Reclaimed Wood Flooring, Timbers, Siding & Other Architectural Elements since 1995
“The barn, which was built just before the Civil War, was moved from the side of the road to the middle of the property. The original siding was replaced with mushroom wood.”
Check out the full Story and slide show over at the NY Times.
We happen to have an inventory of this unique material.
Some time ago, artist Linda Kelly came to us looking for some nice “canvases” in the form of reclaimed ceiling tin which she uses to create stunning stills, portraits and southwest-leaning landscapes.
Little did we know at the time that her son Brian, an equally talented artist and in equal need of similar raw material (jonesin’ rough tin for his own stash), was raiding mom’s cache for a tin fix to beat his own brand of “Butch Craft” art into submission.
Now, we hate so see a rift in the family circle caused by a lack of enough rough stuff to go around, so we bundled up a batch of scraps with mom’s last order and now the whole family is happy and making more stellar works.
Check out the respective artwork of Mother (Linda Kelly) and Son (Brian Rediker) who, while working in different mediums, get their initial fix from our reclaimed ceiling tin.

We outfitted Red & White Wines, 1861 North Milwaukee Ave., Chicago with some amazing reclaimed gray barn siding rescued from 100 year old barns. The reclaimed material is random widths 6″ – 10″ and used as cladding for wine, beer and spirit displays. The owners Sean Krainik and Nathan Adams chose our reclaimed materials to mirror what they value and sell – the space is natural, minimally altered and beautifully crafted.
