Country Living in the City: How to Bring Barnwood into Your City Apartment

Your home is a reflection of you. So, what happens when you move into a big city but the country holds your heart?

Incorporating barnwood furniture and décor into your city apartment is simple and will allow you to travel back to your roots just by walking through the door.

Replace Standard Doors with Sliding Barnwood Doors

Taking down a bedroom, closet, pantry, or bathroom door is simple. Also, it makes quite the difference! Add a track to the wall that allows for a barnwood door to slide open and shut. Make it your own with fun hardward and a stain that suites your style.

Barnwood Kitchen Accents

If you’re renting there’s always the issue of not wanting to invest too much time and money into your space, especially since there’s a chance it won’t be your forever home.

Bringing in temporary accent pieces like pallet wood pictures, wine or coffee mug racks, cooking utensils, and even cutting boards to be left on display are sure to add that rustic country flair that warms your heart.

Barnwood Table in the Center of it All

Whether in your kitchen as a café-style round table or in your living room as a coffee table, a barnwood table in the center of your place will look not only beautiful but will serve as a place to gather with the ones that you love.

Trendy Spring Time Ideas for the Home – Design, Cleaning, and More!

Warmer days are on the horizon! Are you as excited as us? We’re thinking yes!

A new season always brings new design inspirations and we love getting in on them. The truth is, though, that home decorating is expensive and time consuming. So how do you “keep up with the Jones’s” without breaking the bank?

We are sharing some of our favorite tips when we’re feeling a little bored with our space.

Bring in Flowers and Plants

Flowers are a natural and easy way to add a new color in any room, whenever you want. Not to mention – they smell beautiful and are inexpensive! Want to get in on the latest trend? Grab a succulent to place on your living room coffee table. It’s easy to care for and sure to be a hit!

Add a New Coat of Paint

Whether on an accent wall or your favorite barn wood table, a fresh coat of paint is the first step in giving your space a brand new feel. Make it a simple project with some spray paint or step it up a notch with some chalk paint, which gives your furniture a cool matte finish.

Rearrange What You Own

Who’s to say that awesome end table in the living room can’t serve as a nightstand in the bedroom? Take inventory of the pieces you already own and rearrange them to update the look and feel of your home for free!

Clean Your Reclaimed Barn Wood Furniture

Once you’re satisfied with your updated layout and look in your home, be sure to properly clean your barn wood furniture.

Some items to avoid when cleaning our barn wood include:

Silicone-based cleaning or polishing products
Harsh chemicals such as ammonia, bleach
Abrasive powders, pads, or steel wools
Sponges or dishcloths that have been used to clean food or may contain oils

What are you looking to do to update your space this spring?

Rustic Coffee Tables for the Living Room and Beyond

A living room staple for most and a great focal point for any room for many, the coffee table is a piece of furniture that is sure to add a touch of personality to any space. Depending on your style, you may find that a rustic, reclaimed wood coffee table will make for the perfect statement piece to display your vintage books or magazines and rest your favorite cup of coffee or tea on.

Consider a Custom-made Reclaimed Wood Coffee Table

There are many reasons why people buy coffee tables. Here are a few reasons why they buy custom-made, reclaimed wood coffee tables to enhance the look of their space:

1. Adds character. If you’re looking to create a one-of-a-kind piece that matches your current décor, we have barnwood stains and barnwood paint colors to customize the look of a coffee table. Applying a paint or stain to a reclaimed wood coffee table will not only give it more character, but it will help to preserve the life of the table.

2. Extra storage space. Some of our reclaimed wood coffee tables are crafted with shelves, which are ideal to hold decorative pieces or act as a convenient storage space for books, magazines, or other miscellaneous items.

3. Custom-made. When deciding on the perfect coffee table for a room, there are certain characteristics one is looking for. Some want a round coffee table. Some want one with a dark wood finish. While others want a table with shelves. At Old Barn Star we work with you to create a custom-made coffee table that suits your needs.

If you’re looking for a timeless piece that your friends and family will love, we suggest going with a rustic coffee table made from reclaimed barnwood. Picture you and a few close friends gathered together for a movie night; your new coffee table will be the perfect spot to place a hot bowl of popcorn within everyone’s reach.

Custom Lounge Tables at Le Malt Brown Spirits & Wine Lounge in NJ

We are completely honored to have had the opportunity to work with the designers of Le Malt, a new brown spirits and wine lounge in New Jersey. To be honest, we think we make the perfect pair—every exquisite cocktail should rest upon an equally fine table!

Unique Cocktail Tables, Spirits and Cuisine

Located in Colonia, New Jersey, Le Malt features 750 brown spirits from around the world, including bourbons, cognacs, brandies and aged tequilas. In addition, they offer a menu of 100 still and sparkling wines carefully chosen by their sommelier. What better way to celebrate an occasion than with a 200th Anniversary Jonnie Walker around a reclaimed barnwood table that could be just as old!

Le Malt also features a sophisticated small plates menu, designed by Executive Chef Duke Estime to be shared amongst friends. Ordering a plethora of plates to sit atop one of their unique cocktail tables within the lounge is encouraged!

Working with Le Malt’s designers at Roomology™ Staging, a full-service professional staging company, was an amazing experience and a project we’re very proud of. Take a look at some of the custom lounge tables we created for them in the pictures below. Be sure to continue reading to learn more about our work with Roomology and Le Malt, directly from the owner of Roomology™ Staging!

Le Malt Went Custom with Rustic Barnwood Lounge Tables

“At Roomology™ Staging we aim to improve the look of any space, whether it’s your home or a commercial property. For this project we, at Roomology™ Staging, wanted to find unique rustic coffee tables that would not only counter balance the rich leather Chesterfield seating and high-gloss molding, but would stand up to spills, water marks, and the usual wear and tear expected in a restaurant/lounge.

Because the floor space was limited, we needed tables that were relatively small, but large enough to accommodate food and drinks for 2 guests. Our timelines were tight, so we initially scoured the Internet and visited many furniture stores for ‘off the shelf’ products. But, after weeks of unsuccessful searching, we realized we needed to go custom. That’s when we contacted Old Barn Star.

We first heard of Old Barn Star from good friends who recently purchased a new custom built dining table with benches; they were gorgeous! Old Barn Star was able to work closely with us on the design, providing us with many ideas and options for tabletops, wood species, and leg styles. Based on an idea from their website gallery, we settled on black painted metal legs which they were able to fabricate with the help of a local tradesman.

We had a large order of 25 tables and Old Barn Star was able to meet our timelines! The quality and finish of the tables are impeccable; they are heavy, solid wood, and beautiful. And to top it off, their customer services was outstanding.”—Nipa Alon, Owner of Roomology Staging (www.roomologystaging.com)
