Taking a moment for light in this living room! It is really showing off the beauty of American Clay Enterprises . The natural variation of the Enjarre finish creates so much movement and texture as the sunlight shifts across the walls throughout the day.

The walls are finished in Sugarloaf White, with the fireplace in Oyster Bay. This is such a warm, and subtle combination that feels especially inviting in this space.

Ebony would like to personally welcome you to the salvage yard, where spooky season is officially in full swing. She’s ready to lead you through the maze of old doors, windows, hardware, and other treasures to see what you might uncover!

And who knows what you’ll find… maybe an old cauldron, a mysterious cabinet, or something that looks like it came straight out of a haunted house!

Just follow the black cat. She knows where all the good stuff is. Happy Salvage Saturday!

Feeling a little fall color inspiration from these three countertops: IceStone Jade Pearl, Gilasi Tesoro, and Vetrazzo ✨ Ale House Amber.

The colors alone feel like fall, with deep greens, warm amber tones, and all those softer, earthy shades in between. But what we really love is that all three are made with recycled glass and other recycled content.

Fall is nature’s own season of recycling. Leaves change, fall to the ground, break down, and eventually become part of the soil that feeds the next season of growth. These surfaces take a similar idea and bring it into our homes, giving discarded materials another life as something beautiful and lasting!

Where are you looking for inspiration this season?

Happy Salvage Saturday! We recently got in a couple different sets of lovely doors! The first set are sturdy, carved front doors with some intricate hardware! And the second set are some nice full light, single panel doors. We are also got in a bright red cast iron sink and a rocket ship wall light, for those of you looking for a more retro vibe! We’ve got something special for every style!

Come see us today! Open 12-4!

With fall officially here, it’s hard not to start thinking about the cozy spots in our homes, and maybe giving a few of them a little refresh!

We’re revisiting this fireplace, finished with Fireclay Tile Glazed Thin Brick in Wind River. The warm taupe and subtle texture give this space that layered, lived-in feeling that feels especially right this time of year. A beautiful reminder that sometimes a small change to a favorite corner can make it feel completely new again!

We also love that Fireclay’s commitment to design extends beyond the materials themselves. Through their Fireclay Gives program, they donate 1% of their products sold each year to organizations and projects working to make a difference in their communities. It’s always nice to see a company putting its materials, and its business, toward something bigger.

What better way to finish these beautiful handmade trusses (built on site!) than with a natural paint? From RMP Finishes - Formerly this milk paint was mixed in a custom color, combining Earth Green + Granny Smith Apple to create a green that feels especially fitting against the rice straw bale walls! A great way to add color while still keeping the palette rooted in the natural surroundings.

Milk paint is one of those finishes that makes a lot of sense in a natural build. Made from milk casein (a protein that is discarded in the cheese making process) and other natural ingredients, it has a soft, matte finish that feels more like a part of the material palette than a layer of paint over it. It’s also non-toxic, making it a great choice when you’re intentionally building with natural materials!

We are thrilled with this custom gate made for a driveway using a variety of metal pieces. The small decorative piece came from Originate and we love that they kept it in its salvaged form – rust, old paint, and all the charm! This really turned out beautifully, and you know none of their neighbors have the same striking entrance!

Happy Salvage Saturday! Come see us from 12-4!

More photos from the sweet midcentury modern remodel! Marmoleum Natural Linoleum flooring in Shiitake was installed throughout, creating a seamless look from room to room. The warm, earthy color complements the home’s midcentury character beautifully while keeping the design feeling simple and cohesive.

Linoleum has a long history in midcentury homes, where its durability, easy maintenance, and range of colors made it a practical and popular flooring choice. So bringing in natural linoleum here feels less like a modern makeover and more like a continuation of the home’s original design!

A little pattern goes a long way, especially in a midcentury home!

This laundry room and back entryway got a fun update with Newly Found, a screen-printed porcelain tile from women-owned and operated Haustile in Kentucky, which is a sister company to Red Rock Tileworks in Nashville.

The design features artwork by artist Daren Magee, aka Real Fun, Wow!, whose work draws inspiration from the natural and supernatural. The mirrored, scalloped pattern in shades of green, sand, light beige, and black feels right at home with the clean lines and playful spirit of a midcentury space!

And because it’s porcelain, it’s durable, easy to clean, and ready for all the traffic an entryway and laundry room can endure. A practical floor with plenty of personality!

It’s a perfect Salvage Saturday for odds and ends! Lots of interesting newer pieces available right now including some really fun yard accents (we have a fun metal road runner!), a clawfoot tub skirt, decorative railing pieces, an egg basket, bed springs, etc! Sometimes these are the kinds of pieces to a project that make people say “oh that’s so cool! Where’d you find that?” 😉 Come treasure hunting at Originate and give your space something people will talk about!
