We are often asked "where do you get your architectural salvage materials like lumber, windows, leaded glass etc.?".

Typically we hear about architectural salvage like an old building or barn planned for demolition. We submit a bid to remove the structure instead, keeping careful note of the parts and how they fit together. The architectural salvage material comes into our antique barn in Kennebunk, Maine, is inventoried and resold as architectural artifacts. In some cases we take architectural salvage lumber from the walls or floors and create new pieces, a process we call regeneration.

Our expert crafts-people take architectural salvage lumber from floors or walls, antique wood paneling and other architectural salvage and artifacts and create new decorative pieces. The beauty and timelessness of antique wood brings warmth and character to new and old homes alike. Some ideas from our staff:

• a garden playhouse or tool shed can add character to any yard
• bookends or shelf brackets made from old exterior trim parts
• a garden trellis from an old window frame without glass
• a headboard crafted from old doors
• a screen porch built from a Victorian portico
• shadowboxes crafted from old barn-board with clock parts, doorknobs or old keys

Pictured above are a few examples of our work. Most were built to order.
