• Old Doors – Whether they are made from old oak, or carved from dark cherry, doors can be a great addition to any home. If you stop by a salvage yard, look for those with elaborate carvings, or those that have additions such as glass or metal to serve as little windows.

Old doors can also serve as great conversation pieces. Just put them in a corner as a door to nowhere, and watch the conversation lead to unprecedented ways in no time!

• Flooring – Salvage yards are also home to flooring, so look for hardwood flooring that you might be able to use for tabletops or cabinets. Hardwoods, as the name implies, are especially strong, and can also serve as great decorations if you want your house to have a “down home” feel.

It’s all about saving money and getting well-established styles to mingle with your ideas. In the end, not only will you make the best furniture, you will do so without spending a lot as well!
