Habitat For Humanity

I have only been to this store once, but I was amazed at what I saw. There was all kinds of cool unique old windows and doors, hardware, bathroom fixtures, paint wallpaper, etc. I was told that this stuff is donated, some by the big stores (home depot, etc.) other by people redoing their homes or businesses. It's a cool place to check out, but call a head, because they have odd hours. more

Restore is a warehouse of leftover Habitat for Humanity supplies. You may think that this means it's junk... but you'll be surprised. If you're looking for something very specific (odd shaped window, door with just the right glass, etc), you may or may not find it. But if you're flexible with what you use, you can get some GREAT bargains! We recently bought some PELLA windows there for about 25% of what retail would be. They were about an inch smaller than we were looking at, but that was easy to add some wood to the window frame. They're also a great source for replacement bathroom vanities & toilets, kitchen sinks & countertops, etc. Just remember that what they have will change from week to week... find something you like a lot, and don't get your heart set on something you saw at Home Depot. more
