Hooks & handles

We’ve been visiting our local reclamation yard today. Not your average reclamation yard but a posher version.
The first time we have been to look but our builder recommended we go to look at the flooring for our porch.
I must say it was rather fascinating seeing all the stuff in the barn....we have to try & remember we are going modern & must veer away from my natural instinct to go rustic!

Three good things:
1. Lots of choice of tiles, natural shone slabs & more modern stuff....I can see a disagreement coming up....Harry is still thinking farmyard!
2. Some reduced lights in the sale....I didn’t plunge in & buy thankfully but taking time to think things out.
3. Lydia is home for the Bank holiday...she surprised her mum & dad by arriving yesterday evening!
Great capture

I’ve been to this sort of place before Beryl but that one was just stuff outside mostly but this one was laid out like a shop......even had a cafe!

What a great selection. I love the whale tail.

Maybe you can both amalgamate your desires for design and inspiration. Rustically modern!

I love rustic as much as I love modern. I like @maggiemae 's idea of rustically modern...a Restoration Hardware style. I can't wait to see how your design dreams come together, Pat! And what a delightful surprise Lydia delivered!

Thank you all, we didn’t pick any of these handles.....too old for me even but I liked the look of them all together on that board. Our kitchen handles have a version of the two shiny ones but a different size.

I am loving this! eye went straight to the Great Western Railway signs. Fabulous nostalgia.
Thanks for your lovely post. Absolutely spot on. I couldn't have made it through the last few weeks without the help of God.

Interesting selection Pat, I do like to select a good big knob, am I allowed to say that. FAV for the choices.

I love all the textures and tones in this shot

I think you can mix and match. I used > 100 year old bench tops in my modern kitchen and I think it works.

I agree with @fueast - a bit of old mixed in is extra modern!

Wow! Very interesting assortment!

@fueast I remember that...they would go down well in this recycling age!
