Anyone ever go to the Habitat for Humanity ReStore? Take a look: http://www.habitat.org/env/restores.aspx

We went yesterday, and I'm thrilled.

There were doors -- nice wooden ones; track light canisters; chandeliers; even some furniture. I forsee two things:


an increased interest in home repairs
more visits to the restore


We got 4 alabaster wall sconces for the bedrooms. Similar to this one in size, color, and overall appearance. (but, of course, not identical, and it does have some surface scratches): http://www.littmanbros.com/pd_access_lighting_10510.cfm

But we paid $40 for each. $160 sounds like a chunk of change, but apparently the original price is considerably higher.

we have one here too, we go quite a bit

too late to edit, but ...

Like all thrift stores, there was a fair amount of stuff that didn't look desireable. And their prices seemed high compared to some other thrifts.

But the selection was good.

Our Habitat store is pretty good, but here of late the people running it have been setting the prices higher and higher. The only things that are really good are the building supplies. We have bought a sink, a door, and other things from them. I do like to try to shop there for I really like what Habitat does for people.

We have one in town that DH likes to visit. We have great deals there and the money goes for such a terrific cause. :)

Thanks for this info! :) They have quite a few in PA, dont know how close but wouldnt hurt taking a look, we have a place similar to this called Re-Place, it's a salvation army type thing that companies and the public donate stuff (furniture, sinks, cabinets, you name it!) and we can get stuff real cheap.

Oh- Im so excited. I had no idea they had HTH resale stores. I found one not far from me. My only question is why do they not use the donated things in the houses they build?
