Without a doubt, architectural salvage is the number one thing I look for when I\u2019m vintage hunting!\u00a0 You can find a lot more about my vintage hunting lists and favorite places to look HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 I use it all throughout our home and I love all the character it adds.\u00a0 In fact, one of my audience questions for the month of April is how to add character to a builder-grade home.<\/p>\n

#1 TIP: Add Architectural Salvage!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Old doors, corbels in door openings, reclaimed wood, chippy door headers\u2026all things that you can find (with some patience!) and add so much character to any home!<\/p>\n

Back in January, we gave our girls\u2019 room a mini-makeover, trading out their blush and pink accessories for some light blue options they chose.\u00a0 When I came across this gorgeous, chippy architectural salvage piece with the light blue and gray tones, I just knew we had to try and make it work in their room!<\/p>\n

It ended up being the perfect addition to their space, giving it just a bit of an \u201colder girl\u201d look, a space to display a few special items, added a touch of their color, and added a lot of character!\u00a0 Since I know they are going to want to change things around, I keep the basics of the room more neutral.\u00a0 But I couldn\u2019t pass up an opportunity to add such a pretty statement piece to their room!<\/p>\n

There\u2019s the why and what!\u00a0 Here\u2019s the how:<\/p>\n

This piece makes the perfect shelf because of the wide ledge (about 8 inches) and the corbel-like supports.\u00a0 Here\u2019s how we did it:<\/p>\n
