Rousseau Reclaimed To Be Featured in 

Magnolia TV’s, “In With the Old”

Portland based purveyor of reclaimed lumber and flooring, Rousseau Reclaimed Lumber & Flooring will be featured in an upcoming episode of the Magnolia TV Network’s, “In With the Old” debuting on April 26, 2025 at 1:00 p.m. on the Magnolia Network and streaming on Discovery+ and Max (formerly HBO Max).

The episode titled Hamlet on the Hudson shows the results of the makeover of the Germantown, New York 1910 Hudson Valley farmhouse of entertainment personalities Amanda Pays and Corbin Bernsen that sits on eight acres of farmland dating back to before the Revolutionary War. Rousseau Reclaimed provided flooring that was reclaimed from the roof sheathing of a Northern Maine clothespin factory and beams from an 1800s barn.  Although both have been torn down and their sites redeveloped, the centuries old materials have a new life in the Bernsen’s home.  John Rousseau, who has owned Rousseau Reclaimed for 30 years is one of the region’s foremost experts on turning salvage wood into useful products such as flooring, structural and aesthetic elements for homes and businesses.

The Bernsens have refurbished over 30 homes in New York and California while each of them had successful acting and entertainment careers.  They recognized the value of reaching out to John in providing a unique product for their home.
