Well, the backyard is a project area at the moment, but the trellis is up and done. Besides some painting and maybe some salvaged copper insets. With no money spent and all salvaged materials from a home that was torn down. I'm quite happy with the result

Probably my favorite bathroom in the world. That just happens to be neighbors that have done an amazing job restoring A Gothic treasure back to beyond perfection.

Sometimes the chandeliers decided to sway in the house.....even when no air is moving. Life in a 140 year old home. I love it though!

Moments like this are truly the reason that I have set a goal of using at least 80% recycled or salvaged material within the restoration of my home excluding obviously new wiring and Plumbing. I was gifted a one gallon size bag of Antique Hardware from a storefront here in Danville Virginia that has been remodeled. And was quite surprised at the details that were hidden under Decades of paint.
