good source of salvaged building parts, reproduction doors and hardware,
antique light fixtures...we bought a great pair of oak columns to use as
a "room divider" in the addition to our 1920s bungalow, matching the
feel of the existing pair between our dining and living rooms.

Good luck, and let us know the location of your list!
