Architectural Antiques for the Garden
by
Kim H
I used architectural antiques for interesting elements when planning the backyard at La Belle Époque. http://www.kimberlyhites.blogspot.com/2012/06/la-belle-epoque-backyard-tour.html
A poly-chromed terra cotta freize from the late 1800s which came from a historic building in Chicago. The six piece panel was tiled into the garden wall in my backyard.
Architectural salvage can add unique features to your home such as these "Old Kentucky" bricks that I found in Louisville and had incorporated on the balcony during construction. These are very special pieces indeed.

That is not only unique, it's completely stunning. Nice to see that a wall doesn't have to be boring - wonderful job!
