Don't have an old house with great architectural details? Don't despair - architectural salvage to the rescue! Here in Chattanooga we have a few great resources for finding salvage - The Architectural Exchange and Estate of Confusion. Either place has a great selection of old mantels, clawfoot tubs, lighting fixtures, doors and hardware.
Here are some great ways to incorporate architectural salvage in your home -

No working fireplace required! This salvaged mantel is just propped against the wall in its gloriously timeworn finish!
I love a great antique chandelier! (be sure to have the wiring check out by a professional!)
Gorgeous antique doors!
Architectural salvage as accessories....

But my favorite place for architectural salvage is in the bathroom ...

Oh, I agree!! We have a store called Preservation Station here in Nashville -- that carries these salvaged pieces!
Love it - used it all over my last house. Not so much in my current home but now you've got me thinking...
I just love mixing the old with the new! Here's another post that makes me wish I was in Chattanooga! We have some good salvage places here as well, but just like dinner, it's always more fun to go to someone else's house!
Have a great week, KIM!
In love!!! This goes to show that a commitment to sustainability can include high style! great post.
Yes, I will take one of each of those claw foot tubs and that huge round salvaged mirror. I love it.
GREAT inspirations, all!
This is a post for the idea files,
for sure.
And yes, to start the day in a bath like that would be DIVINE!
Happy Week!

These are so gorgeous! LOVE those bathrooms! And I love the fireplace mantles, that is such a cool idea Kim! You are awesome!
Love the idea of salvaging things!! And I die over that herringbone floor in the bathroom with the black tub!! Thanks so much for visiting my blog and leaving a comment, I really appreciate it!

Couldn't agree more! What a great way to add some charm and personality to a space. That first chandelier is so beautiful! Great post!
Oh yes...I adore the old beautiful doors and floors....The bathrooms are so stunning and I would take all of them...Stunning post my lovely:)
Kisses and enjoy your day!
I love architectural pieces with a sense of history. There is a great salvage yard in my area, however, the prices are sky high. I still enjoy going to look.
I would LOVE to have antique doors like the ones you posted!
They just don't make stuff like this anymore. So great. I'm such a history nut, I look at those doors and I think who walked through here?
I too love seeing a mix of old and new. It's fun to seek out old treasures and reinvent them in a way that may not have been intended for them in the first place.
