My husband and I rescued these cabinets from being thrown in the trash. We sanded, stained, added new doors and hardware and modified them to fit our kitchen and installed a new back splash. We got the granite at a wholesale outlet, the sink and faucet on sale at Lowes. The biggest cost was refinishing the wood floor after we discovered it under layers of glue and linoleum. Our kitchen was low cost, lots of labor but worth it! PLEASE VIEW ALL PICS AND GIVE US YOUR COMMENTS...we welcome them! The BEFORE pictures of our kitchen can be viewed under lifetimedvd1 pictures. THANK YOU!

I've been working on my backyard space since 2011, replacing overgrown weeds and invasive ivy, and cycling out found furniture for more sturdy pieces. Over time I've added a small stone wall-enclosed planter, compost bin, cold frame, raised beds, a bench and table I constructed. It's surely a labor of love.

Restoration Resources, Renaissance Interiors, MLA Consultants, Bruce Rosenbaum, and Audio Concepts in Boston collaborated as a Steampunk by Design team and created a Steampunk Home Theater Room at Audio Concepts. We named it the Jules Verne room, Steampunk objects run the gamut from practical and conservative home furnishings to fanciful techno objects. These one of kind pieces creatively integrate old and new while adding a vintage cool vibe to any location. Steampunk is eco-friendly. The goal was to combine the best of old world craftsmanship with
state-of-the-art technology for modern day living. The concept is gaining widespread popularity throughout the residential design field.
Steampunk admirers have an appreciation for the quality, craftsmanship and authenticity of antiques, as well as modern technology and conveniences. Audio and video components have been blended with recycled and repurposed period objects into the overall design scheme of our Steampunked Jules Verne room.

Our little saga started with a cracked tile beside the toilet in our 15 year old upstairs master bath. It wasn’t a bad bath, just a little incorrigible after so long. Imagine our surprise that one little escaped droplet of water a day for 15 years could do such major damage to the substructure under that leaky wax ring. Having to gut the bathroom on a major budjet forces one to think "outside of the Big Box Store". 4 months, and about 100 trips to our local Habitat For Humanity, and we finally have the bath we did not know we were dreaming of: Jacuzzi Tub(with motor $100.00, Americh shower stall base $200.00, low rise Kohler toilet $50.00, Shower and Tub fixtures $125.00 and $86.00, Vanity Medicine Cabinet $30.00, over sink light fixture $10.00. We were then on to Craigslist for the recycled Bidet (never used before Kohler $50.00. Neighbors remodel (freebee and inspiration for the style pedestal sink $0. Rattan Lingerie Cabinet is Goodwill $45.00. Black Chandelier, was dirty brass that I have had no place to hang (it was ugly, so I painted it black, Rustoleum spray $3.99, linen shades on clearance for 3 for $6.99. The only part reused from original bath is the round lighted makeup mirror. The real find was the floor, originally our idea was that the floor was to be new white marble tiles with a stripe of black marble (the black leftover from a downstairs landing. I will say "It pays to watch the garage sales signs". I found a tile setter moving to Arizona. He had the marble tiles at $2.00 a piece, and enough beautiful basket weave tiles to do 3/4s of the floor for $2.50 a sq.ft. (these were $12.25 each sq.ft. for the remaining area They were also the answer to the fear that the marble would be slippery. The only full price piece is the clear glass shower enclosure $800.00 installed. (after checking bids from 8 vendors. We had no plan, the design changed daily with what we found and salvaged. Our handyman (helping nights and weekends was talented and had great ideas, including the curved ceiling soffit above the toilet/bidet area to hide our heating ducts. We were lucky enough to have a 10x4 of unused closet space that we could steal for the bath, or the toilets might have ended up outside. So how do you like my “Suite Sweet” Salvaged Bath?

Built-ins are cabinetry that are built in to the structure of a room so cannot be moved around.I'm taking a great old pine cabinet that was in my grandfather's shed and making it the main component of a built-in wall for my guest bathroom.

Yes that's right! I took a rundown bath in a old mobile and used fencing,a old cast iron tub, corner sink ,old wood stove and lots of instant relatives. Just had fun. Come visit and see what can be done with that old wooden fence.I can honestly say there's,nothing like it.
Hopefully the rest of the place will be a Silk Purse.

Beginnings of master redo. The original color on the walls was just too harsh. I re-painted two of the walls with a metalic gold and the remaining two walls with a darker gold paint. The Fireplace mantel I painted with a Linen white color. I did away with the out-dated wall paper border at top of walls and will be installing crown molding after installing a tray ceiling.

Each time I look in here I will recall all of the fun we had in finding our treasures.A room to me should be about memories and that is what I have here.We added a buffet and changed the fabric on the chairs and found these great salvaged columns.

Welcome to my faux finishing studio inside a restored 110-year-old flannel mill. The painted floor design was inspired by Moroccan tiles in a guest home I worked at this summer in Marrakech.

We enclosed part of the back porch for this laundry room. It was the best location since the washer connections were on the porch. We are restoring a 19th century farmhouse so that explains many of the oddities we deal with.

Renovated dirt patch under a heavy maple cover. Repurposed salvaged bricks create a pathway between rock rimmed narrow beds. Relax on the bench or round patio.

This is our newly built ranch. We used salvaged bricks that came from demolished old building. As you see work is still in a progress so, please don't be judgemental (some input is highly appreciated though. I will be updating exterior pictures as we get things done as well as adding interior spaces.
