Fun stop for both locals and tourists with so much to look at it. There were salvaged goods, many of which were on consignment. The space was gigantic and was the size of a warehouse, but felt well organized. I also liked that there were many local artists represented, including some who had their own designated shop space. The associates did a great job of making the rounds and checking on us without feeling salesy. I ended up purchasing a piece of glass on driftwood and a couple of T-shirts and the transaction was easy. They had a spin the wheel game going in exchange for getting on their mailing list, so I won a free sticker too. If you want a unique shopping experience, this place is worth checking out!

Love love love this place! We just bought two locally made chairs and they are just a dream!! Staff is always very sweet!

This place is amazing for anyone. I love the show Black dog salvage I've been watching it for years and I've always wanted to go to see the stuff that I seen on TV and I did. My only letdown was I didn't get to meet Robert -Mike -Ted -Tay and Grayson. That would had made my day. I think it would be fun going into different places and find old treasures but it looks like very hard work. This warehouse is 40,000 square feet and it is full of stuff. Like Mike says we got stuff and now we understand when we hear him say that. Something for everyone. Consignment from other people that make items for the warehouse and a lot of antique and knickknacks. They make a lot of cool furniture and other stuff they also sell hats and T-shirts. I purchased a really cool mailbox with their logo on it can't wait to put it up. There's also another warehouse not far away but it was closed the Saturday we were there. Another building with 20,000 square feet that's were they keep there trucks and trailers. Also a huge building and yard. Next to the Black Dog Salvage is the Stone House it is used for a Guesthouse and event venue. It has some cool pieces that they created and would have loved to have seen them but it was closed. When we got home we were watching old episodes and they were talking about the dog bowl which is where the stage is for concerts. A place for local people to go to have fun. The LOVE sign was made from old Savage pieces to honor Virginia's tourism slogan Virginia is for lovers. I just know that this is a place you need to put on your bucket list. We enjoy it.

Black Dog Salvage is tied to a reality TV show. Did you know that??? I didn't, at least not prior to our quick weekend visit to Virginia. Many insisted we make visiting their warehouse a priority, so we did. If you are into home renovations and quirky (yet cool) reclaimed furniture and other vintage items and are skilled at turning trash to treasure, this place is definitely for you. However, as creative as I am, I find it difficult to see the golden egg within all the rubble, which is kinda what this place looks like to me. It feels a lot like walking through a 2020 revised version of Sanford & Son... to which the theme music was playing in my head nearly the entire visit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5DnqW3F57E ~ I wish I had the vision and the design skill to make something incredible with the vast variety of unique pieces here. Everything from old door handles and hinges, to vintage amber colored drinking glass & pitcher, to a life sized metal horse. There is art, clothing, vinyl records, claw foot bath tubs, an old juke box, garden statues, unique furniture, the ENTIRE DANG DOORWAY to an apartment building and I'm pretty certain I saw a rocket parked out front! But what they have most abundantly are doors & shutters of all shapes and sizes. One in particular reminded me of those metal accented wooden doors I've seen on ancient Spanish-built churches. It was absolutely gorgeous! ~ FINAL THOUGHTS The experience was fun. Our friends actually bought the amber colored pitcher and intend to use it as a flower vase. They also purchased a vintage Batman car in the toy section where, for some odd reason, Wolverine was driving it... LOL The warehouse is huge (40,000 square feet), so be prepared to have plenty to explore. As far as the show, it will soon be coming to an end after 8 seasons and 143 episodes: https://www.wdbj7.com/2020/07/25/roanoke-based-reality-television-series-salvage-dawgs-ending-after-143-episodes/ Enjoy!!! 2020 / 41

Lots of upcycled furniture, stained glass windows and live edge boards.

Bottom Line: 40,000+ square feet to explore including architecture salvage, upcycled items, local art and more. I love American history, Americana and architecture, especially stuff from the turn of the century, so I dutifully watched every episode of Salvage Dogs on Discovery Network's DIY channel. I always thought it would be fun to visit Black Dog Salvage and finally this November my husband and I made the nearly five hour drive to visit! I was a little nervous that my trip to Black Dog Salvage would be a let down but it wasn't! I didn't see any of the famous dogs but all of the staff I encountered were very friendly and helpful! I thoroughly enjoyed perusing all 40,000 square feet of their primary location looking at the obvious and the obscure. I saw various pieces I recognized from the show and I was glad to claim several old yarn spools for myself. I also debated, and perhaps foolishly left behind, BDS Furniture Paint. Their paint doesn't require sanding or priming and can be used on wood, metal and more. Sounds like a DIYers dream come true. Overall visiting Black Dog Salvage was a really great experience and with the changing inventory I wish I lived closer!

Wow. I could seriously spend a whole day just roaming through Black Dog Salvage. If you have never been, you really should stop by for a look. They have such an incredible inventory of eclectic and funky items. We really enjoyed looking at the doors and the stained glass throughout the huge building. They have a great mixture of salvaged and new items to browse. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They are 'dog friendly' so if your dog is well behaved and likes to shop they can come in with you!!

While working in Roanoke, I wanted to visit the home base for the TV show "Salvage Dawgs". I enjoyed seeing some of the pieces I remember being shown on the tv program. The facility is large and full of all sorts of salvage items. They welcome fans of the tv show that, as I, really wanted to see the place and hope to see someone associated with the show (I didn't), as well as those that are looking for unique pieces for residential or commercial projects. The prices are not cheap. One would have to have some deep pockets if they wish to purchase items for their projects. Overall a most pleasant visit.

Their style blends the past and present and is inspired by the rustic yet elegant villas of the French countryside and the clean and down-to-earth feel of the American farmhouse style. By its beautiful showroom you would think it's prices are very expensive, but they are not. They are reasonable and comparable to Pier 1. They carry high quality, beautiful, and very unique items, like vases, watering cans, and framed prints. Many items that would make wonderful gifts. Their products are hand-selected and blend the past and present. The French Farmhouse also sells unique products, including handmade items by small business makers and European antiques. A visit to this elegant store, which opened in 2021 and is locally owned by Ashly Lawson, a Franklin County native, is a very enjoying experience. When I visited the store last week I was greeted by a very friendly elegant lady, who was very cordial and answered all my questions about the store and its products and unique gifts. I highly recommend that whenever you're in Downtown, Roanoke, you go visit the store. You will enjoy the visit, and maybe discover one of those home decoration items of your dreams.

Sooooooo cute!…read more I've been following this shop on Instagram for a while but haven't been able to come inside just yet bc they were closed during my last time in town. I love the location - right beside the newly opened and renovated Firehouse 1 building. These two cute spaces compliment each other well and with the beautiful hand-made TXTUR store next door - you can really get some beautiful decor and home goods between the two. This shop is small - but packed with beautiful items that fit the name - French shabby chic farmhouse. I saw a ton of things I'd love to buy. Candles, dinnerware, candlesticks, salt and pepper shakers and wells, t-shirts, a little jewelry, pillows, seasonal decor, etc. The gal behind the counter was very friendly and they have a website and sell gift cards. I found some CUTE fall pumpkin and halloween items to die for inside as well as a honey well and a cute small stoneware jewelry dish. Highly, highly recommend you stop in if you at all love French shabby chic! (Note - the space upstairs is also an event venue)

I had seen so many TV ads about Grand Home Furniture, that today when I saw one about their…read moreLa-Z-Boy recliners at 50% Off Sale, I decided to drop by the store to check it out. After being awarded the Triad Yelp Squad Yelper of the Year 2024 Award at the Yelpies Award Ceremony last year, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, celebrating their contributions and accomplishments throughout the year, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Grand Home Furniture in Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example. Located off Valley View Blvd almost across the street from Longhorn Steakhouse, this furniture store is one of the largest that I have ever seen. Many people are intimidated by the humongous size of this furniture store and its magestic entrance, and have never dared to enter the place. But because of its size, it also has a large selection of furniture of all prices and a large sales force that have been trained in Sales and are waiting patiently near the entrance to go after the first customer that comes in through the entrance. This can be a little intimidating to some people. Arriving around mid-afternoon, there were plenty of salespersons waiting at the door. The first one to reach me was one named Royce. He was very friendly and greeted me with a smile. I told him that I had heard about their La-Z-Boy 50% Off Sale and was looking for a nice leather recliner to watch TV comfortably at home. The Salesman was very knowledgeable about La-Z-Boy recliners because he was transferred from their Tanglewood Store a couple of weeks ago and yet he knew where to go to show me La-Z-Boy's best leather recliner. He asked me to try it out and showed me how the remote control worked. He then went about showing me a couple of other recliners to compare with the first one. Definitely, the first one was the most comfortable of them all. I asked him for the measurements of the recliner so I could see if it would fit in my space. He showed me the slip that had this information andvI took a photo of it. Then I asked him to write down the total cost for me with the 50% discount, taxes, and delivery fee of $150. Either he was not listening well to my request or didn't feel comfortable with numbers, because he brought back his card with one total price on it. Before I left he gave me another of his business cards and asked me to go back to him if I decided to purchase this item. I told him I much appreciated his time and that I would. As a former Professor of Salesman, it was interesting the different techniques that he used to get me to purchase this item today, but the most important of all, to listen, he neglected. But that's alright, without the benefit of a college education. He did his best, and if I decide to purchase the recliner, I go to him for his effort. I definitely recommend this furniture store for its variety of furniture of all price categories and quality, the beautiful display rooms, and the excellent customer service details that they have with their customers, like offering them something to drink, giving them a period where they can return the item if they don't like it for a refund, and a 5 year period of repairing anything wrong with the product.

Very pleased with our purchase! Didn't like the warehouse setting BUT the prices out way the…read morewarehouse experience. Got great service!

Locally owned since 1995, their Flagship Showroom covers 10,000 square feet of the highest quality American-made and some fine-quality import furniture, mattresses, and accessories. I happened to discover their store one evening after coming back from watching a movie at the Historic Grandin Theatre, walking down the sidewalk of Grandin Road. The store was closed at that time but I remember looking inside their store windows and seeing some of the nicest, fine craftsmanship and beautifully designed furniture that I had ever since in a while. And I know a little about genuine luxury furniture. During the time I went to college in Boston and Cambridge, I took some elective courses in the History of Art and the History of Furniture. Then after years passed, when faced with furnishing my reasantly purchased five bedroom house, I researched and studied the highest quality brands and had my living room sofa custom made at Century Furniture. Soon afterwards, the night that I was exposed to this furniture store, I had an opportunity of visiting the store in person and meeting with the extremely nice owners who personally hand-select the high-quality American-made fine furniture and accessories. I also had an opportunity of meeting and talking to some of their knowledgeable sales staff and interior designers, who were also very friendly and kind. I invite all those reading this review to look at my photographs accompanying this review and see for yourselves the beautiful future they have on display. And then go give them a visit. From all that I have seen and experienced, I highly recommend this furniture store for all those looking for high quality, genuine wood furniture, with fine craftsmanship, and beautiful design. On top of this you get experienced interior designers who can help you select the appropriate items to create a beautiful and comfortable space in which to enjoy quality time with your family and close friends. And to top it off you get outstanding customer service.
