  More  on Our Move -

As we settle into the new location our hours will generally be by appointment only. At the same time, we will be developing a new website showcasing more of our salvaged treasures. In the interim, as always,  if you have any specific pieces you are looking for, or want to recycle or sell, please call us at 617 542 3033.

And fyi, we will also  continue to  rent out props, as well as  rent out our space for photo shoots, and filming, and the private room which formerly was the horse tacking area of the antique barn, will become our new,  unique event venue, Circa that will still be available to rent out for private parties and corporate events, once we get settled in. Also, my antique car collection will be housed in the barn for those of you who enjoy looking at old cars while you also peruse old salvaged elements!





















Our Antique Salvage repurposed in new
 Boston
 restaurant!
 
  Here are some photos of how Julian Bolger, repurposed  salvage  from Restoration Resources  in his  newest restaurant, The Bowery, in Dorchester, MA.  We have worked with him before on other projects, most recently Lucy's Tavern in Dorchester. 























His latest venture is also in Lower Mills, Dorchester at the site of the former restaurant Esters.  








     













Above is a cast iron piano sound board that actually came from the inside of a piano (where the strings are attached) and will be repurposed as decorative   wall art/a simple sculpture so to speak at the entrance to the new restaurant. 

He purchased a number of items including light fixtures, some ornamental plaster, some old sewing machines, a pair of doors with stained glass, some decorative iron work, and also items for the outdoor patio- see photos below.
The restaurant is open now and we recommend you give it a try and check out our how salvaged material can be repurposed in a restaurant or a home. Tell Julian that Bill from Restoration Resources sent you!


Wooden Antique Double Door repurposed inside the foyer.

The transom window above the entrance to the outside patio was originally above the door in the pic to the left that is now that is inside the foyer. He separated them. 






Antique salvaged tin pediment that originally was over a door frame and a mirror was added.


Antique sewing machine used as decor near ledge of the dining booths.

Antique podium from an old church in Roxbury.

Decorative iron piece known as a summer screen salvaged from a Back Bay estate. The summer screen is surrounded by salvaged Subway tile from an 1880 Brownstone in the Back Bay. 

This is a salvaged library cart from Harvard University.

Salvaged wooden spoked wagon wheel from a picker in Vermont.


 













Note this plaster piece that was formerly on top of a fireplace that came from Chestnut Hill, MA circa 1910.  Julian decided to embed it into a wall as a decorative accent and created a plaster wall around it which you can see through the booths! 

Legend, Peter Wolf into salvaged antiques... 
(I don't mean me!)

He and his friend Nora are re-designing with salvage 

Peter Wolf, musician and lead singer for the Boston based, J. Geils Band, rocks it with salvage. Last week rock legend Peter Wolf and his friend Nora stopped in the store. He is in the process of moving and was looking for some salvaged items as statement pieces for his new place. They purchased a wood fireplace mantel and plan to have it refinished as part of their new decor. They were also looking at some chandeliers and will be back to look for more things at our new location as their project progresses. 

Also fyi, for those of you who have been in the store before and asked about the panel rooms (seen in the background of the photo), the owner of the rooms who has been storing them with us decided to finally sell them to an institution that appreciates the craftsmanship, quality and exquisite detail of these gorgeous pieces!
