Architectural
Salvage & Antiques

Architectural salvage is all about saving and reusing
unique bits and pieces of the past--whether from old
buildings, businesses, or homes--and preserving them as
beautiful reminders of the talent and artistry of
yesteryear. Extraordinary Interiors: Decorating
with Salvage & Antiques shows how architectural
elements and antiques--such as a 200-year-old solid-oak
door, an Arts & Crafts fireplace mantel, a Victorian
stained-glass window, or an Art Deco lamp--can impart
character and heritage to any home, even if you never
got around to buying that perfectly restored historic
home of your dreams. See how vintage sinks, hardware,
and lighting are perfectly blended into new
environments, giving the items a new lease on life, and
in the process, preserving them for future generations
to enjoy.
With referrals from the Olde Good Things staff, the
author has documented an exquisite array of homes in
locations across the country.
