Original color - vast selection - great price. And, they produce the 1950s style wall-mounted & recessed china toilet paper, soap, and toothbrush holders (see toilet holder in top photo) also from original molds. Or you can use shiny stainless from Franklin Brass. [...] [...] Thank you thank you, Stephan! Original color - vast selection - great price.

I just went to the one 45 minutes away from my house on Saturday -- and stayed 2 hours. They have INCREDIBLE stuff... it's for a great cause... and at great prices. It's a great place, too, for Useless but Wonderful stuff, which I got a bit of. Hey Femme1: Send your entry today!!!! I couldn’t agree with you more, about ReStore!

I haven't been able to part with the original chrome fixtures (which have a clear plastic piece that fits in the soapdish) in my bathrooms, even though they are looking a little shabby, because I don't think I could ever find a replacement that matched their odd combination of roundness and straight lines. I have found incredible things like 50s tubs, sinks, medicine cabinets, bathroom fixtures, and tons of other stuff at my local Restore. This is a warehouse/store run by Habitat for Humanity; they take all sorts of house stuff, including things like 2 x 4s and siding, that they are given (lots of vintage stuff) or new things that are leftover from their building projects. The prices are really low. Here is the national website; they give a listing of all the Restores in the U.S. and Canada. http://www.habitat.org/env/restores.aspx These look great.
