One man’s junk is another man’s treasure…….


I’m not sure why but I am really drawn to architectural salvage pieces……which most people consider to be junk and I of course consider to be treasure!
I have been “collecting” for 25+ years so my house is pretty full but somehow I still seem to manage to squeeze more in! My newest find is this salvaged window frame.

It is a quirky piece…..I love the piece of metal in the center and the braces in the corners!

I’m not sure where it will end up but for now it has found a spot in the living room.

    Your new piece is so neat! It doesn't matter where it lands....right now it's perfect.

    I love old architectural pieces too but they seem to often be sooo expensive or not for sale around here.

    I love architectural pieces too. They can be hard to find too! Yours is great. I like the details and chippy paint on it.

    I always enjoy your posts where you share more about your home, Des. It's gorgeous, with the same colors and tranquility that I hope to achieve one day in our little cottage. And the pieces like this salvaged window just add to the beauty.

    Hi Des,
    I am right there with you on the architectural finds. They make my heart beat just a little faster when I find one too.
    Love the history and chippiness. Your window is gorgeous.

    I love pieces like that with the braces still intact. You have the best luck finding these treasures! I'm sure it'll look beautiful wherever it lands in your home. :)

    It's so pretty. I love decorating with salvage but it is pretty hard to find in our area. I love its casual elegance.
