The wainscoting is made from reclaimed
white barn board. For this special job, no wood was joined, every edge was
eased to look worn with a wavering block plane. Knots, bullet holes, gouges,
old paint, saw marks and every other imperfection were embraced and showcased
for the story they represented. Nothing looks new.
The ceiling is treated with tongue and
grooved, beveled cedar planks.
There is nothing more incongruous than when
a room is rustic but the sheetrock walls are left smooth - especially when the
wall are left white. To give the walls an aged look we used a two-tone
yellow-gold, coarse Venetian plaster.
