Brin is 10! This guy has been coming to Originate everyday since he was a pup! He takes his greeting duties very seriously, and the showroom just wouldn’t be the same without him. He’s the perfect hiking companion, kitty cat whisperer, lover of cheese, and ear scratches. We love you Brin and hope your day is filled with all your favorite things and maybe some extra special treats! Happy Birthday Buddy!!

Firehouse Red with Patina may be a discontinued color, but it’s still one of our all time favorites! Made with recycled glass from traffic lights, warning beacons, runway light covers, and even jet wing tip covers, this countertop is packed with history and personality. The deep red tones and rich patina make such a bold statement in this kitchen. And did you catch the bathroom vanity? It was fabricated from the kitchen sink cutout. We always love seeing creative craftsmanship like this that makes the most out of every piece of material.

If you love this look, Vetrazzo now offers newer options with a similar feel including Ruby Red with Patina, as well as a brighter Ruby Red set in a crisp white background. A fresh take on the same vibrant character. We have samples available in the showroom if you’re looking for ideas for your next colorful project!

Three clawfoot tubs just landed in the salvage yard and each one has its own personality.

The first one is the full package with the original hardware and oval shower curtain rod, all in really beautiful condition and ready for its next home!

The other two may need a little TLC, but that’s part of the fun. Whether you’re dreaming up a bold bathroom remodel, a garden feature, or a creative restoration project, these tubs are full of possibility. The second tub is a rare, smaller sizes at 48”, making it a great option for spaces where a standard clawfoot tub just won’t fit.

Come wander the salvage yard this weekend and see which one speaks to you before they’re gone!
