Sarasota Architectural Salvage — Attraction in Sarasota

Architectural Salvage is a hidden paradise of quirk and meaning. This store has been my Disneyland since I was in high school, 20 years ago. If you feel stale, and listless, go! If you feel curious and open, go! The entire grounds are a feast for the eyes. Make a word in the sign letter garden. Touch a door from who knows where.

While Denmy & Taylor were nice to work with- and both offered apologies-the bottom line is it was an extremely unsatisfying experience. Two thumbs...

Sarasota Architectural Salvage is one of my favorite salvage stores to go. They have a lot of salvage items, but they also have antiques and new items. They have a lot of salvage from the Sarasota area, but they also bring items in from around the state, out of state, and from other countries. They have items that you can use as is, or plenty of things to create youe own masterpiece. It is rare that I leave empty handed whenever I visit.

It is close to downtown Sarasota. So, you can easily make an entire day of cisiting the area if you dont live close. This is what I typically do since I dont live in the area. I dont always visit the other places, but I always visit SAS when I am...
