Save the Good Stuff

Exciting new piece in the shop! This lovely beveled glass window is from the historic Menger Hotel in San Antonio.

Opened in 1859 beside the Alamo the has hosted presidents, military leaders and countless travelers including Theodore Roosevelt who recruited volunteers for the rough riders there in 1898.

It's also considered one of Texas's most haunted hotels 👻

Do you dare to bring home this jewel box? DM for size and price.

These aren't just old columns! Salvaged from a 1920s Austin home. They may actually be older than the house itself.

From their composition material to their Roman composite capitals. These columns tell the story that stretches from the ancient world to present-day, Texas.

One of the reasons we love architectural salvage is that every piece carries clues about where it came from, who made it and why it mattered.

This was our first formal church salvage and we couldn't have been happier with the project. 🎉 Thank you to the team and congregation for letting us save all these beautiful pieces.

Come visit our shop to see these impress cross beams in person!

New flooring alert! 🪵 We salvaged these floors from an old church here in Austin. We can't wait to share the rest of the job, but we wanted to shine a light on the flooring in particular and share all the history we uncovered behind this old growth wood.

A fun fact we discovered along the way: the recent Oscar-winning film Sinners used the Bogalusa train station as a filming location.

We're still closed today but we made a very casual, very demure, and definitely not planned video about our current favorite pieces in the shop. Have a great weekend 👋👋

Happy Thursday, Austin 🥳

☔A little rain can't keep this team away!

This home was an early 1900 build with a 1960s update. Don’t worry this beautiful house isn’t going anywhere, it is being restored and adapted for modern living. A special thanks to the owners for giving us the opportunity to come in and help save some of the good stuff in the process!

Come visit us today! 🪟🚪
