. It is not uncommon for Travertine tiles to crack due to wear over time, or even bad fitting in some cases. While the exact cause of the crack was unclear, the homeowner concluded that the floor was certainly in need of restoration.
Repairing a crack in a Travertine tiled floor
Replacing the Travertine tiles was not an option due to a lack of spare tiles, so I opted instead to fill the crack in the floor using Harbro Stone Filler, an epoxy stone filler, matching the colour of the tile as closely as possible. I left this to set, before sanding down the excess filler.
My next action was to use a set of Tile Doctor Diamond burnishing pads to sand out any scratches and restore a more even shine to the floor, as per the client’s request. For polished stone, I recommend using a set of four burnishing pads applied in order: Coarse, Medium, Fine, and Very Fine. I used these one after the other with a little water to lubricate and restore the surface polish to the desired level.
Sealing a Travertine tiled floor
The next day, I returned to seal the floor with a couple of coats of Tile Doctor Colour Grow sealer. Colour Grow is a colour enhancing, impregnating sealer which penetrates deeply into the pores of the stone, thereby preventing dirt from becoming ingrained within. This particular sealer also enhances the natural colours within the Travertine tile, whilst also providing long term durable protection.
Although the crack could not be made to disappear completely, its appearance was much improved. The customer was also very pleased with the long-lasting lower sheen provided, describing it as “the finish I had wanted in the first place when the tiles were fitted”.

Spacious multi-purpose study space lined with a full seamless light oak handleless cabinet wall. The cabinet system includes top overhead bulk storage drawers, middle closed wardrobe cabinets, a hidden pull-down murphy bed cabinet for temporary guest accommodation, and lower drawer storage units. A continuous extra-long floating desk runs alongside the large black-framed multi-pane windows, accommodating dual monitors and office supplies, with abundant natural woodland view outside the glass. Recessed ceiling spotlights provide even task lighting, cabinet panels adopt anti-dry-cracking treatment to cope with Canada’s dry winter heating environment, avoiding wood shrinkage and gap expansion. This convertible office-guest room layout is extremely popular for Canadian suburban villa auxiliary space planning.

This renovation was completed with the primary goal of removed the carpet in the stairs which was not only difficult to clean but constantly looking worn in this very busy household. Ideally they wanted a durable, low maintenance flooring solution that still added character and coziness. The solution: Luxury vinyl planks! The unique and discreet metal nosings we used respect the clean lines and richness of this amazing plank in a non-commercial way. NOTE: While not all vinyl planks are created equal - the good ones are worth paying a little extra for!
