What's In The Barn?

Vintage Décor & Repurposed Furniture

The name says it all: at Inspired By The Farm, our specialty is authentic farmhouse decor and custom furniture. Unlike chain stores that mass-produce hundreds of wall hangings and crisp, clean merchandise, everything at Inspired By The Farm has a history. Our pieces have grit, dirt under the nails, weathered through the years but still standing strong.

That’s why we dedicate our time to hand-picking items and materials that we think deserve a second chance. We don’t look at pieces and see dust, rust, and paint scratches: we see potential. We see what was good about these pieces and how we can make them good once more, whether it’s a simple clean-up to preserve the original state of the piece or a complete repurposing to breathe new life into old barn wood.

You never know what you’ll find at Inspired By The Farm. We have an array of unique vintage farm decor that you’ll be hard pressed to find anywhere else. You can even have a piece custom-made, just for you! If you see something you like in our gallery that inspires you or if you’ve been looking for a way to repurpose an old family memento, contact us today and we’ll get started designing!

Featured Custom Design:
Bleacher Table and Benches

This custom creation holds a special place in our hearts. It was designed by Dick and built with reclaimed lumber from bleachers in Sigourney, IA where Dick grew up. A few broken planer blades and a lot of hard work went into this unique piece. A little piece of our history made new. It's found its new home at Pointe D'Vine.

Drawer Base with Desktop

This custom piece was architect designed to fit in a downtown loft apartment utilizing ceiling joists demoed from the same building.

One of our favorite pieces! This sideboard was custom-built with wood and barn tin from the Eddyville farm; the top is beautiful solid walnut. The red gives it a great pop of rustic color.

Outdoor Kitchen Station

Created from our client’s demoed cedar decking, this custom outdoor sink also includes a tilt-out recycling area. It's our philosophy: reuse, renew, relive. How'd we do it? Custom Outdoor Kitchen Station

Barn Tin Trees

Made from authentic “right off the barn” tin and reclaimed wood bases, our barn tin trees aren’t just for Christmas. Their rustic design is a great year-round fit for cabin or farmhouse décor.

Harvest Table

A bit of a Frankenstein piece, this harvest table is actually made from materials we found in a few different places. The top is oak from the Eddyville century farm, and the legs are from a different barn outside Mount Pleasant, IA.

Twister Cabinet

Named after the 1984 tornado that took the roof off the Rees house in Sigourney, Iowa. We rescued it 35-years later from the shop, built new feet, barn tin back, salvaged the hardware and veneer medallions, and gave it a fresh coat of paint and wax. It now proudly sits in our canning kitchen.

Blue Sideboard

A smaller version of the red sideboard, this blue version makes a bold statement as a bar, a kitchen island, and many other purposes.

Hairpin Coffee Table

This coffee table added a rustic, yet modern look to our client’s home. Made from reclaimed barn lumber with a natural finish, it pairs well with the matching entry table.

Vintage Cabinet

We found this cabinet near Quincy, IL and gave it a fresh look. We rebuilt the possum belly drawers, added barn tin and chicken wire, and painted it a sunny color; the countertop and breadboard are original.

Dick made a fabulous walnut tabletop for our kitchen out of old, twisted planks. The tabletop is solid and beautifully crafted. It is exactly what I wanted.💗 I would highly recommend Inspired by the Farm to anyone looking for unique, repurposed, and original rustic/farmhouse/industrial/antique furniture and decor. I look forward to some more “finds” in the near future.
