concrete kitchen flooring, step down to wood flooring... ah, notice the concrete slab (shelving built into the wall)

Love the use of a modern garage door in an unexpected place.

I love the use of wood here. I think you could "wrap" a fixer-upper in wood facia like this and instantly make it modern. Or you could add a touch of modern by adding one single wood wall to the exterior of a home.

Q

Love this use of wood to create warmth/modernity in a bathroom

Q

So many elements to love here... from the wood slab island to the i-beam ceiling structure.

DYI recycled wood accent wall

Q

High design and Far East tradition intersect with the dark, dramatic Japanese siding produced by a process called shou-sugi-ban. Translated as "the burning of Japanese cypress (sugi)," shou-sugi-ban is gaining popularity outside of Japan, as the process renders wood nearly maintenance free and makes it resistant to fire, rot and pests. Siding created by this method also has an expected life span of more than 80 years, thanks to a protective layer created by carbon released during burning.

Q

I like the combination of rustic beams with rustic industrial posts.

Q

I like the way the beams frame this space.
