If you’ve been following us on Instagram or Facebook, or reading this blog, you know that we LOVE LOVE LOVE to use natural wood in our homes. It was a trend for many years to stain wood dark, which has a particular beauty to it, but we think the freshness and warmth that natural wood brings can’t be beat! Whether you are building a home from the ground up, doing a massive renovation, or just a little home refresh, natural wood is a gorgeous addition (and easy!) addition to your design plan. Here are just a few examples of how we have used natural wood in recent projects:

Exterior in Simply White, Trim in Graphite
Cedar plank wall in clear coat with a few drops of white.
Stunning Kitchen at the Delaware project–perimeter cabinets in rift sawn white oak with a clear coat.
Beam straps are clear coated yellow pine, and ceiling beams are painted Benjamin Moore Graphite
