I love these treasures! They lend such a unique character to the home. I am now wondering how these were reused. The windows are such cool photo frames too, right?
I’m sure there are some interesting projects you could do with old windows and doors. They are treasures.
I love those solid real wood doors.
Yes. We have them in our home. The old ones are really nice.
The lack of such is one big disadvantage of buying a newer vintage home. Sigh.
True and nobody ever things to build a doorway the same size as one of these older doors.
Doors and windows; old stories to tell. 🍃🌸
If they could only speak.
Very cool Chris! My aunt used old doors and windows as garden pieces in her backyard landscape. Turned out really nice. I love this image you created.
That’s interesting about your aunt’s gardens. I’ll have to search on ideas like that because we have some old things around with which we could possible do something similar. Thanks for the comment AND the great idea, Sandra. Have a great day.
New doesn’t necessarily mean better and these days I have such an appreciation for those things that were built to last back in the day. Lovely photo!
Thank you. Yes, I love some classic old things. They were solidly built.
now you teasing, what a great find.
I knew this would get you going. Have a great weekend!
I looked at this and thought…now what could I re-purpose that door for?
Same here. We have some old doors in our home but we have an old home with some old time sized door frames.
lovely geometry and textures!!
Thank you, Alex!
Love the composition and the shadows.
Thank you so much.
Recycling or re-purposing is good and I am glad that you have such shops that do this. Over here with space constraints, not a lot of re-purposing is done and people actually import such items from overseas to re-purpose them for their properties as they like a hint of nostalgia. Plus they pay a bomb for it with the designer in charge of making their property look rustic!
We have people who pay top dollar for rustic also. Tat’s the reason that shops like this hold onto old doors and such. I wonder how the cost of this compares to a new door.
For us here, a rustic old door with scratches and all cost a few times more than a brand new door. The price for design and rustic feel. I think your rustic scarecrow will fetch a good price here once the interior designer is done with placing it🤣
Hmmm, maybe I should consider exporting him.
Noooo….Scarecrow is uniquely yours😄🤗🤗
You’d never get him away from my wife.
👍👏👏🤣
Architectural salvage to me means character. Nice ones. 🙂
I agree. I like a home with character.
We live in a 100 year old house…old doors and still some old windows always happy we have forced air 💫🤓☺️
Our house is also old. We’ve upgraded the windows but the interior doors are original. I love them.
Yes they’re wood 💪☺️
Reblogged this on Art, Photography and Poetry.
Thank you so much!
My pleasure. Great image.
Wonderful!
This post is really amazing. this is lovely textures and geometric.
thanks for sharing.
Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Wonderful shot, Chris! I love the overlapping lines and angles and different textures in this one. Also this makes me want to refurbish the frame and door myself! 😂
