Architectural Salvage?
So, in the ever-continuing quest to be thrifty (read: horrendously cheap), improve my house, and continue my effort to reuse where possible...
Anyone know of any good architectural salvage places? How about consignment shops, or simply a place to buy someone else's junky furniture, cabinet throwaways, etc, here in NJ?
Being in Hunterdon County would be a plus  |

You have to be careful with places that sell used furniture. I know people who have brought cockroaches (gross) and termites (scary) to their homes by buying used furniture.

There is a "junk" joint right on Rt. 31 in Clinton/Glen Gardner on the northbound side, not even sure if it has a name, sells all kinds of used stuff, furniture, old out houses  . Furniture outside all of the time, headboards, chests of drawers, tables etc. I can't believe that you live and High Bridge and don't know about that place. There is also flea market on Rt. 46 in White Township on the weekends, lots of people selling stuff there. |
