If you're redoing a bathroom, don't discount second-hand fixtures. You can get well-made pieces and/or good deals if you salvage pieces that might otherwise go into the dump. There are a few places in Chicago to scout vintage bathroom items: Murco Recylcing, Urban Archeology, and Salvage One among them. Some examples of pedestal sinks spotted at Salvage One below...

If your looking to find awesome vintage finds, try "used" building materials. Seriously. Through this site, The Building Materials Reuse Association, I learned that there's more than 20 second-hand Building Materials or salvage stores in Arizona alone.
There's one in Apache Junction (Arizona) that's like a case of super-hoarding. Some things are brand new, and some things are probably 100 years old. You just wander around and poke through various sheds and rooms full of stuff. It's so awesome.
