When Kate told me she was taking a quick run to scope for affordable home remodeling finds at her local ReStore Habitat for Humanity, the bug right bit me, too. So same day, I took a quick trip up the road to see what was new/old at my ReStore in Pittsfield, Mass. As usual, there were some terrific buys, if you have the need — some lovely vintage lights… mirrors… bathroom sinks… kitchen cabinets… lots of bathroom tile in a soft classic off-white… and more. Following is my slide show, with each image captioned. Click on any thumbnail and it will enlarge, use arrows below each image to move back and forth.

OOOOH! I think I saw some of that Marmoleum at my Restore in Appleton Wi! I have a tiny 3/4 bath that would be spiffy in.
But how do you glue it down? Right now, there are cheap self stick vinyl tiles ( they pop off every place BUT the wet bathroom).
Under it is most likely worn out 1950’s bathroom vinyl or leno.

Pam – we went here not too long ago. Wonderful place, and we knew about it because of you. If you ever make the trip there again in the future, drop me a note on FB! I’d be great to meet you.

I used to love our ReStore, now it’s so expensive, I rarely go there. They are also getting in alot of new pressed board furniture (NEVER in my house!) with new prices). So sad

I visited our Re-Store the other week (Portland, ME) during lunch looking for an electric range. Nothing. Ours is rather smallish – and not much of great interest to me there. Of course naturally, before I got the house there were two NOS electric stoves but they were built ins, and they had a sign on them that said “Not for Sale at this time”. They had a vintage (Big Chill??) fridge too – but that was too large for our space.
We did come home with a box full (exact amount) of spade hammered copper hinges for the kitchen cabinets. So, that made me happy.

I just found out our local ReStore (Salem, CT) is moving! The huge garden center they were housed in went out of business and the building was sold. They’re moving to a temporary location at 82 Boston Post Road in Waterford, CT.
The better news is that in looking it up, I see there’s a new ReStore in Putnam CT. Atleast I think it’s new. I haven’t been there before.

Love that sink, (#30), too. The offset tap is perfect for a bathroom since, honestly, there’s a tendency to smack ourselves in the head with the bathroom faucet trying to wash our faces without splashing water everywhere in the usual arrangement. Or is it just me?

Holy heck! That’s our exact Geneva set! People are CRAZY to get rid of this stuff!
