I picked up some 'barn wood' from a turn of the century barn near Chas. SC. I've attached a picture of how it looked when I brought it home. My wife's thoughts were the monkey grass below the wood was worth more than the wood. Anyway, I took inspiration from the Taunton bed book, the shaker bed, with some modifications. Primary wood is the reclaimed pine, secondary wood poplar. Finish is Watco danish oil and wax. Also, with some of the 'less desirable' barn wood that I picked up I outfitted a closet with some shelves. Inspiration and hardware came from John Louise Homes.
