Inside Devereaux House, part 2

Welcome to Helen's home, the other half of Devereaux House!
Originally a schoolhouse, Helen has renovated this into a charming cottage.

Just like her sister, she found her front doors here @ Black Dog.
Salvaged from Egypt, they used to look like this...

a good lesson to look for potential in everything!

Keep scrolling to see more fun finds and accents in Helen's beautiful home!

We hope you enjoyed a look into the women behind Devereaux House.
We look forward to bringing you more home tours in the future!

A look inside one half of Devereaux House

Thought it might be fun to go behind the scenes of one of our favorite vendors.
As you may know, we have a growing Marketplace here at Black Dog, featuring a select group of merchants.
Devereaux House was started by two sisters,
Lisa and Helen, who share a love for antiques and collecting.
They were both nice enough to give us a little tour of their homes,
I can't wait to visit them in person!
First up... here's Lisa's home, which she designed and built with her husband.

Lisa found the incredible doors right here @ Black Dog.
For Roanoke locals... you may recognize the match to these
at Fork in the Alley.

The inspiration for their dream house came from the cover of A House on the Water.
(Great book, available here @ Black Dog)

Here's Lisa warming up by the fire with her pup, Sam.

Hope you enjoyed the tour :)
Next up... Helen's home... a former schoolhouse!

Virginia Living Blog

Just saw this post about a topic near and dear to our hearts
on the Virginia Living Blog and was excited
to see Black Dog Salvage mentioned!

Antique Old World Wrought Iron - updates to our Ebay Store!

Thought I'd share some outtakes from our recent
iron photo shoot... it's always tricky shooting in bright sun but we made it work.
I love these reflections!

We are in the process of reorganizing our back yard and will
be adding new iron listings to our Ebay Store weekly.

It's no small feat to literally move, tag and document
tons of iron... but we hope it will help folks find the perfect
gate, railing or decorative panel!
Check our Ebay store for updates or if you're in search of particular size,
please send us measurements and we'll search the yard for you.

We (were) OPEN TODAY... and are heading home to enjoy the snow!

Our snow weekend continues...
our lot is plowed and we're OPEN TODAY!
Sally will be waiting with hot coffee and a warm fire :)
*** UPDATE: we're closing at 1:30pm
We'll see you on MONDAY!
Enjoy the snow and be safe.

We (were) OPEN Today but are NOW CLOSING FOR THE DAY!

Happy Snow Day!
We opened this morning and had a chance to clear the parking lot.
We're taking a snow break and are closing for the day.
We hope to open tomorrow, weather permitting.
It's looking like we will be OPEN SUNDAY (the first time ever)
to try to make up for these past two snow weekends!
Please give us a call before heading out
540-343-6200.
We hope to see you soon!
