A Trip to Sarasota Architectural Salvage

This past Saturday, Sandy, Kate and I made a trip to Sarasota Architectural Salvage, about 40 minutes from St. Petersburg. The company has a lot to see inside as well as outside, and what a treat! There was much metalwork to choose from, and I was thinking that this would be the place to come for an exotic trellis.

This classic scrollwork could be from an original Greek Revival house.

Lots of great doors ...

... and columns, too.

Hey, did someone dismantle a blue temple?

Inside, everywhere one turns reveals something beautiful or strange, or both!

Bins of storefront letters ...

I'm greatly attracted to etched stained glass.

I saw lots of pressed glass,

and Turkish mirrored tiles, too.

Carved panels from Asia ...

... antique grates and brackets ...

... and even some tile that would make my blogging friend Gina,
of Art and Alfalfa, smile!
