My youngest daughter, Stephanie
and her husband Noah just bought
a cottage home that they
are going to redo and decorate
in a vintage cottage style ~
We went to the coolest store in
Dallas today called
Discount Home Warehouse Architectural Salvage ~
They go into old homes and salvage all of the
really amazing old things and then
sell them at their huge shop ~
I am thinking that would be the
Steph & Noah want to replace all of the
interior doors with old vintage chippy doors ~
This is the "door room" ~
There were some really neat old
pillars and columns but they
needed to find a vintage pedestal sink ~
They ended up with the one that Stephanie
is trying in the 2nd picture ~
Noah truly needs to be an
American Picker because he
rocks at it!!
Decisions .... decisions ...
They have a bunch of clawfoot tubs, mantels
for amazing prices, tons of old metal,
wood shutters for $10 each!!
Once again these are crummy pictures
with my Iphone ~ I am going to
start bringing my camera with me
on these adventures ~
Dallas has some really fun places to
explore ~ We went to some wonderful
antique shops too but they were kind
of pricey ~
Chat soon!!

Wow this place looks amazing!! This is the kind of place that my husband and I could spend hours just looking around. I wish there was a store like that close to us!
I love architectural salvage. Those chippy tins really caught my eye. I have a friend with an enormous warehouse, and my heart races everytime I go there.
Oh, I would just LOVE it if we had something like this here! I'd be in HEAVEN!!!!!
xxoo
What a fun place and where is it as I would love to take a lil Field Trip!!!

Yes, it does! We don't have any shops like that here but whenever we get away we always go...rows and rows of cool stuff...It sounds like you are having so much fun with your girl and her guy!

Wow, you are so lucky to have a place like that there. We have them in Ontario, Canada too but not like that. I love the oval tub against the wall. I hope you show us what everything looks like when it is done.
OH MY!!! I think I could of spent ALL day in there...and would certainly have a VERY hard time not buying up the whole store... : ) I don't know if I could really make a living going into old structures and salvaging old material...because I would want to keep it ALL to myself...Selfish...I know.. : )
I got your email...thank you so much..
Have a wonderful week...
Blessings

That look's like a cool place to shop for some goodies! Thanks for sharing...........TALLULAH'S
What a great place, Lori! I see so many fantastic pieces. Especially the old metal pieces and the pretty bath tubs caught my eye. It's wonderful that such a cute young couple is going to use such vintage elements in their home. I guess Steph got her great taste from her Mom :-).

gaa, I gotta go there, thanks for sharing

What an awesome salvage store! We have one close by and I just go and drool. All the doors make my heart go pitter patter! But I love just looking at all of it. The place here has some really handsome pieces...would love to hear their stories!
Have a wonderful Thursday!

Wow! What a great place! We should all be so lucky to live close to a place like that!~Hugs, Patti
What a cool place Lori!! I would love to scrounge around in there for hours!!
We had a similar place near us but they had a big fire and never opened again :-(
I hope your daughter finds just the right pieces for her remodel!!
Hugs & Smiles,
Lynn
Lori, that does look like a cool place. Do you remember roughly how much the mantle's were? Thanks for letting us know. Have a great Thursday, T
I so wish there was a salvage spot like that in my neck of the woods. So much great stuff to look at. Thanks for sharing!
I have shopped there before - it's great! I love it when younger folks love the old stuff - fun!
Wow! Would love to go to this place!!! So darn cool! Thanks Linda
What a wonderful outing. And doesn't it just make your heart proud when your children understand 'vintage'?
There is also a place in Ft. Worth called Old Home Supply that is great too!
I think I'm going to have to move to Dallas because I love that store, no such thing near where I live.

Wow. Cool place. Better than "Re-store" (sells used stuff for cheap then gives money to Habitat- if you don't know.)...Lori, you do not look old enough to have a married daughter! The two of you must look more like sisters than mother and daughter!
xo, Cheryl
Just found your blog- I love that place! Just bought some doors there and plan on making a daybed out of them. I Love repurposing!
Best of luck to your daughter's remodeling...

Oh man, that looks like so much fun...! What a great plan to switch out all the doors with chippy old doors. I have hollow core doors and i hate them so bad..

Hi Lori, thanks for visiting me.
My daughter lives in Dallas, so I will tell her about the salvage.
We both know that big antique mall and when I am there I go visit. Your ideas are very nice , aloha Lilla
PS I will be in Houston teaching at Quilt festival, come see me.
Great stuff! I'm impressed that they seem so young yet so focused on what they need/want. Good job!
Did you buy anything?
I love that place. I would love to tag along.
What a fabulous place!!
Glad you had fun and they are a cute couple!!
Oh my goodness could I have fun there! I just eat up architectural salvage!! It's delish! *winks* What all did your DD and SIL come home with? Vanna
Lori, Your pictures are just fine, looks like a great place. wish ours was that nice... love the old doors

OMGosh I am originally from Dallas but moved to NC 7 years ago. We go back every January to visit my family & this place is on my list to visit for next year! I have never heard of this place before & I am so glad you shared it. It looks absolutely amazing! Good luck to your daughter and son-in-law!
