This weekend Andrew and I checked out two places in Berkeley that I've been meaning to check out for months now, Ohmega Salvage and Urban Ore. Holy cow, I've never seen so many windows, doors, mantels, sinks, toilets, or light fixtures. Ohmega Salvage has its share of the chipped and worn, but they also have a great selection of refurbished anything you can think of to restore your property. Although Urban Ore also has a huge selection of salvaged windows, doors, sinks, toilets, etc., it has more of a garage sale feel with a ton of random items, such as mannequins, old electronics, books, and clothes. Wow, both of these places were so much fun to see.From Ohmega Salvage:
At the entrance Urban Ore were a few clawfoot tubs filled with plants along with this potted wheelbarrow, which I loved. (The tub pictured at the top of this post is from Ohmega Salvage, though.) The rows and rows and rows of sinks, toilets, windows, doors, etc. aren't shown here in the pictures, but believe me they were there. From Urban Ore:
