My hubby and I went "poking around" our favorite salvage yard last weekend.
We were hoping to find some stone to use as thresholds off the living room, dining room and master bedroom doors leading out to our backyard.
It's not often you find what you're looking for!

In fact of all the years that I've been haunting this place I have never seen flagstone pieces, I've only seen bricks, so I couldn't believe my eyes when I found him playing around with a stash of gray flagstone that looked to be a perfect match with our pea gravel!
(Doors off Living Room)
It was a small pile, but we set about picking out the best pieces laying them out in 3 rectangles.
(Doors off Master Bedroom)
We threw in a few extra pieces for good measure and loaded them in the back of our Volvo wagon/truck.
The best part...
We ended up using every last stone and the grand total came to all of $20!

This weekend we need to buy some pea gravel fines to fill in between the stones and we should be set!

I made a quick sweep of the joint before heading home.

Here are some things that caught my eye!
Check out that beveled piece of glass!

An interesting crock...
complete with old olives!
And a BIG WOW
If you are wondering if I found anything...
I did!
But I'm saving that for a project that I will show you soon.
So, where have you been poking around lately?
