1st Dibs ... for less

1st Dibs... $1500

Black Dog Salvage $525

If you haven't run across 1st Dibs yets... check it out... it's a wonderful site to browse through and be inspired... truely lovely items & designs... if you're able to afford the items, better yet.

We checked to see if we could join their list of dealers, but unfortunately they only offer a limited number of regions - hopefully one day Roanoke will be included... until then, it's worth checking out our website to see how much you can save! Since our overhead is a fraction of shops located in New York, LA, London, Paris... we can often offer items for much less.

Here's an example:

Antique Wrought Iron Gate (pictured above):
1st Dibs price $1507 (reduced from $2,010)
Black Dog price $525 (everyday low price!)

Happy Shopping!

What's Your Favorite Salvage Find?

Favorite Salvage Finds

We all have them... or at least, I hope we do... our very favorite salvage finds!

There's usually a story behind them...

where they were found...

either by the side of the road (considered SORs by salvagers at heart), while on vacaction, passed down from Great Aunt Bessie or in your favorite Salvage Shop like Black Dog

or perhaps they were a great steal...

like my favorite chair below - found here in our Marketplace from our vendor Benchmark Custom Upholstery

I saw a similar chair online for $1895 (the Bergham His Chair) and grabbed this one for under $200... which immediately made me feel triumphant for paying WAY less... at least that was the rationale i used when trying to convince my husband that we HAD to have it & couldn't pass it up!

(lesson: there are some GREAT deals here @ Black Dog Salvage)

here it is resting peacefully at home :)

maybe it was a diamond in the rough, and with your help brought back to life...

like my very favorite salvage find (i have a few) below... a great perk of working for a salvage company is that we get 1st dibs on what comes in...

this store counter came to us painted green, with a nice coating of dust and missing a top...

our skilled craftsmen (another perk here) added a new top made from reclaimed pine flooring

the original thought was to paint the counter brown - while doing so, we learned a valuable lesson about applying latex paint over oil based paint (on a sunny porch w/ a poor priming job) - while the paint started to bubble and come apart, we noticed the beautiful oak underneath... and the original nickle hardware...

so back to the shop it went... where it was stripped, sanded & stained... and will now be a part of our family for years to come...

our chocolate lab, Tarka, wanted to be included, too :)

what's your favorite salvage find?

we'd love to hear from you! please email any favorite finds with pictures to onlinesales@blackdogsalvage.com & we'll post them in a future blog

we look forward to hearing from you!
