That is so cool. No, you don't find solid wood furniture with elaborate carving any more. There is a certain salvage warehouse in my area which is always offering the masterpieces of yesteryear, great-grandma's exquisite furniture. They also have furniture of every era from great-grandma to contemporary. If you want a 1967 sewing machine on its own table, they have it. If you want stained glass windows, cast iron radiators, old growth lumber, vintage appliances, gorgeous lighting fixtures, granite countertops, bikes, ceiling fans, several generations of hand and power tools, etc., this is the place. I usually go every week and come back with stuff to fulfill specific needs in my house. Found a 12' red oak handrail already outfitted with the wall brackets--$20. To buy the equivalent at Home Depot would have run $185. Long may we thrift!
You sound like me. I used to go every week. I have largely broken the habit of weekly visits, but I do go looking around every couple of months. It’s a great hobby.
