Are you looking for something special for your home that's a little different than the things you can pick up at the mall? Try visiting an architectural salvage yard. Each shopping trip will bring you a different result.  

Some of the items available include: old doors, windows, hardware, ironwork, mantle pieces, and sometimes even furniture.  Use your imagination and there are countless ways to re-purpose these beauties to turn them into something fantastic! I try to go in with an idea of what I'm looking for, but often leave with something unexpected.
