DIY Barn Wood

Whether you’re creating a rustic interior or adding aged wood accents to a modern decorating scheme, barn wood is a popular choice. And the good news is you don’t have to pick through piles of splintery old lumber or pay exorbitant prices for the look of barn wood. You can easily transform inexpensive pine boards into rustic boards that are almost indistinguishable from the real thing. We’ll give you a recipe for creating your own barn wood. The 8-ft. 1×6 boards we used for creating our authentic-looking “aged barn wood” cost about $4 each.
