Pink Architectural Salvage from my Favorite Shop

Mr. MD and I took a trip to New Hampshire

and that included making a stop at my favorite shabby furniture shop,

Rustique. I was thrilled when I saw the stuff outside the door~

Bridget, the owner, has piles of old shutters and windows,

iron beds, and this time there were some beautiful trim work from 

a Victorian that had suffered a fire.

Could I make a garden trellis out of some of these pieces? 

Bridget held up a heavy piece of window trim over two sections of

columns, all painted in the prettiest pinky lavendar.

Hmm...I think I have another idea.

An iron footboard with a scrolled shape could be very 

cool with my new climbing roses covering it!

My own Arc de Triomphe~

These pieces were soon sitting in the back of Mr. MD's pickup truck.

He just said, "Are you happy honey?"

YES!!!!!!! I am very happy.

Burnt out building pieces and rusty bed parts

 don't ring his bell like they do mine.

This chair almost came home with me, 

but I knew my limits..maybe another time.

Isn't it pretty?

A superb example of cottage furniture,

just right for a small eat in kitchen.

 Bridget has  lots of  cute shelves in her shop too.

Its always a pleasure taking a run up to Rustique.
She writes the blog, The rehab Boutique, based on her shop experiences.
