Using Repurposed Barn Wood to Create
Beautiful Home Furnishings

By Kellyn Legath

Do you ever wonder what happens to old barns, buildings and factories once they have been  abandoned? Red Rooster Designs gives them a second chance. This environmentally-friendly home furnishings company takes building materials from dilapidated buildings in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Western Maryland and turns them into treasured furnishings.

How many times do you have to utter the words “Pick that up” or “Clean up your room” each day? Keeping the kids organized can be a challenge, but with a few key pieces you can have their rooms looking clean and neat in no time.
