Farmhouse Restoration

  • Some pictures from last year's farmhouse restoration.

  • Much of our time was spent preparing and installing old barn boards for several hundred square feet of flooring.

  • Dozens of other items were addressed: installing modified doors, custom doorway saddles, adjustable shelves, window repair, etc., etc.

The "den" with its new floor.

 

Another view of the den.

This precision inlay was made to repair a knot that had fallen out.  Many such repairs were needed to make the old barn boards useable.

 

Boards had been previously installed that did not match in figure and coloration.  Replacement boards were made through various methods of planing, sanding and finishing.

More boards replaced in another bedroom.  Can't tell which ones I replaced?  Good!

 

Another patch inlay patch example.  (The floor was dirty with drywall dust when this picture was taken.)

Fire wood?

 

No, future flooring.

The living room.

 

The kitchen.  You can see the shop made entrance saddle that transitions from the kitchen to the dining room.  We also installed a bead board back splash behind the counter.

I was able to reproduce the antique molding using my trusty portable router table and table saw.

 

Rebuilding the antique door knobs and locks gave me some interesting experience as a locksmith.

I didn't build this one, but it's a great example of what can be done with old barn boards and some reproduction hardware.

 

Shop made decorative shelves help finish off this built medicine cabinet.
