Fun outing - Architectural salvage

On a cold day in Chicago, we were looking for something fun and different to do.  I had seen architectural salvage places on various HGTV or DIY network shows, but I had never been to one.  I went on Yelp and looked it up.  There were a few options.  We went to Architectural Artifacts.  Wow....SO fun.  We walked around for a couple of hours.  Your mind just goes wild in a place like this.

Here are a few of the sights -

This is a room of doors.  There are many of these rooms.  As you can see here, there is every kind of door you can image.

 Here is a room of fireplace mantels.  Look on the left of this picture.  That is a gorgeous mosaic mantel. Again, many rooms of mantels as well.

This was one of my husband's favorite pieces.  This is a clock face, like from a old building, turned into a huge dining table. You can see the 12 o'clock roman numeral at the bottom of the picture frame.  SO cool!!!
