The great room showcases some of the abundant wood species used in the house, including the Doug- las fir used for the beams and trusses, the reclaimed oak on the floors, ceilings, newels, and stair treads, and the gray barn board on the stairway walls. The barn board and reclaimed wood, which were also used for cabinets, vanities, and accent walls throughout the house, come from Longleaf Lumber in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The bridge connects two upper bedrooms.
