Materials: Materials are mixed using wood, barn board or shiplap, and wrought iron accessories. This mixture of materials helps create a look of depth. Generally, floors are wood with accent walls of barn board or shiplap. The metal is brought in with details such as lighting fixtures, hardware and railings.
