I did one of my papers in college on Architectural Salvage, unfortunately I live in a small town where there isn't much to pick through. We have a small ReStore but quite frankly they charge too much on many of the items. I work in a DIY store and I can buy new tile for less than they charge for used out dated colors. Currently I am working on making a new vanity, I bought two wood shutters to use as half doors on the vanity. I'm copying a piece we sell in the store I work for. I'm also a dumpster diver out of practice at this time. I also find that the put out the word strategy works well, even if you don't get exactly what you want at this point.. you never know what you will get later on. Boy I'm rambling I better stop now.
