Trade Days in Bonham

It was a gorgeous day in North Texas. Every 2nd Monday of the month is Bonham Trade Days, the local area-wide sale weekend.

I was there with a lot of old doors which I use to make room dividers, armoires, tables, etc., mantels, wrought-iron work, barn doors, stall walls, roofing "tin" and some really cool ceiling tin that is stamped from flattened barn tin.

I build near-zero energy homes, which means that my clients are really into green. This includes using old materials out of other homes. This is good for recycling and for giving old charm and character to new homes.

Here's pics of some of what I brought to sell:

If you have any interest in the ceiling tin, let me know. I have this pressed to order in any quantity you like. These are 2'x2' and we've used this for: Ceilings, both inside and out on porches, wainscot, door inserts. Because this is from barn tin, you can specifiy that the rusted side go to the face. This makes a very interesting effect. The piece above has a white-wash that was applied and then wiped off.

I'm working on getting a die cut with the state seal stamped in the center.
