Picking Out a Front Door...

Ival has a friend who owns Reclaimed Lumber Products.  He takes lumber from old barns and buildings and makes the most beautiful flooring, cabinets, doors and furniture.  We had originally thought of using his flooring throughout the house, but once we REALLY thought about the practicality of it, we decided otherwise.  The soil on Jacob Springs is very sandy and loose and with 7 grandkids, 2 dogs, and all the traffic we'll have in and out, it just wasn't practical. 

So, we're going out tonight to pick out the wood and style for our front door.  Titus suggested we use 2 doors for our front but for energy efficiency (our builder is LEED certified) we've decided to go with 1 BIG door instead.  I can't wait to see what he has!

We have 2 dining room tables that have been in our families for many years, but if I can talk Elmer into it, I'm going to order one of these.  I REALLY want a beautiful 10 ft. farm table and love the wood on this one...

One thing I appreciate about Titus' work is that he gives you the history of the wood he uses in your product - where it came from, the age, what the building was used for.  I love beautiful old wood.
