Architectural Treasures Part I

My friend Judy and I had a

"girl's day out" Friday

We made a trip over to Gonzales

This little Texas town has a wealth

of history behind it and it's town square

is filled with beautiful historical building.

There was one particular building we were

headed to that day.....

Discovery Architectural Antiques

This unique and amazing store

has been Written Up in

This Old House Magazine

and the New York Times

Pretty awesome for a shop

in little old Gonzales!!

Let's wander around this unique place
filled with salvaged items from old Southern
Homes dating back to the late 1800's

Every where you look there are

interesting pieces

Don't you love this key collection

Perhaps you could find a few to make your own collection

and don't forget a few key plates

Or how about a lovely door knob???

Are you drooling yet???

and did I mention their great selection of old doors?

That's how we knew about this place, my friend Judy and her hubby

bought a beautiful old front door for their home from

Discovery Architectural Antiques a few years back

It's over 100 years old - talk about an architectural statement!!

Let's stroll through the door isles

Here is my favorite, and yes the black

part is chalk board

I also loved this great screen door

be still my heart

......and of course this caught

Every Little Birdie's eye

the minute we walked into this

Architectural Wonderland

Every Little Birdie says -

Pop in next week to see more of this amazing shop
