Was just in Seattle with my daughter and we visited Ballard Reuse. This place brought me new understanding of "building salvage." When a building is ready for demolition, the last folks to be called in are licensed salvage folks. They can take whatever they find that's left: old oak flooring, old brass fixtures, old windows and doors, old chandeliers, old anythings! Wandering the stuffed warehouse of this place I was just amazed.
Where else might you find a long-forgotten 1900s baby carriage or a pink or green or yellow bathroom sink???? If you're really into vintage for your home, remember to check out the building salvage businesses. Just might surprise you.
