Heritage Salvage: Reclaimed Stories

At Heritage Salvage in Petaluma, the weathered white oak timbers of an Ohio corn mill and rough-sawn beams of an Idaho sheep ranch are the perfect building blocks for today’s rustic design aesthetic. Heritage Salvage takes readers on a tour of the restaurants, bars, and furniture that Michael Deakin has crafted from repurposed materials otherwise destined for landfill. Sure to inspire readers to rethink the process of design and construction, Reclamation Road shines a light on the beauty and potential of collapsing old barns and worn floorboards. From wooden pickling tanks to bleacher boards from old gymnasiums, Deakin sees the stories in old materials and uses them to tell a new story with his elegant and stylish designs.
