Rustic Charm

Americans love to relax. Whether a second home, vacation getaway or summer rental - the only requirement is peace and quiet, along with fun activities, of course.

A builder with a cabin on a creek in Tennessee faced quite a few challenges when renovating his family's getaway.  Tiny yet open to the out-doors, the cabin needed practical design with an infusion of rustic charm.  The on element in the cabin that would have to remain: the rough-hewn cedar beams.

His choice?  Western Red Cedar panels from Design The Space's Rustic Paneling Collection.  The panels, designed with a horizontal pattern, expands the interior space and opens up the ceiling to its rafters.  Combining cedar panels with rough-cut cedar on the beams and window and door casings lends the authenticity he had hoped for within his budget constraints.  The simple installation made this weekend project a reality!
