Salvaged Iron - Part 2 of 3

So what happens to the ironwork after it's been taken down? Stores like The Brass Knob Back Doors buy and sell parts and pieces that are no longer wanted by one person yet coveted by the next. I made a trip to visit the warehouse yesterday and was amazed at the plethora of cast iron tubs, door hinges, and glass knobs but most of all the iron fences and gates!

What do you do with old iron parts and pieces? Part 3...

Salvaged Iron - Part 1 of 3

Walking through the neighborhoods of DC you may or may not notice the detailed ironwork that keeps you from trespassing on private property or from trampling over someones flowerbed.

Best of Interior Design

In the Spring 2009 issue of Washington Spaces, we were honored to be awarded the Winner of Living Rooms ($100,000 and Less) in their annual Best of Interior Design. A residence designed by both the architecture and interior design departments of CDC, this is an example of how CDC design homes inside and out. A completely successful project that we are grateful to call ours turned out to be 'A Truly "Great" Room' to be a part of.
