Place to shop: Artefact Design & Salvage, Sonoma, California, United States

About this place:

45 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge, a few miles before you enter the town of Sonoma, look for a few gigantic blue lawn chairs and a wild new take on the classic white picket fence on the side of Highway 121 and you will find this fascinating shop. The showroom, both outside and in, offers a titillating selection of architectural antiques and unique finds from around the world. Sometimes the souvenirs come to you.
