Switch covers

I think switch covers are an excellent element for any house. I got four of these a few weeks ago for one dollar. I love the nouveau style. This one is by the sink and has made that space a little nicer. I could have done a better job of matching the screw. Still, I like it better than the plastic cover that was there.

Door knob and architectural antiques

I really love architectural antiques. I think they add something to a house that simple furnishings cannot. This piece was not cheap enough to pick up for resale at the flea market. It was in the booth of one of the nicer dealers whose aesthetic choices I admire. I think the object market is weak right now but the market for useable architectural elements is still strong. This is a direction that I think it might be good to take my business in. The market is strong because the elements can be used as intended objects in the house, as decorator objects or as new projects. Architectural elements appeal to restorers, modernist, and fit many design motifs.
