Iconoculture: DIY homebodies looking for the perfect retro pieces like the thrill of the hunt, and this one engages them in the process from start to finish.

"Everything must go!" – for real. Whole House Building Supply and Salvage holds 48-hour salvage sales on the site of soon-to-be-demolished homes where DIY enthusiasts can scout, remove, and buy building parts right off the house.

Resourceful shoppers get a real charge out of picking up French windows, crown molding, kitchen cabinets, or name-brand appliances on the cheap. But eco-minded salvagers also get the satisfaction of knowing they’re recycling materials that might otherwise be dumped into landfill.
