Yesterday Adam and I went to gather boulders from my parent’s and neighbor’s (we got permission) property – to bring a little bit of my childhood back to Chicago.

Beautiful doors of all shapes, sizes and aged with character are labeled by project locations for easy coordination.

Today in the rain Adam and I trucked down to 47th and Kedzie to visit the newly opened Rebuilding Exchange. We were pleased to meet Megan, who chose to leave Salvage One in order to devote her time with this new project. She and a handful of young modern thinkers were unloading a new shipment from a demolition salvage in which we happily scoured.

Personally I fell in love with a pair of round windows (not shown) but Adam encouraged some restraint.

Wood building materials salvaged from sustainable demoltion practices range from oak flooring, moulding and raw lumber.

Ironically I forgot to bring our door dimensions, but we scored a pair of red industrial lights for only $25.
