My husband and I are DIY junkies – me to actually do it, him to help when forced to, but likes watching it on TV more.  Favorite show – Salvage Dawgs.  

Recently we made a trip to Roanoke, VA to attend a record show (Don is a collector), visit family, and to visit Black Dog Salvage.door sign

Although it was a wet and dreary weekend, it didn’t dampen our spirits, just messed up some of the photo ops and tours.marquee
On Saturday we visited the shop to explore.  One of those places where you see so many items which you may have once owned or wish you still had.  Plus several things you will recognize from the show such as the rocket ship which greets you as you pull into the parking lot.

Remember the VW van which had one side gone?  I heard it was Tay’s baby project and look at it now.

The hall of doors – oh what fun we could have with some of these.door collage
Don found a new friend behind the bar – this will be featured in an upcoming episode.   We asked about the seat which had been made out of a boat but it was on loan for an event.

One of my favorite items, which I almost bought was a lamp made from old wood crutches.  I have been wanting a large tripod lamp, and wouldn’t you know I used to have 2 pairs of crutches.  Now to find and buy again.crutch light

We met beautiful Grayson.  What a lovely young woman she is.  Did you know she once was a stand in for Brooke Shields in a movie?  As the only female on the salvage crew, you quickly discover she can hold her own with the guys.  She also loves making jewelry from some of her salvaged finds.grayson

Of course Don couldn’t leave without a few new albums and 45s.
We got to look around a bit in between rain showers.

This is one of those places you could walk around all day and still not see everything.  I can’t wait to go back.

 
Look for Part 2 of this visit – it will include an interview with The Crew, a look inside their shop, pictures of the stars of the shop – Sally & Molly, plus a few more of the treasures we found.groupTo make sure you see the follow up post and everything from Not Just Paper and Paint, sign up for email notifications

    There are so many amazing items to be found at Salvage Dawgs. My mind would be spinning with all the ways I could repurpose and refurbish everything! 🙂

      I could wonder around in there for 2 or 3 days. Loved it and can’t wait to go back. Make sure you are following so you can see my part 2 of my visit.

        I’m so excited, you posted a picture of my booth at Black Dog Salvage. I feel so honored to have a spot there. I love to talk to people from all over the country when I’m there working in my booth. So glad you enjoyed your visit and thanks for a lovely post. Hurry back!

    Oh wow, I could go broke in there. The wood cutting boards look amazing and the lamp for crutches proves you don’t ever have to throw anything out.

    Salvage Dawgs looks like such a fun place to explore and find things you can’t find anywhere else. I lived in Roanoke long ago and would love to visit this shop when I finally get to visit again.

Thanks for stopping by as we talk all things home and travel. I was doing “DIY” before it was the thing to do. I was born in a big city and lived on farms growing up in small towns. Now I live in what some would consider a moderately big city. I still enjoy the common things associated with a home, mainly cooking and decorating, but always make time for travel. Maybe it’s finding something fun in my hometown, or exploring new places on a road trip or cruise. Please pull up a chair, have a cup of coffee, and let’s talk about it. Read more
