We haven't yet made it out to the American Barn Company on Clark Street, but after we featured their Vintage Tin Ceiling Tiles on AT, they sent us a nice email letting us know that AT readers had stopped by for tin. The concept behind the Barn Company is a great one. After watching the destruction of dozens of beautiful Midwestern barns, general contractor Jay Wikary started recycling materials from the demolitions and making them into wood furniture, tongue-and-groove flooring, and custom home installations. Click below for their gallery of reclaimed wood projects.

Great idea, great company. I worked with Jay in 2006 on a fireplace mantel and my advice is not to start a project with him if you have a very strict deadline (even if you picked your material already). bronte on Feb 22, 2008
