Salvage Yard x
A few months ago Caitlyn Moran, writer for the Sunday Times, wrote an article on the deficits of money. She decided that once she had money she always chose the easy option..got an Event, need a dress? Buy it. But without it she was forced to be creative – rumble through wardrobe, find something, get sewing machine out. Go to Event as the new Lady Godiva. Her conclusion was that her brain was far better and more inventive in her desperate youth than it is today…and that the ability to adapt and alter is something we need to treasure and nurture.
New bedside tables perhaps?
A rather dramatic floor lamp?
A unique piece of Art…
Just because..
Fur coat, no knickers in the downstairs toilet?
Stunning.
A kitchen..or a new industrial office?
A new headboard?
Life is really what you want to see.

Oh, so very true! Wish I could get my hands on a few of those iron gates at the end…
Love the large letters, I want to go to this magic place x
Nothing more satisfying than finding hidden treasure, great post x
Let’s be creative and let’s create glorious items by recycling old stuff ! xxxxx
Love, love, LOVE salvage yards!!! I’ve kind of had to stop myself from going until I finish a few of the “projects” I bought things hoping to do…
Reblogged this on The Pretty Canary.
Love it, so many beautiful things, the iron gates, mmm!! Salvage yards, skips, other people’s junk, make me creatively high!!
Just looking at salvage yards makes me drool. I want the Winston Churchill banner!
I love architectural salvage yards. When my parent’s built a house we rummaged for doors, door knobs, moldings, stained glass windows, etc. It made the new home less austere and much more welcoming. Even the screen door that slams when you walk in the house bought to remind my Mother of her childhood.
Love a bit of scrappage me xx
This is discussed often in our house – big pay check, therefore let’s hemorrhage cash. Why? that is always the question. It is good to be inventive/ creative. Today I shall go forth with your philosophy – Life is really what you want to see. Kxx
Stunning and inspiring .
I really love the 2nd photo! Makes me dream.
Ah, reminds me of Drummonds in Hindhead (before they before they moved to Petworth) – all the old floors and spiral staircases, doors and windows…
I love shops like this 🙂 You can find real jewels 🙂
