Our second stop in SF today was a new architectural salvage place called Building Resources. Wow, what a place! The true treasures took a little digging, but there were more items we could see ourselves using than in other similar places.
We made a few purchases, but will definitely be back after taking a few measurements for our transoms. Gotta find a use for the sheets of textured aluminum, too -- boy, was it something. Enough to make the creative wheels turn and turn...
It's amazing to see this stuff get saved and re-used rather than being sent to the landfill. :-D

While we have absolutely no use for a splayed, reclining piano,
it was still good to see that this thing already had a buyer. |

| Dinner-plate-sized lenses from traffic lights |

| Thank goodness we have no need for an I beam. This would break the little Prius! |

| A vintage juicer, an unexpected find among all of the building materials. |
 |
| More tile! |
 |
| Doors, doors, doors |
 |
| Succulent inspiration |

Cool stuff. Thanks for sharing.
