But you can forget about bargain-hunting these days. You are not the only one, opting for architectural salvage for your restoration project.
To me, restoring an old house means paying respect, still avoiding the stereotype idea of "an old Italian farmhouse". It is just that...
Reclaimed basins simply have more character than new production.
Reused terracotta urns, already patinated, blend so well with your original pavement.
Period style fixtures and fittings, instead of installing new ones, add the finishing touch.
Old coppi, tiles, for the roofs accompany your aged stone walls.
A "Modern Retro" garden sofa. The idea is to contrast old fittings with modern life style. Enjoy your week everyone! Bacione, Ingrid

Så klokt att återanvända gamla vackra bruksföremål. Att det känns bra även för själen är ju ytterligare en fördel. Fast jag håller med dig, mycket har ökat kraftigt i pris.
Jag tog en promenad för att lämna in min persianpäls (secondhandfynd :)efter jobbet, knäppningen var lite trasig. Då "råkade" jag titta in på Myrorna och hittade en charmig spegel som jag bara måste ha.
Vin Santo står i skåpet, vi får lov att plocka fram flaskan till skorporna :)
Ha det så skönt i Rom! Jag är ju inte alls avundssjuk...nej, nej.
