This new build has been years in the making, and we're thrilled to be sharing it as our first Customer Spotlight of 2025! We originally met the Kimers in 2018 when they came to our Concept Cottage Design Center to see Reclaimed Hand Hewn Beams, and we've worked with them closely since then to source the perfect reclaimed materials for their new home.

"While gathering inspiration photos from Pinterest and following the Fixer Upper projects we found a bedroom photo with the rough cut beams. That feel stuck. After researching options for the beams like simulated 3-piece box beams and rough sawn beams we decided we wanted weathered, antique, reclaimed hand-hewn beams with pockets and dowels and imperfections for an authentic feel."

"We made an appointment to see the product showroom in Davidson, NC, where we found inspiration for ideas beyond the beams. We're from St. Petersburg, FL, so discovering that Southend Reclaimed was involved with the reclamation of the Belleview Biltmore Hotel added to the appeal for us.

"We've had an excellent customer experience. The pre-sale engagement was filled with options and a willingness to expose us to design elements we hadn't thought of. Follow-through with pricing and coordination of delivery logistics was exemplary. Post sale remediations and add-on orders were also coordinated very well. Timely responses and follow up made us feel valued as customers.""


In addition to the Solid Antique Hand Hewn Beams that led the Kimers to us initially, they also fell in love with our Faded White Reclaimed Barnsiding and decided to feature it in their mudroom!


The exteriors of some historic barns were painted white during their lifetimes. Throughout the decades, Mother Nature worked her magic on the boards resulting in the white paint chipping and fading away and the exposed boards aging and turning various shades of grey and brown. We reclaim such boards and it makes for stunning wall and ceiling planking.


"We consider the white barnwood in the mudroom to be an artform unto itself adding to the intrigue of reclaimed products. There is a lot of appeal in knowing other's lives have experienced these materials and now they are living on with ours in this new home. The product quality is top notch and we have and will continue to highly recommend Southend Reclaimed to others!"

Working with the Kimers was such an awesome experience. We think they may love reclaimed wood almost as much as we do!
