Be Inspired--Creative Ideas on how to Re-Use and Repurpose Architectural Salvage

On October 6th, from 6:15-8:30PM, enjoy a design inspired evening out with complimentary wine, beer and light refreshments in Circa, the back showroom of Restoration Resources, that doubles as a unique event venue, completely furnished with salvaged pieces including an antique bar, piano, and one of the first original 1950’s Philco tube tv’s ever made! Join award-winning designer and builder Brendan Haley of B Haley Designs and Bill Raymer, owner of Restoration Resources, Boston’s only 7,000 sq. ft. antique salvage showroom/warehouse, as they lead an interactive presentation on how to re-use and creatively repurpose salvaged elements in residential, retail, and restaurant settings frequently recognized as “Best of Boston”. Some restaurant projects include Greater Boston’s La Brasa, Commonwealth in Cambridge and Tremont Street’s Caffé Nero.

Gain new creative ideas and tips on renovating, blending and accessorizing with beautiful reclaimed antique architectural elements, and vintage furnishings hand-picked from notable New England properties. If you're a restaurateur eager for unique design concepts, you will delight in guidance from Brendan Haley who will show exciting projects like converting an antique truck into both a bar and a table at Commonwealth Restaurant in Cambridge and using antique mail box panels salvaged from Harvard University in the design of Steel and Rye's host stand. Bill Raymer will share his own insights on both re-use and re-purposing. Homeowners will gain inspiration for transforming their living spaces in new and exciting ways like one of Bill's customers did when he replaced the existing doors of a sterile condo with antique Spanish doors from the turn of the century. Other examples include the creative endeavors of crafting a frame for a television from an antique Eastlake mirror and a coat rack from reclaimed wood and salvaged stair spindles that once inhabited Beacon Hill brownstones.

Learn from the industry experts as they highlight and share some fundamental technical considerations, trade secrets and tricks for easily retrofitting and creatively integrating salvaged pieces, while they showcase how these one-of-a-kind unique treasures can be re-used conventionally in both modern and period interior design schemes and properties, or repurposed in completely new ways in a variety of settings!
