Vintage shower doors, toilet tank lids & more at Second Use in Seattle
It’s very cool to know that there is now a small legion of retro renovators out there stalking Re-Stores and estates sales and Second Use’s — taking pictures of all the great little features of mid-century homes to share with others. Vanessa spotted three great items at the Second Use in Seattle. Like: Look at those toilet tank covers. Can yo believe how many different shades of beige and pink and blue and…beige? 
She sends in these photos, and writes:
Hi Pam!
I love your blog and although my current house is craftsman I love Midcentury design
Vanessa
Readers, take care regarding old shower doors, doors and windows — as another reader recently pointed out in a comment, they may not feature safety glass. So this is another issue to be aware of and to think through. Vanessa: Many thanks. And you don’t even have a mid-century home?! Arts & Crafts style has been a love of mine in the past, too. I had a 1912 Colonial Revival in Michigan – with an interior that was very heavily A&C influence. I loved it very much.

Great eye Vanessa. I’m another seattleite with a craftsman (that loves mid-mod too).
Shoot me an email if you want to talk craftsmans, I already love second use, but am always looking for rescources.

We love SecondUse!! We bought our first (yes we have two) Frigidaire Flair there for such a deal at $145. I just saw this ModernMaid pull-out toaster on their website.

It may be more of a late 70’s model but still so “kitchen of the future”-like. I love RetroRenovation and all the great info. everyone shares. It’s so nice to find others who share the same love of all things vintage.
(I’d include a pic of our Flairs but I’m not sure how to do that.)
I love Second Use! They also have a ModernMaid pull-out toaster–or at least as of yesterday they did. And new today they have this crazy drop down cooktop–very cool http://www.seconduse.com/node/35088. Check it out. I’d be interested if anyone knows what it is.
How can I see all of your shower doors. I am looking for nickel plated frames with glass, deco is best, circa 1925
ben – we don’t sell these items here. read the post and you can see where it is for sale. good luck.
