I don't think anyone has posted www.hottopic.com yet. o.O
They generally have front and back pictures of everything. They have punk clothes (male, female, corsets, t-shirts, dresses, bathing suits, almost anything, really) and all sorts of accessories, belts, etcetc.

*Edit*

*bows head* So apparently someone did on page two. Well, it can't hurt to advertise it again .>.>; They really have good stuff.

I didn't see this one on here: vintage wallpapers from the 50's, 60's and 70's. Some aren't quite seamless (for example a wood texture I was working with was only three or four pixels too long to be seamless but, with a little cropping, that was easily fixed) and I haven't had a chance to check all the textures. Some are a little ridiculous, but others aren't too bad. Enjoy!

This is my favorite site for wall textures and images, in high quality and free to use. The have the best pictures for grungy bricks and paint, and it's all taken for use in other things, so it's very easy to work with.
You need to make an account but it's free. http://www.sxc.hu

Here's some high resolution, grungy textures that I frequently use. The owner of the site has photographed disheveled man-made fabrics like particle board and plastic.

I use Colour Lovers for palettes when I need to coordinate colors. Most of the palettes are five colors, which is more than I usually need in a single package, but you can pick out three or whatever you need.

http://stores.ebay.com/REFUSE-TO-BE-USUAL <---Punk, Visual Kei, Lolita, and more! Provides front and back shots, and I find their clothes to be such an inspiration. Quality of the pictures are usually good, too.

http://www.threadless.com/ <--- Their graphic shirt designs are win and has designs for everyone's tastes (like zombies, nature, and rainbow pasta, oh my!)

I stumbled upon this nifty little site for custom fabric patterns called Spoonflower -- it's kind of like etsy but exclusively for fabric prints.  There are some really cute and unique patterns most of them aren't seamless though so it takes a little coaxing to make them suitable for use for retexturing.

Content from Valve / Half Life / Portal etc... while you can yank it from the game files itself, you have to convert them and so forth... so I just upchucked them here: Valve Texture Repository. They are the same textures as in my walls and floors, and contain object textures too.

FPSBanana is a resource for modding all sorts of games, dedicated of course to first person shooters. They have a texture archive as well, so take a look: FPSBanana Textures. You don't need an account to download anything, just if you want to add your own things or comment.

I don't know how helpful this is, but I've recently discovered Flickr to be a great site for furniture textures. Just type the style and item in the search box (ex: "victorian cupboard") and it'll show a huge collection of high-resolution goodies; I've just gotten myself a 3193x5216 image of a medieval mirror/wardrobe.

You can't right click on the pictures either to save them but I just pressed Print Screen instead.

LOL, there are easier methods. This applies for everyone who downloads images to use them as textures: if the high-res preview images are protected from downloading via Javascript encoding, right-click somewhere on the page and choose "View Page Source" or whatever it is in your browser. It will bring up a gigantic list of codes that constitute everything that exists on the page. What is of interest to you is the link (or links) to the high-res image. Skim through the blocks of text until you find anything ending in .jpg or .png or the like (it's usually .jpg). It's likely that there's also an "img src" tag in front of it, though it's not always so. Once you've found the link, copy the link, open another tab or window and paste it in the address bar. Et voila-- the big image is now savable.

And speaking of Flickr, this is also how you save images in Large/Original sizes in there if the photographer has chosen to disable downloading of their photos.

For Flooring:
 http://www.fastfloors.com/ Click on the brand name and it will bring up swatches, etc.

For Walls:

For Cabinetry:
http://www.decoracabinets.com/browse-cabinets/woodType.aspx?wcode=2&dcode=12&fcode=250&pcode=43&chk=1 For this one, if you hover over the Browse Cabinetry menu and choose wood, you then select different choices to make a custom cabinet face. Sometimes, no matter what you pick, the image will be the same, though.

For Misc.:

For that last link, if you click on different side-menu options, it will bring up some interesting things to use for meshing or 'texturing'.
