She painted them purple and planted them up. They look fabulous! I would have grabbed those lockers as well - so cool!

I would even have been tempted just to grab some big chunks of concrete to use in the garden. What fun to go shopping at Earthwise.

So true about that invaluable old growth wood that's at the salvage yard now. It's the only reason our house has withstood termites for 100 years. Even redwood from the big box stores for decks or fencing is chewed up like candy.Denisehttp://agrowingobsession.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-44492851215512835642017-11-18T09:52:54.212-08:002017-11-18T09:52:54.212-08:00I take comfort knowing that care is taken with the...I take comfort knowing that care is taken with the demolition to make sure some parts are salvaged. I'm sure its not about sentimentality but profit, but I'm glad we are at point where reuse and recycled items are in vogue. chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-64187602361626155042017-11-18T03:45:02.024-08:002017-11-18T03:45:02.024-08:00I was eyeballing those building fragments too.

The light shades would really work well as planters, I can attest to that. :-) It's a shame to see buildings torn down, makes me melancholy, too. Especially while dealing with the demise of my parents and their property and now Carl's parents, too. Indeed, what do we do with all the dishes and mementos of other people's lives that up until just a moment ago were cherished by their owners. Life goes on, but still, it hurts.<br />Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-12935518203095329182017-11-17T08:26:40.879-08:002017-11-17T08:26:40.879-08:00Yes you should have rescued that fragment!

I really wanted to stop at Eathwise when I was in Seattle a couple weeks back, sadly it was pouring and cold and I wimped out.
