My mother-in-law emailed me the link to KMAC Greenworks because she thought I might like them...and I do! KMAC Greenworks started in the reclaimed materials industry in 2003 and is a division of KMAC Services that provides industrial recycling focused on the re-manufacture and re-use of industrial byproducts. Greenworks provides homeowners, builders, designers, and architects with sustainable building products in the form of hardwood flooring, beam and timber work, brick, and stone. In addition to the materials, they use the reclaimed wood to build one of a kind distressed furniture pieces as well.
The Greenworks promise: 'In a world of diminishing resources, we provide our clients with sustainable and environmentally friendly building materials. We see beauty and possibility in historic mills and buildings slated for demolition.'
Their warehouse is located in Birmingham, AL (my hometown) and is open to the public. I hope to visit it one day.

Wow, I never knew that was here, I bet you could find some nice old things to add to your home there. I wanted old and rustic beams in my kitchen, something with that old farmhouse look, but my builder gave me new... this would be nice for people like me that like the lived in look.
Ooh, thanks for the post. Birmingham is my hometown too and hopefully I can scope it out one day! I love the idea of using refurbished pieces in a home.
They also make one of a kind distressed antique furniture that is absolutely spectacular ! You can get a catalog by emailing andygathings@mac.com
