The weathered wood cabinets in the kitchen above make the room look storied and full of character. You look at the salvaged material and instantly imagine how it was found and what work went into its transformation. We think that's part of the appeal of "rustic" interiors. We've gathered a few rustic modern pieces for the home after the jump...
The island above appears to be a weathered old wooden workbench. We love the warmth it lends to this stainless steel kitchen.
The wood in this dining room furniture at VivaTerra is salvaged from old railroad ties.
This baseboard heater is painted by Cynthia Lee Quinn to look like weathered wood.
This weathered wood headboard is on sale right now at Pottery Barn Kids.
The Lake Side Table from BDDW comes in an oxidized maple that looks like was salvaged from a barn.
This Architectural Wooden Mirror from Flutter has a weathered wood frame. Given its large size, it can add substantial rustic detail to the home.

I know most people associate this look with rustic style, but to me, weathered wood smacks of 1970s Soho lofts, back when lofts were quasi-illegal DIY dwellings. Weathered wood is urban and bohemian -- it looks like you picked up the wood from a dumpster on Orchard Street in the middle of the night.

Any apartment therapy readers who love this look MUST check out Timelinewood.com !!! My friends just re-did their home using this product and it looks AMAZING.

Very nice but some of the prices on these things are rediculous. If you make it on you own then good if not .. no.

Why not use a reclaimed wooden door for a headboard for the child's bed?

Salvage material ideas is the only reason I read apartmenttherapy. I love the small wood pallets as drawers in the top pic.

both kitchens are so beautiful.. I would love to have an entire home in this style. I have seen much better reclaimed wood dining tables.

scootergirl ~ if you use a reclaimed old door as a childs headboard, you need to make very certain that the surface is sealed really well, many old door are painted with lead-containing paint.
