Bay Area Salvage Resources
Monday, October 13th, 2008
I received a few inquiries about where to find salvage and reclaimed wood so I decided to share a few of my favorite sources in the Bay Area. The wood used in the reclaimed wood bookcases I designed was from Heritage Salvage (www.heritagesalvage.com) a great source for all kinds of reclaimed wood species. They also have a showroom with furniture made from their wood. I particularly liked these quirky coat racks:
If you are looking for more than reclaimed wood you can head over to Urban Ore (http://urbanore.ypguides.net/) in Berkeley. They have everything from vintage sinks, doors, fireplaces, windows, and even some appliances and used furniture.
The Re-use People of America (http://www.thereusepeople.org/RetailSales/) in Oakland have a large selection of building materials, and their proactive mission of helping to save the environment with their own deconstruction efforts (which provide 90% of their stock) is commendable.
That’s just a short list to get you started. Click here for my overview of sources from a Green San Francisco Interior Designer!
