Publisher's Note Even as a building gets renovated or demolished, it yields up a cache of authentic, irreplaceable, and sometimes historic architectural detailing. Out from the wreckage come one-of-kind, ornate, or weathered doorknobs, flooring, mantels, windows, and doors. Rescue these treasures and make them part of your home in inventive and unexpected ways. 45 projects, developed by the finest craftspeople, focus on transforming your find--not using the salvaged doors to replace ones that are already there, but giving them a whole new function. First, you'll obtain tips on how to locate and pick out the best of these materials, either from a site or from a store, and on crafting with wood, metal, glass, and mirrors. Then, begin your magical handiwork with such interest-catchers as a Cabinet Door Picture Frame, Iron Rail Flowerpot Station, Floor of Yore Coffee Table, Recycled Bar, Porch Baluster Side Table, Bread Board Shutter Shelf, and Funky Miscellany. Items this original are absolutely priceless!
