What’s the "Green" thing to do with my short doors? I replaced the doors with new. How to dispose properly?

Posted by admin on April 19th, 2013 and filed under architectural salvage | 2 Comments »

After doing a remodel of the floors from carpet to a laminant, we noticed the doors were short. So we replaced the doors since we didn’t find a way to extend the doors that looked nice in our house. Now we have these doors to throw away or resell. But what is the proper way to dispose of doors? Is there a company that reclaims interior doors for resale? I feel bad adding to the door waste footprint. Thanks~

Architectural salvage and re-use centers are becoming pretty common. It depends on where you live. There’s the Rebuilding Center in Portland, Oregon; Urban Ore in Berkeley, California. The age and sturdiness of the doors dictates how useful they’ll be to someone, but as a last resort, you can always post them on the free stuff page on Craigslist (with pictures and measurements).

whats the best way to re-enamel a 1850′s pedestle basin? can i do it myself?

Posted by admin on April 17th, 2013 and filed under architectural salvage | 3 Comments »

i have a 1950′s pale green pedestle and basin, its in mint condition but its GREEN!! i want to re-enamel it in white. should i have it proffessionaly done or can i do it myself?

I’ll presume here, that this fixture is porcelain coated. Yes, it can be done and, yes, you need a professional. A professional ceramist to be exact. It’s a big job too…if you can even find someone willing to do it.
I personally would look for a white replacement. These things almost always came in green, pink and white and, as it’s a 1950′s piece, it should not be too difficult to find. Check architectural salvage operations.
BTW, a green sink is worth 4 or 5 white ones…

What is a value of a 84" x 84" antique stained glass window?

Posted by admin on April 5th, 2013 and filed under architectural salvage | 2 Comments »

This is a late 1800"s window with raised or layered glass. Picture of Christ in the garden. It is in excellent condition having been reframed & moved to inside with electric back lighting.

is the picture of Christ leaded…that is outlined. Or is it painted on the glass. would also depend on the original location. Did you get it from a religious building??? Take it or a picture of to your local architectural salvage….They might even have a consignment program. Or watch that goofy show Antique Roadshow….good luck.
