So~this morning, the most local ReStore celebrated Earth Day with a ½ price sale! I went first thing hoping a pair of doors I wanted would still be there (I waited, to save some money)—they were gone, dang it!
But look what was still there!
I know this doesn’t look like much, but wait till you see the UnOrthodox way I’m intending to use the odd storage shelf. $10 4′ h x 6′ l .
This fabulous vintage lock set will be perfect for the girl’s playhouse–also $10!
I found a few more parts for the Victorian-Cottagie playhouse I’ll be building this summer for all my baby nieces & g-nieces !
The very small coach lamp will adorn its front porch– $5.
And, although these are cabinet door handles, I’m hoping to use them in a way to look like door hinges. $2 for all 4 pieces.
Then I chased up to the ReStore a half hour north, but they weren’t participating–boo-o-o-o.
But, as usual, I found lots of cool stuff there too! I tend to find the best stuff at this particular location! Here’s a little montage of what I got—
- The lockers were $10 and will be used in a great nephew’s BR.
- The ball and claw legs were $35, those will be for me–I think I’m going to use them when I build the box frame for my bed.
- The EXIT sign, $10, will become a night light for great nephew!
- The spigot/shut off valve handles, the 5 were $3.50 and will become handles on g-n’s dresser!
- The window is for the playhouse, $2.
- The pair of doors were $8–well, I’ll save that for a surprise! In the last picture, I was trying to see how the cabinet handles might look [as “hinges”]
Then I stopped by a rummage sale—omg!
I saw this chair driving by–urrrrch, back up! It was $15! It’s heavy and solid and I’m gonna have some f-u-u-u-n with it!!!
Yes, I have WaY too much china, but I’m a sucker–what can I say! Com’on, look at the cool pattern!
The stack, $3
I just thought these were fun–and unusual! I’ve only ever seen saucers and such affixed to candle sticks!
I’ve seen the last set of Ball jars on the candle sticks called “Redneck wine glasses” 🙂

Oh I wish I could have gone shopping with you today! I love those spiggot thingies, I was actually looking for some myself today! But my favorite, and I did a gasp out loud, those chairs!!!!! Good thing you don’t live close to me, I would seriously try to trick you out of those. They are amazing!

I adore the handles your going to use on dresser! What a cool idea! Speaking of ideas a client sent me a link to this VErrrrrY hanky swanky site that sells heirloom furniture. Catherine I swear they copy your stuff!!! When I saw it it just looked familiar and the more I looked the more convinced I was! It was interesting to see how they priced things, for instance a wooden waste basket was about $500! Can you even imagine? Paying g 500 dollars got something your going to throw garbage in? CRAZY!! Anyhoo thanks for sharing;) I always lo e your stuff.
