    11 Clever Ways to Use Salvaged Building Materials in Your Home




     You’re one-of-a-kind, and so is your home. So next time you’re remodeling and improving, don’t settle for ordinary — go for the extraordinary. Salvaged building materials have unique character that’s unmatched by new products. Throw in the cost savings (with prices 50%-75% less than their modern counterparts) and sustainability (reusing old stuff keeps it out of landfills), and you’ve got bargains that are good for the environment. Check our slide show for imaginative ways to put salvage to use in your home.


    The Upcycled Kitchen
    A charming Vancouver, B.C., kitchen features many salvaged items that are upcycled — not simply reused, but given a better life than they had before. The upper cabinets are old wooden lockers from a warehouse. Cabinet hardware comes from ReStore. The pendant lights are discarded flower pots adapted to a track light system.





    A Price-Is-Right Door
    Bought at a garage sale for $2, a 12-pane, true-divided-light door was a bargain compared to the $1,000-and-up cost of a similarly styled new door. However, reconditioning old doors and trimming them to fit takes time. Take note: Older doors don’t feature insulated glass. A reclaimed glass doorknob ($5-$20) compliments this one-of-a-kind entry.





    Six Feet of History
    Reclaimed wood is full of character and history. This rugged fireplace mantel is a hand-hewn chestnut timber from an 1800s barn. Chestnut, once plentiful, is now rare. Reclaimed chestnut is about $10 per board foot; this mantel was $500. Buying reclaimed lumber reduces logging pressure on existing forests; look for regional suppliers to reduce your shipping costs.
     
     
     
    Sweet Sink
    This 1940s-era, cast-iron drainboard sink was discovered on Craigslist — a good place to hunt for reclaimed materials, especially if there aren’t any salvage yards in your area. The home owners scored this kitchen classic for $75 (new, they’re $500 and up). Notice how the sink backsplash barely fits under the window trim? Always measure carefully before you buy!





    Light-Headed Remodel
    Stained-glass windows are some of the more popular salvaged building materials. Finding a matched set is a bonus: This entry porch was designed around this colorful trio. Prices range from $100 to $2,500, and repairing windows adds to the cost. To improve efficiency, add insulated glass panels ($10-$15 per sq. ft.) to the outside of the stained glass.





                                       
    No Boring Doors Allowed

    This bathroom door was salvaged from a sheep barn in New Hampshire. Using sliding barn door hardware ($100) meant the door didn’t have to be cut to fit the opening. Shopping for salvaged materials takes diligence — keep checking back with suppliers until you find just what you’re looking for.





    Hot Stuff
    You might not get a bargain when you opt for a restored vintage stove, but you’ll get a fully functional kitchen appliance that’ll knock your socks off every day. Prices for a beauty such as this 1955 O’Keefe & Merritt gas range are $4,000 to $8,000 — and you pick the color. Upgrades include new wiring and ceramic insulation for top efficiency.
     
     
     
    The Value of Vintage
    When shopping for salvaged building materials, keep an eye out for smaller items tucked away on shelves and bins. A one-of-a-kind gem, such as this antique door knocker, might not have much value to anyone else, but it can be the perfect expression of your personality and interests. A rusty patina adds charm.





    Rare Art
    Older ceramic tiles are pieces of history that reflect the era when they were made. These fireplace surround tiles were hand-painted in the 18th century. Antique tiles are expensive, ranging from $25 to $250 for a single, 5-by-5-inch tile. Many are broken during salvage operations, which contributes to their scarcity — and value.
     
     
     
    Clearly a Bargain
    Windows for this homemade backyard greenhouse were picked up from a curbside trash heap and at a yard sale for $3. Salvage yards usually have plenty of old windows that are single-pane and in need of repair, but will work fine for greenhouse glass. Check local property zoning laws before you build.
     
     
     
    Viva la Valise!
    Old thrift-store luggage is common. The question is, what do you do with it? One answer: A medicine cabinet. With its front cut out to frame a mirror and a few shelves attached to the inside, this old suitcase was transformed into a functional — and unique — piece of bathroom storage. Be sure to hang it so everyone can see the hinges, clasps, and handle!

    Great recipe for the weekend: Baked Meatball Parmigiana

    Baked Meatball Parmigiana


    Baked Meatball Parmigiana Ingredients:

    • 1 1/2 pounds meatloaf mix (beef, pork, veal combo)
    • 4 cloves garlic-roughly chopped, not minced
    • a handful of chopped parsley
    • 1 cup bread crumbs (I used Schar gluten free brand)
    • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (not grated) (sometimes I use grated asiago cheese)
    • 2 eggs
    • salt to taste
    • Sauce of your choice (approx two 24-oz jars)
    • Mozzarella cheese to top it off with!
    Mix all of the above meatball ingredients and form your meatballs-not too large.  Pour 1-2 Tablespoons oil on a baking stone or pan with sides and bake at 400 for 20 minutes.  Lower oven to 375.

    Pour some sauce in the bottom of your dish(es).  I used a ceramic dish pictured above or you could use one 9×13.  Lay meatballs on top of the sauce.  Cover with more sauce and dress the top up with lots of mozzarella!  It should be covered with cheese!!!  Cover with foil and bake for 20 mins.  Remove foil and bake an additional 20 mins or until meatballs are cooked through and cheese is browning. For the last 4 minutes I raised the oven temp to 400 to help the browning.

    Kitchen Fires: How to Prevent and Put out the Flames

    Plumbing Workaround
    An assortment of pipes and valves is the bane of under-sink space. To the rescue: A custom-made drawer ($150-$300) with carefully planned indentations and drawer depths that allow for drain pipes and water purifiers. Because it’s a drawer, everything pulls out and is right at your fingertips.



    Roll-Out Organizer
    This two-tiered, chrome-plated steel shelf ($75) is made specifically for under-sink installation. The shelf glides out on rollers, and the offset configuration is designed to avoid drain pipes and disposals. Recess the shelf back a couple of inches so you can put hooks on the inside of the door for hanging gloves and scrub brushes.
     
     
    The Right Moves
    This under-sink venue has the right stuff: An inexpensive snap-together organizer ($16) for supplies, and a waterproof shelf liner to keep drips from becoming stains. Also, the inside of the cabinet is painted white — the better to see what’s going on down there! There’s plenty of space for two garbage bins — one for trash and one for recycling.
     
     
    Hooked On Organization
    Over-the-door clothes hooks ($6) keep dish towels high and dry, out of sight, and close at hand (you might already have one or two hooks around the house that you can repurpose!) If you have kids, be sure to add child-proof locks on cabinet doors, especially under-sink cabs where cleaning solutions are stored.
     
     
    Hang ‘Em High
    Spray bottles have built-in hooks — their triggers — that you can use to store them. This clever homeowner has added an inexpensive tension rod that she uses to store spray bottles, suspending them from their triggers and taking advantage of the upper part of the cabinet.
     
     
    Shelf-Liner: Your Cabinet’s BFF
    Your under-sink cabinet space sees a lot of abuse — trash bins shoved in and out, spills, and drippy cleaners. Protect it with a waterproof, wipe-able shelf liner:
    • Peel-and-stick vinyl is easy to cut around pipes and comes in colors and faux stainless steel.
    • Leftover laminate pieces can be found at a countertop shop.
    • Epoxy floor paint is tough and long-lasting.
    • Real stainless steel liner pans can be custom-made; a 22-by-34-inch pan is $264.
    Easy Does It
    Low-cost ($16-$26) under-sink storage shelving kits let you configure a solution that meets your needs. Kit parts snap together or assemble with simple tools, so you can go from messy to marvelous in a matter of minutes. Kits include plastic shelves and rust-resistant supports.
     
                                       
    A Good Turn
    Put all your cleaning supplies right at your fingertips with a lazy-Susan turntable. An inexpensive plastic version ($10 for a 10-inch turntable) is waterproof and has a lip to prevent drips.

    Laundry 101: How to Clean Your Washing Machine

    Laundry 101:
    How to Clean Your Washing Machine No. 113 by Emily Fazio on April 30, 2013 Learn It 56Share Somewhere along the way, I failed to pick up on the fact that cleaning your washing machine should be done with some regularity—not, like, never. I figured that the soap in the detergents kept it squeaky clean, and why wouldn’t anyone? Oops. The thing is, soap residue and minerals in commonly used detergents are apt to build up in the washing machine, and over time, you might notice that your clothes just don’t seem to get as clean as they used to. My washer had just started to feel icky. And here I was just thinking that maybe I had been cramming too many garments in the same load and not letting the rinse cycle perform as efficiently. I searched around and found about as many different approaches for cleaning a top-loading washer, but one tutorial, a two-step approach, seemed easy, inexpensive and do-able.

    a top-loading washing machine being cleaned

    Getting your laundry back on track starts with just two items*: • 1 quart of bleach (many tutorials went without the bleach step, if you’re concerned about using harsh agents in your laundry) • 1 quart of white vinegar * Some of you might be thinking: But wait, isn’t it dangerous to mix bleach and vinegar? The answer is yes, but we will not be mixing the two here. Read on … Fill the empty washer with hot water, as if you’re doing a large load of laundry. Add the quart of bleach, and let the full machine run for one minute to mix up the bleach with the water. Open the top of the machine and let it sit, all bleach-y and full, for an hour. At the end of the hour, shut the cover and let the machine run a complete cycle. (The water will drain out all the bleach, so it won’t have a chance to mix with the vinegar.) When it’s done, start again. This time, when you fill the washer with hot water, add the quart of white vinegar to the water and down the bleach channel and let the machine run for a minute to agitate the water and vinegar. After that minute, open the top of the machine and again, let the hot water sit in the basin for an hour before you let the cycle complete.

    cleaned washing machine

    Not only did the process make the basement smell so fresh, but I noticed a big difference in how the inside of the basin felt. Smooth and clean, like after you exfoliate your face, no longer rough to the touch with the hard water spots and soap build-ups. It also only took about 2 hours and less than $3. I’ve never had a front-loading machine, but there is a different way of cleaning those. Check out this tutorial if necessary. Now you’ve got laundry on the brain, don’t you? Here’s some more inspiration for your laundry …

    Wacky Wednesday: 15 Odd Toilets and Other Bizarre Bathroom Fixtures

    While most would consider the bathroom to be a space where function should supersede fashion, we respectfully disagree. In fact, we’ve decided to compile a gallery of some of the more outside-the-box bathroom fixtures – a loud group of odd toilets and bizarre bathroom fixtures like nothing you’ve ever seen before.


    1. The Twizzler Tinkler

    Reminiscent of a Twizzlers’ commercial from the 80s and 90s, this big-lipped cartoon of a urinal is kind of cool at first but probably a bit creepy while business is being handled.
     15 Odd Toilets and Other Bizarre Bathroom Fixtures
     
     

    2. All Business, All the Time

    Speaking of business, this is a workaholics dream office – with all of the necessary technologies at your fingertips and all of the necessary amenities at your backside, there’s never a need to take a break!
     15 Odd Toilets and Other Bizarre Bathroom Fixtures
     
     

    3. No Eye Contact!

    We can’t tell if this is PhotoShopped or not but regardless, any toilet that wants to make eye contact during #1 or rest willingly with its mouth wide open during #2 is an odd duck in our book. The most problematic aspect of this fixture? I think it’s probably the teeth …
     15 Odd Toilets and Other Bizarre Bathroom Fixtures
     
     

    4. Wall Flowers

    Something is wrong here – these delicate little flowers are arguably too pretty to take the shape of a urinal in a men’s room, not to mention are too elegant for the watering they’re about to receive.
     15 Odd Toilets and Other Bizarre Bathroom Fixtures


    5. No Mistake About It

    Because nobody likes to get to the bathrooms and be uncertain about which door to go in (because the establishment is being too creative with their labeling of the men and women), this door leaves nothing to the imagination. Although it’s our first non-toilet on the list, this bathroom fixture is certainly bizarre.
     15 Odd Toilets and Other Bizarre Bathroom Fixtures


    6. Starring Sponge Bob

    This one makes a reapperance from our earlier “Disturbing furniture pieces” post. And it is well-deserved, on the disturbing front at least. This shot of course has an added bonus.  While we applaud the idea of putting a fish tank in place of a toilet tank, performance anxiety is inevitable when Sponge Bob Square Pants is staring up at you while you’re doing your thing.
     15 Odd Toilets and Other Bizarre Bathroom Fixtures


    7. Saintly Urinal

    While this set of urinals was probably installed with the best of intentions, we’re still trying to decide if this is a nice shrine to sainthood or, more likely, grossly sacrilegious. Either way, this fixture provides another way for the pious to look down on you.
     15 Odd Toilets and Other Bizarre Bathroom Fixtures


    8. Gamer’s Delight

    A true sign of the times, this ultimate man-cave of a bathroom is the stoner’s version of the workaholic’s throne above. With a flat screen TV, video console and toilet combo, you’ll never have to save and stop again!
     15 Odd Toilets and Other Bizarre Bathroom Fixtures


    9. Masked Shower Head

    Giving new meaning to the term “shower head,” this bizarre gas masked figure is alarming and artistic all at once. No matter how you view it, at the end of the day, it’s not your average bathroom fixture.
     15 Odd Toilets and Other Bizarre Bathroom Fixtures


    10. Mr. Roboto

    Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto! As if approaching a urinal with grasping robot arms isn’t odd enough, this poor man’s R2D2 looks like it has seen some better days. I shudder to think what the arms are actually for
     15 Odd Toilets and Other Bizarre Bathroom Fixtures


    11. Fixture Time Travel

    Modern, retro and futurist all at the same time, this glowing tub and sink combo is certainly a unique pair and straight off the combined sets of Cribs, That 70s Show and The Jetsons.
     15 Odd Toilets and Other Bizarre Bathroom Fixtures


    12. Bizarro Faucet

    There could be an entire separate post surrounding the many odd sink faucets out there, however, these next two that were worth a look. While 99.9% of faucets allow water to exit in a natural downward motion, this bizarro faucet forces the water upward and, as gravity runs its course, it arcs downward. Very pretty if you ask us!
