I went into that place in havasu a few months back. Tons of crap to decorate your house with. You can spend a small fortune in there.

Rough saw cut wood, Concrete counters. Farm sink.

No. Fellow artisan. He does a lot of this work in Tennessee. Rough saw cut wood is no too popular here in Vegas. We do the counters though. www.arizonafallslv.com

Cowboy hurts...

SuperJet · Apr 21, 2015

Lots of raw/ weathered wood and iron.

coolchange · Apr 21, 2015

Check out the magazine "Cowboy" style or something like that. Lots of fashion but a lot of architectural also. Kind of south west desert stuff.

Scheels In Sparks, Nv. has a home decorating/furniture dept. that sounds like what you are looking for. I checked and don't see a store in Vegas. If you happen to get up to Reno check it out. That dept. in that store can keep my wife busy for hours, while I cruise through the rest of the store.

Regarding barn lumber...
I had a project awhile back and wanted some legit barn siding to create a wall in my shop. I am in the heart of old barn country and let me tell ya that stuff is like gold. What I did was buy a pickup load of culled 1x6 dog-eared cedar fence boards from the local lumber yard and cut the dog-ear end of flush, then treat them with a product from this company.

Within 24 hours those brand new 99 cent apiece boards looked like they were 100 years old. You can distress them even more prior to staining by putting a handful of pea gravel on one board and "sandwiching" it with another, then walk on the board...it pits them and makes them look even older.
I've even had people ask me where I got the barn lumber for my faux Gas Station wall...

The three or four boards right of center were untreated at the time I took this pic. This sorta give you the idea of how it looks.

If you want to age cedar, spray it with bleach. Grays the shit out of it, and makes it look 100 years old. Had a construction project a while back, and remodel looked like a ghost town when we were done.

Flyinbowtie · Apr 22, 2015

You are welcome, Steve. There is another easy peasy product out there the name of which is lost to my aging brain at the moment, but I am hunting for it.
