Here are some pictures from when Travis took me to the salvage yard over the weekend to look for stuff for our bathroom remodel. I was looking forward to seeing the rows of colored toilets all lined up but they had them covered with trash bags because of all the rain we've been having. Bummer! But it was still fun to look at all the colored porcelain. Is that too lame? I feel like you guys will understand.
I wanted to find a bathroom cabinet and too bad this one was so rusty. I like the awnings too! We have metal awnings on our windows and I have talked about painting them. Maybe we'll do it this year.
I liked looking at all the beautiful mantles too! If I had space, I would love one in my kitchen/dining room. I have seen cutes ones where they put cookbooks in the whole where the fire would go and just use it like a shelf.
My dad's house has the exact same awnings as that white one with the red/brown trim. His had brown trim, but have been painted all white now.
ReplyDeletemine are all white now, but i think im' getting tempted to paint some stripes!
DeleteHey Rae, is that Hailey salvage? Funnily enough, I was just googling Nashville salvage places...we got the Tudor house and I need a sink! Great pictures...salvage is totally the way to go. I salvaged a farmhouse sink and clawfoot tub when I built a home before I moved to Nashville and I got so many compliments on them. I brought the sink home in a Toyota Echo, and it weighed so much it dropped that little bitty car a couple of inches...geekiest low rider ever!
ReplyDeleteyes that's it! I'm so happy you got the house!
Deletei know that travis asked about a price on a sink there once (it was a double, porcelain covered cast iron one) and they said 75 bucks. we ended up finding one at the habitat restore for 25 dollars though! amazing!
I'm happy our tub (that i LOVE ) is a cast iron one so my contractor was like "no PLEASE keep that one, it will be a pain to take out!"
If that's the same place I'm thinking of in north Nash, we have been there too. It's fun digging through all of their junk! We found a few items when we went, but the lady priced them too high and we didn't end up buying anything. But I'm sure there are deals to be had. :)
ReplyDeleteit is the place off dickerson road! we didnt' ask for any prices because we didn't see anything we actually needed (though I saw many things i loved!)
DeleteLove that crazy dirty place! That mint sink wants me to hoard it. I hear it telling me so.
ReplyDeletei wonder if there was a mint toilet to match. i was SO bummed that they were covered up!
DeleteI love that metal awning..I may have snagged that (where to put it tho). I just had a guy come over to get a quote on our bathroom...waiting to hear back from him. So want to get that project started!

ReplyDeletei can't wait to see what you do with the bathroom!
DeleteThis place is amazing! It looks like you could spend days there and find so many treasures.
ReplyDeleteLeave it to you to post pictures of pastel bathroom fixtures & make me swoon. What a heavenly place, I've seen nothing like it here in California. & the red trim on that aluminum awning is to die for!
ReplyDeleteWhich salvage yard did you go to? It looks magical! I now want a yellow tub! You'd never know when it was dirty though . Can't decide if that's a pro or con
ReplyDeletehaha, does your tub turn YELLOW when it's dirty? it was hailey's salvage, it is off dickerson, near charlie bobs. if you haven't been to charlie bobs before, you REALLY need to go!
DeleteYou could always just have plain porcelain refinished in a color you liked if you don't fine anything? That's what I was told when I got my tub refinished anyway.
ReplyDeleteThat place looks *amazing*!! That's my idea of a good day- picking through buildings and piles of old stuff! ;)
