At Olde Good Things, we take a lot of pleasure and pride in our expert salvage and custom alterations of finely-crafted architectural elements and antiques. We are delighted to have been mentioned in the recent House Beautiful piece by celebrated interior designer and HGTV Host Leanne Ford entitled “Leanne Ford Shares the SECRET Spots She Shops for Vintage Decor”.
Ford is known for her unique redesigns of Pittsburgh homes in the two HGTV home renovation series Restored by the Fords and Home Again with the Fords. Ford’s designs, however, are not limited by locale, and her work is found in homes nationwide. Ford describes her style as a “modern yet lived-in” aesthetic. Ford’s renovations share something in common with our modus operandi at Olde Good Things: that is, to respect and preserve history while updating it for the Modern Age. You can get a sense of how Ford weaves her magic in this tour of her stunning Pittsburgh home.
Leanne Ford’s Favorite Picks from Olde Good Things
“This is my favorite spot for the most beautiful warehouse windows and glass,” Ford says.
“It’s also my go-to for the holophane lights you see in Buck Mason shops,” she continues. “Their whole selection is unreal, but somehow I always end up leaving with more lighting.”
We agree. Our impressive selection of windows from warehouses, churches, and other historic buildings offers detailed, quality pieces for any design style. The style of your windows and quality of the glass affect the natural lighting design of an area…and how the view from the interior frames the outside world. Take a look at this recent Instagram story about a 1902 stained glass window panel from a Philadelphia church to see how fine colored glass can add vibrancy to your space’s natural lighting with the use of color.

And… of course, the extensive selection of reclaimed light fixtures and antique lighting at Olde Good Things carries a reputation for excellence. Consider how much lighting impacts the overall atmosphere and aesthetic of a space to create functionality and mood. You can see how other designers have incorporated reclaimed light fixtures to create theme, contrast, and warmth in “The Startling Impact of Using Reclaimed Industrial Lighting in Contemporary Design “.
We want to thank House Beautiful in addition to Leanne Ford for featuring Olde Good Things as one of the best places to shop for unique vintage finds.
We invite anyone in the industry – designers, builders, architects, and dealers – to visit our Designers and Wholesale page to find added incentives for procurement through Olde Good Things.
