One of the features that make this train caboose tiny house stand out is the use of reclaimed wood on the ceilings.

The weathered and aged patina of the reclaimed wood adds so much to the appeal of this train caboose converted into a tiny house. Using reclaimed wood is a growing trend these days for new home designs and wood construction projects. All across the country, you'll find private contractors and builders who have begun renovating homes and public spaces with wood reclaimed from old barns, factories, houses, and commercial buildings. Whether you are building a new tiny house or renovating a rustic log cabin, reclaimed wood can add the character that you want.

You might choose to use a reclaimed barn wood accent wall in a room in your tiny house or use reclaimed for the beams.

Reclaimed wood comes in a range of shapes, color tones, and sizes. There is nothing that can compare to an authentic piece of reclaimed wood, it has a unique story to tell and a look all its own. You can choose to get your reclaimed wood from a place that sources and finishes it for you, or you can go about getting the reclaimed wood from local sources and finishing it yourself. Regardless of the source of your reclaimed wood, there are a few tips for using this type of wood.

If you use reclaimed barn wood, it may have been in the elements for 100 years or more.

The reclaimed wood may be covered in dirt, dead bugs, amongst other things. Because of this, you will need to clean it. Start by using a stiff nylon bristle brush and give the wood a brisk rub down. This will help get rid of any loose dirt. Follow this up with a quick spray with an air hose to clean off the finer particles of dirt. Some people like to clean the reclaimed wood with a high-pressure water sprayer, but you have to be careful, or you may risk damaging the wood.
