"When I found one gleaming tin panel at a salvage yard, I decided to make it the focal point of my bath. I carefully hammered brads through existing holes in the tin that lined up with the subway-tile grout line. It's not like just hanging a picture."

"We love the pattern of these tiles that we found on eBay. To protect their patina, I coated them with a clear spray lacquer. We trimmed their edges so that they would lie flat and mounted them on plywood with black sheet-metal screws, then filled in around the tiles with wood trim."

"I swapped out the glass on my kitchen cabinet doors for vintage ceiling tiles from a ReStore. The tiles were cut so that the design is centered in the existing channels and attached from behind with retainer clips. I sanded them and finished the panels with dark wax. They hide clutter while preserving the rustic vibe of our dairy farm."
