The Sleek Hermosa Beach Exterior Renovation was designed to give the homeowners a modern and durable update that could withstand the coastal weather. The project included installing new energy-efficient windows that not only improved the home's curb appeal but also helped with insulation and noise reduction. We applied smooth stucco to create a sleek, contemporary look while enhancing the property's overall resilience. To further protect the home, we implemented top-notch waterproofing techniques, crucial for the beachside location of Hermosa Beach, ensuring long-lasting durability against the ocean air and moisture.
Throughout the project, the homeowners shared their vision of a stylish yet low-maintenance exterior. With that in mind, we sourced materials from local suppliers and utilized our extensive experience in coastal renovations to bring their dream to life. The end result is a stunning transformation that not only reflects the homeowner's style but also improves the home's structural integrity, making it a true standout in the neighborhood.

The Park Union Building at 910 Union Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn has Vermont Plank Flooring’s “Roasted” Red Oak wide plank flooring in each of its 15 condominiums. The developer, American Development Group, selected Vermont Plank both for its uniquely beautiful product, and for the sustainable methods used to harvest the local timber.
“I was able to find a local supplier with a local harvest, keeping Americans employed, with a superior product,” said Perry Finkelman, the development group’s CEO.
Vermont Planks “Roasted” Red Oak is thermally treated at 500 degrees Fahrenheit in a special kiln that removes all oxygen to prevent the timber from combusting. The process caramelizes the wood, giving it a dark, almost walnut-like appearance all the way through each plank. It also makes the planks more structurally sound and less likely to expand or contract with moisture.
The floor was finished with a zero VOC finish, Rubio Monocoat, along with a single coat of Rubio 5% White Oil. Click here for the full story on 910 Union Street.
Flooring: Roasted Red Oak in varied widths
Finish: Custom Rubio 5% White Oil Finish

This warm, rustic kitchen and dining space brings together Antique Skip Oak Flooring underfoot, Weathered Antique Paneling along the bar wall, Hand Hewn Timbers overhead as ceiling beams and posts, and Weathered Antique Fridge Doors integrated into the kitchen island, set against a backdrop of natural granite stone. The mix of reclaimed wood tones and textures captures the just right scaled, casual elegance envisioned for this Minnesota barnhouse, with the timber framing offering an authentic rustic counterpoint to the stone walls and modern kitchen finishes.
Antique Skip Oak Flooring is milled from a mix of red and white reclaimed oak, salvaged from century old structures, skip planed to leave a distressed surface that bears the marks of the original milling saws. Weathered Antique Paneling and Fridge Doors bring a mix of softwoods, hemlock to pine, sourced from joists, roof boards, decking, and walls of late 19th and early 20th century structures, their deep moody patina a natural complement to the Hand Hewn Timbers overhead, hand shaped with axes and adzes by Wisconsin farmers generations ago.
Whether you are a homebuilder, a home remodeling contractor, or a homeowner drawn to authentic reclaimed wood flooring, paneling, and timbers, Manomin Resawn Timbers can help bring that character into your own kitchen. Visit our showroom in Hugo, MN or reach out to us with a call or a message.

At golden hour, this sprawling Minnesota barnhouse shows off the full range of its reclaimed wood exterior, Weathered Gray Barnwood Paneling on the main house and Antique Red Barnwood Paneling on the connected barn structure, unified by a base of natural granite stone. Multiple gabled rooflines, weathervanes, and cupolas nod to the simple farm buildings that inspired this design, while the contrast between the two reclaimed wood tones captures the eclectic, evolved character the homeowners set out to create.
Weathered Gray Barnwood Paneling is milled from a mix of softwoods, hemlock to pine, salvaged from joists, roof boards, decking, and walls of late 19th and early 20th century structures, carrying a naturally aged patina that grows richer with time. Antique Red Barnwood Paneling is sourced from the quintessential red barns of the American Midwest, its faded crimson boards weathered by decades of sun, snow, and rain into a rustic rust color naturally resistant to warping and shrinkage.

Through a collective dialogue between landscape, architecture and interior design, a new vision reimagines the disturbed site into a livable landscape, emblematic of our American West. The residence – an ensemble of structures designed in a modern ranch vernacular – is effortlessly unified through layered, interconnected outdoor gathering spaces and regional materials that elaborates upon the experience of moving between structures, heightening and renewing one’s sense of place. Upon entering the courtyard, one is immediately aware of seamless and unfolding relationships between architecture and landscape through a sophisticated, regional palette of natural stone, water, and plants. Set upon architectural focal points, two perpendicular sandstone paths descend into the space and converge upon a monolithic, hand-carved granite fountain. The design of the fountain is purposefully quiet, both in its detailing and operation. The feature includes a recessed interior, allowing water to become still before it reaches the surface, with lightly cleft sides, allowing the water to delicately bounce as it descends into the geometric lower granite basin. The landscape architect’s selection of various stone material extends the tones of the home’s granite walls and contextual surroundings into the garden, but also be detailed in a manner that balances rural and modern qualities. The majority of the paving is constructed of rectilinear gray sandstone with a natural finish and snapped edges, laid in a staggered running bond organization. Throughout the garden, thoughtful attention was also given to the configuration and layout of terraces, pathways, and steps. In doing so, this ensured that the edges of the terrace and its interface to other elements were designed so that no “leftover” stone paver pieces would be found. Within the central courtyard, split-faced stone stairs descend into a rectilinear plinth of lawn, punctuated by a carved granite fire pit. Leveraging the property’s existing topographic relief, a shallow infinity-edge dipping pool abstracts the transparent and cavity-like pools found throughout the Rocky Mountains. The design purposefully achieves the illusion of a larger water feature with the distant pond and offers a refreshing recreational element. Containing the infinity edge, a designed granite escarpment emerges from the meadow, juxtaposing the geometric water feature and providing informal seating ledges. The site’s prior use required the landscape architect to incorporate a highly technical and complex sub-surface structural system. The initial geotechnical report identified the building envelopes rested on 12 feet of man-placed fill. Assuming a 1 percent settlement, the team faced concerns that the terraces would settle up to 12 inches. In response, a grid of structural micro-piles provides the necessary foundation for the construction of terraces immediately outside of the architecture, under the water features and site walls. The solution enabled the crisp detailing and design resolution of the architectural structures to seamlessly connect with the horizontal stone terraces.

Quax loves contemporary design and with the Havana room the sleek line and solid wood get a place in the range, confirming its place on the international design scene. Tested by internationally recognized bodies on EN-716 for the beds and EN-12221 for the changing tables and with long-term use in mind.
The metal base is finished with a black powder coating. The upper structures are a mix of lacquered and solid wood panels. The charm of solid wood is reflected in its pristine patina and is the guarantee of a natural product that over time becomes increasingly unique and valuable. A contribution that should not be underestimated to the natural and the cozy interior, a caress for the senses. Depending on the tree’s habitat, color differences are possible and proof of its essence.
At Quax we use sustainable materials. All the furniture boards meet the strict E1 standard on formaldehyde emissions. We support durable forestry and ask our suppliers to submit the PEFC and FSC certificates. Special care also goes to the furniture fittings. Only reputable suppliers provide us with, among others, quality sliders for the drawers and reliable connecting techniques. The paint finish is another point of attention, we only work with international quality supplierssuch as Akzo Nobel and no local producers. All producers are responsible for the certificates of their products, for example EN 71-3 with attention for the migration of harmful elements.
Design also plays an important role in the business philosophy of Quax. In the Havana room the bars are milled out in the Mdf board, which does not only contribute to the fancy nature of this range but also to the sturdiness of the sideframes, not comparable to traditional bars.
The range includes beds 120x60 cm, 140x70 cm with optional bedrail, a chest of four drawers with optional changing extension and a two or three-door wardrobe.

Many buyers ask the same question when sourcing bedside tables from China:
“Why is the MOQ so high?”
For OEM bedside table and nightstand projects, MOQ is not only a sales rule. It is connected with material purchasing, machine setup, finishing process, hardware ordering, packaging, and production efficiency.
For standard ODM bedside tables, MOQ is usually easier to manage because the factory already has the structure, material plan, and production process ready.
For custom OEM nightstands, MOQ is usually higher because the project may involve custom size, color, drawer structure, legs, handles, finish, logo, packaging, or smart functions such as USB-C, wireless charging, LED lighting, Bluetooth speaker, fingerprint lock, or password lock.
For importers, distributors, hotel buyers, e-commerce sellers, and private label furniture brands, the best solution is not always to ask for the lowest MOQ.
A better approach is:
- Start with existing ODM models
- Keep the material and finish simple
- Use mixed SKUs under one material plan
- Accept a reasonable small-order price increase
- Build long-term cooperation with the factory
- Test the market first before placing a larger order

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.
Whether you are a homebuilder, a home remodeling contractor, or a homeowner envisioning a true barnhouse exterior, Manomin Resawn Timbers can help bring this reclaimed wood look to life. Visit our showroom in Hugo, MN or reach out to us with a call or a message.
