Overlooking the lake, this dining room pairs Hand Hewn Timbers, used as ceiling beams and full height window and wall framing, with Antique Skip Oak Flooring underfoot, striking the balance between rustic and elegant that defines this Minnesota barnhouse. Crystal chandeliers and a long dining table set beneath the reclaimed timber ceiling create a gracious welcome for a couple who loves family and entertaining, the raw texture of the wood offering a warm, grounded counterpoint to the refined lighting and furnishings. Hand Hewn Timbers, salvaged from our neighboring Wisconsin and shaped by hand with axes and adzes, bring true one of a kind character to this space, every beam and post marked by the inexact hand tools that built the original farms and barns of the American Midwest. 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 more than a century ago. Whether you are a homebuilder, a home remodeling contractor, or a homeowner drawn to authentic Hand Hewn Timbers and reclaimed oak flooring, Manomin Resawn Timbers can help bring that character into your own home.

This custom farmhouse-style master bathroom strikes a perfect balance between crisp sophistication and inviting warmth. The walls, painted in Sherwin Williams Passive, offer a soft light gray backdrop with cool blue undertones, creating a serene and airy foundation. This tone pairs effortlessly with the cabinetry finished in Sherwin Williams Tin Lizzie—a rich, medium gray that adds depth while remaining beautifully versatile. A true focal point, the horizontal shiplap accent wall—painted in Sherwin Williams Alabaster—draws the eye immediately, providing a bright and textural contrast behind the white Elina acrylic freestanding tub. This moment feels both classic and fresh, grounding the space in farmhouse tradition while elevating it with a refined edge. Polished chrome hardware ties the design together seamlessly, coordinating with the sleek vanity lights and faucets to deliver a clean, modern touch. In contrast, the white beaded chandelier suspended above the tub introduces a layer of softness and organic texture, gently balancing the sharper lines found throughout the space. Underfoot, Evora White Versailles porcelain tile mirrors the subtle movement and gray undertones found in the ashen gray quartz countertops, creating a cohesive flow from surface to surface. The result is a thoughtfully curated bathroom that feels calm, elevated, and effortlessly timeless.

A mirror- eclectic walk-in closet is a bold and expressive space where artistry meets sophistication. The mirrored surfaces amplify light and depth, creating a glamorous sense of openness while reflecting every design detail like a curated gallery. A statement wallpaper on the ceiling draws the eye upward, adding a layer of surprise and personality that transforms the room into a visual experience. The patterned rug underfoot anchors the space, introducing warmth, texture, and a touch of playful contrast. Every element—mixing vintage and contemporary influences, bold patterns with refined finishes—comes together to form a unique, eclectic balance between luxury and creativity. The result is a walk-in that feels artful, daring, and unforgettable, perfectly suited for someone with a distinct sense of style.

Tucked beside the wine cellar, this cozy booth is fully wrapped in Weathered Antique Paneling, framed by Hand Hewn Timbers as posts and ceiling beams, with Antique Skip Oak Flooring underfoot. The reclaimed wood carries through into the adjoining wine cellar as well, creating a warm, moody retreat for gathering that feels every bit as rustic and lived in as the rest of this Minnesota barnhouse. Weathered Antique Paneling is 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, its deep moody patina ideal for wrapping an entire nook in reclaimed character. Hand Hewn Timbers, salvaged from our neighboring Wisconsin and shaped by hand with axes and adzes, bring true one of a kind texture to every post and beam, while Antique Skip Oak Flooring beneath is milled from a mix of red and white reclaimed oak, skip planed for a distressed, century old surface. Whether you are a homebuilder, a home remodeling contractor, or a homeowner drawn to authentic reclaimed wood paneling, timbers, and flooring, Manomin Resawn Timbers can help bring that character into your own home.

Timeless, Tailored & Completely Livable — Primary Suite, Foyer & Whole-Home Interior Design | Raleigh, NC This project is a study in how to make a home feel both elevated and deeply personal. Warm tones, natural wood, thoughtful layering of pattern and texture, and fixture choices that feel curated rather than catalog — every room earns its place. The foyer makes an immediate impression. Herringbone hardwood floors set a classic tone underfoot, while gray grasscloth wallpaper adds warmth and texture to the walls. A brass cage lantern flush mount and wainscoting complete the entry, making it feel finished without being fussy. It's the kind of space that makes guests pause. The primary bedroom is the project's centerpiece. A brass spindle bed frame anchors the room with quiet drama, flanked by walnut nightstands with brass legs and topped with a pair of extraordinarily custom lighting moments — multi-rod pendant chandeliers in brass and glass that hang from ceiling canopies, functioning as both bedside task lighting and sculptural focal points. Soft blue-gray custom drapery in a tonal dash-dot pattern hangs floor to ceiling on brass rods, layered over woven shades for light control and warmth. A pair of oatmeal linen swivel chairs with a marble-topped brass side table creates a proper sitting area at the foot of the bed. Floral accent pillows in terracotta and rust, an orange bolster, and a geometric cream and blue area rug give the neutral palette its energy. A modern minimalist white ceiling fan balances the traditional bones of the room beautifully. The primary bathroom is a full gut renovation executed at the highest level. Warm walnut cabinetry with raised panel detailing runs the full length of a double vanity, topped with white quartz and finished with polished nickel hardware and fixtures throughout. A heated towel warmer, large format Calacatta-look marble tile floors, individual rounded-rectangle nickel-framed mirrors, and nickel sconces round out the vanity wall. The shower is nothing short of a spa experience — floor-to-ceiling Calacatta marble tile in large format, a ceiling-mounted rain head, wall-mounted traditional shower head, hand shower on a slide bar, linear drain, floating bench seat, and grab bars integrated so seamlessly they feel designed rather than added. A second bathroom receives the same care: dark walnut cabinetry, white quartz, polished nickel fixtures, a custom patterned Roman shade, and a cylindrical glass sconce with brass accent. The walk-in pantry was designed with the same intentionality as every other room — white cabinetry, open upper shelving, a dedicated wine rack with both vertical and horizontal bottle storage, a second refrigerator, and dramatic swirling granite countertops that make even the utility spaces feel considered.

This modern transitional kitchen brings together bold design and everyday functionality with a striking U-shape layout anchored by an oversized quartz island. The island’s marble-look surface offers ample prep space and seating for casual dining, making it the centerpiece for both cooking and entertaining. Custom cabinetry blends timeless white shaker doors with dramatic black accents, including a show-stopping custom range hood detailed with gold inlay. Glass-front uppers and a bar area with a geometric backsplash add depth, storage, and display opportunities. Appliances are chef-caliber, featuring a professional-grade Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, double ovens, built-in microwave, wine fridge, and a full stainless package that ties seamlessly into the cabinetry design. The space is elevated by statement lighting with oversized lantern pendants, polished nickel hardware, and a detailed coffered ceiling with crown molding. Underfoot, rich hardwood floors with warm cherry undertones balance the cool contrast of black and white, infusing warmth into the space. Every element in this kitchen is crafted for luxury living, from the expansive work zones to the layering of textures and finishes, making it equally functional for daily use and unforgettable for entertaining.

Our formula for a home centered around play: a high-energy, high-contrast aesthetic with a mix of vintage and new, higher and lower end finishes and furnishings. There's nothing precious underfoot; the fabrics are all very cleanable; and our specifications are modular, so they work in an overall scheme — to be grouped or moved, regrouped and moved again. We are hopeful most of the furniture withstands the short term (eschewing the "college kid" stereotype — not all young adults ruin things!) and can also be anchors in the next iteration of life in this off campus getaway.

The Ravenwood's Kitchen showcases a clean and contemporary design with its white countertops and cabinets. The light hardwood floor adds warmth and a touch of natural beauty to the space.

A white couch adds a cozy seating area within the kitchen, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. A beige rug enhances the overall aesthetic and adds a soft touch underfoot. White can lighting illuminates the space, creating a bright and well-lit environment for cooking and entertaining. The Ravenwood's Kitchen is a stylish and functional space that combines modern elements with a timeless appeal.

This vaulted living room wraps Weathered Antique Paneling up the walls and across the ceiling, paired with Antique Skip Oak Flooring underfoot, creating a warm, enveloping retreat that overlooks the lake beyond. Plaid upholstery, a stone fireplace, and layered textiles bring a cozy lodge feeling to the space, while the reclaimed wood surfaces ground the room in the country western, rustic glam character defining this Minnesota barnhouse. Weathered Antique Paneling is 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, its deep moody patina developed over a century of natural weathering, ideal for wrapping an entire room in reclaimed character. 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.

DuraSupreme Cabinetry This timeless and classic kitchen informed the main living and lower level renovation with white and grey as the palette, and sophisticated details at every turn. Stylized shaker cabinetry took the cabinets to a new level with chrome hardware, soft close doors, and modern appliances that make it a dream kitchen for any cook. By knocking down the existing dining room wall, the kitchen expanded graciously and now includes a large seated island treated with furniture-like details in a soft dark grey. The white and grey tones play beautifully off the warm hand scraped wood floor that runs throughout the main level, providing a warmth underfoot. Openings were widened to allow for a more open floor plan and an extra wide barn door adds style to the front entrance. Additional dining was added to the former dining room as a breakfast nook complete with storage bench seating. A wine bar is tucked into a corner next to the living area allowing for easy access when entertaining. dRemodeling also built in a custom bookshelf/entertainment area as well as a new mantle and tile surround. The upstairs closet was removed to allow for a larger foyer. The lower level features a newly organized laundry room that is wrapped in traditional wainscoting along one wall and the ceiling. New doors, windows, register cover, and light switch covers were installed to give the space a total and complete makeover, down to the smallest detail. www.dremodeling.com

Inspiration for a french country bathroom remodel in Dallas

  Download our free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   Lakefront property in the northwest suburbs of Chicago is hard to come by, so when we were hired by this young family with exactly that, we were immediately inspired by not just the unusually large footprint of this 1950’s colonial revival but also the lovely views of the manmade lake it was sited on. The large 5-bedroom home was solidly stuck in the 1980’s, but we saw tons of potential. We started out by updating the existing staircase with a fresh coat of paint and adding new herringbone slate to the entry hall. The powder room off the entryway also got a refresh - new flooring, new cabinets and fixtures. We ran the new slate right through into this space for some consistency. A fun wallpaper and shiplap trim add a welcoming feel and set the tone for the home. Next, we tackled the kitchen. Located away from the rest of the first floor, the kitchen felt a little isolated, so we immediately began planning for how to better connect it to the rest of the first floor. We landed on removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room and designed a modified galley style space with separate cooking and clean up zones. The cooking zone consists of the refrigerator, prep sink and cooktop, along with a nice long run of prep space at the island. The cleanup side of the kitchen consists of the main sink and dishwasher. Both areas are situated so that the user can view the lake during prep work and cleanup! One of the home’s main puzzles was how to incorporate the mudroom and area in front of the patio doors at the back of the house. We already had a breakfast table area, so the space by the patio doors was a bit of a no man’s land. We decided to separate the kitchen proper from what became the new mudroom with a large set of barn doors. That way you can quickly hide any mudroom messes but have easy access to the light coming in through the patio doors as well as the outdoor grilling station. We also love the impact the barn doors add to the overall space. The homeowners’ first words to us were “it’s time to ditch the brown,” so we did! We chose a lovely blue pallet that reflects the home’s location on the lake which is also vibrant yet easy on the eye. Countertops are white quartz, and the natural oak floor works well with the other honey accents. The breakfast table was given a refresh with new chairs, chandelier and window treatments that frame the gorgeous views of the lake out the back. We coordinated the slate mudroom flooring with that used in the home’s main entrance for a consistent feel. The storage area consists of open and closed storage to allow for some clutter control as needed. Next on our “to do” list was revamping the dated brown bar area in the neighboring dining room. We eliminated the clutter by adding some closed cabinets and did some easy updates to help the space feel more current. One snag we ran into here was the discovery of a beam above the existing open shelving that had to be modified with a smaller structural beam to allow for our new design to work. This was an unexpected surprise, but in the end we think it was well worth it! We kept the colors here a bit more muted to blend with the homeowner’s existing furnishings. Open shelving and polished nickel hardware add some simple detail to the new entertainment zone which also looks out onto the lake! Next we tackled the upstairs starting with the homeowner’s son’s bath. The bath originally had both a tub shower and a separate shower, so we decided to swap out the shower for a new laundry area. This freed up some space downstairs in what used to be the mudroom/laundry room and is much more convenient for daily laundry needs. We continued the blue palette here with navy cabinetry and the navy tile in the shower. Porcelain floor tile and chrome fixtures keep maintenance to a minimum while matte black mirrors and lighting add some depth the design. A low maintenance runner adds some warmth underfoot and ties the whole space together. We added a pocket door to the bathroom to minimize interference with the door swings. The left door of the laundry closet is on a 180 degree hinge to allow for easy full access to the machines. Next we tackled the master bath which is an en suite arrangement. The original was typical of the 1980’s with the vanity outside of the bathroom, situated near the master closet. And the brown theme continued here with multiple shades of brown. Our first move was to segment off the bath and the closet from the master bedroom. We created a short hall from the bedroom to the bathroom with his and hers walk-in closets on the left and right as well as a separate toilet closet outside of the main bathroom for privacy and flexibility. The original bathroom had a giant soaking tub with steps (dangerous!) as well as a small shower that did not work well for our homeowner who is 6’3”. With other bathtubs in the home, they decided to eliminate the tub and create an oversized shower which takes up the space where the old tub was located. The double vanity is on the opposite wall and a bench is located under the window for morning conversations and a place to set a couple of towels. The pallet in here is light and airy with a mix of blond wood, creamy porcelain and marble tile, and brass accents. A simple roman shade adds some texture and it’s top-down mechanism allows for light and privacy. This large whole house remodel gave our homeowners not only the ability to maximize the potential of their home but also created a lovely new frame from which to view their fabulous lake views.
