American Farmhouse Style – June 2019

When it comes to wood accents, you can never
have enough. Vintage Timbers, Inc. thinks so too. In
2013, three fi refi ghter/paramedics came together
to reclaim old wood and create new wood
products that provide beautiful and sustainable
home accents. “We began by salvaging old barns
and houses , which eventually led to producing
products from our wood,” says Jamie Shaff er,
president of Vintage Timbers.
The company produces a wide range of
products, from custom fl ooring, beams and
furniture to sets of wallboard paneling, which are
also available through Home Depot. “Our projects
range from one accent wall to entire houses,”
Jamie says. “We focus on creating high-quality
reclaimed accents that always become the focal
points of the room.”
Besides the quality, it’s the farmhouse
community that has made Vintage Timbers
possible. “When we fi rst started, the reclaimed and
rustic movement was really becoming popular,”
Jamie says. “Everyone knew [about reclaimed
wood], but most didn’t know where they could
get it. We have worked hard to make reclaimed
wood products available and aff ordable to
everyone, regardless of location.”
Sharing the passion of wood accents with
homeowners around the country has made the
business personally rewarding. “Nothing has been
more gratifying than the pictures we receive
from customers all around the country, showing
our products and how they have changed their
houses and truly impacted their lives,” Jamie says.
“We’ve taken our passion from small town USA,
and been able to share it with all of America.”
