This is a wonderful photo of a century old piece of hardware in Marseille, France.  This is representative of the great old patina we get with un-lacquered hardware on exterior doors.  This would make a great appliance pull!

“I feel like I am in a candy store!” – a quote by a Chicago architect about a week ago.  We really need a blog just to document what we hear on a daily basis (it might be more fun too).

“Hey, these guys can fix anything” another recent quote.

This is a great installation photo of our harmon hinge finished in polished nickel.  These pocketing doors go both into a closet and bath.  A harmon hinge provides a very clean and flush installation for a pocketing door.
