The possibilities are endless-and with the right amount of imagination and a slightly mischievous attitude, architectural salvage can pack a delightfully beautiful decorating punch.Find out the answers to common questions such as "How do I use an old stained glass window that isn't the right size?" or "What exactly is the right type of mantel for my home?" Brian Coleman reveals the simple truth to decorating with salvage-embrace the imperfections, as they add a patina of time that is hard to reproduce. This book also includes a foreword by Old House Interiors editor Patricia Poore and contributions from a forum of salvage experts from across the country.Chapters Fine Finishing Touches for your DoorsA Survey of Vintage LightingThe Magic of MantelsThe Secrets of SinksStairs and Staircases Savoir-FaireStained Glass SavvyPlus a comprehensive resource guide
