Beautiful ways to repurpose barn wood

There’s something about old barn wood that gets me every time. The weathered, sunbathed look is just so gorgeous. It reminds me of all the things I love – sunshine, country life, and family. Thankfully it’s easy to find in rural communities, and there are so many ways to give it new life!

Here are some of my favorite ideas from Blogland. (Some of them aren’t even made with real barn wood, so if you’re smack dab in the middle of a metropolis, no worries – you can make new wood look like barn wood easily by whitewashing it with this tutorial I found on Making It In the Mountains. Worthing Court also has a great tutorial on How to Make New Wood Look Like Barn Wood.)
