Dining Room Floor. The couple saw a brick floor like this in the inspiration house they had admired and wanted to use it in their home. “Laying this flush with the wood floors was a labor of love because the brick veneers were thicker than the three-quarters-inch floorboards,” Horstman says. “But it was definitely worth it because it turned out awesome.” The brick floor delineates the dining area and adds unexpected textures.

Furnishings. A rustic wood table contrasts with the soft upholstery of the dining chairs. Two wingback host and hostess chairs and a chandelier also help anchor the dining area within the open floor plan. Barn doors slide shut to hide the TV but open when everyone is gathered during a big game, for example — a trick Horstman hadn’t tried before. “We picked barn wood with chippy white paint to give this element a different texture than the other reclaimed barn wood,” she says. “This adds more character.” Fireplace. They used real barn beams for the mantel and ceilings (as opposed to simulating beams by boxing them out with reclaimed boards). Beams wrap all the way around the two-sided fireplace, which is made with real bricks, not veneers. “We over-grouted so that the grout would drip down. This made the fireplace look like it had been there for many years,” Horstman says. Dining table and chairs: RH; chandelier: Visual Comfort
