WOOHOO, ReStore!!!

Are y'all familiar with the Habitat for Humanity ReStores??? If not, they are warehouses run by Habitat for Humanity where stores, contractors, and individuals donate unwanted items for resale. You can get all sorts of things REALLY cheap! And the proceeds benefit Habitat for Humanity!
I always try to remember to check our local ReStore when I'm doing some improvements and I hit paydirt today! I really, really wanted new door pulls for my newly painted cabinets but, geez, they're about $3 each for even the simple ones. I needed 40!
There was no way I was going to spend over $120 just for cabinet knobs!
But a big woohoo to the ReStore! I found gorgeous, carved black cabinet pulls for 50 cents each and they actually had a box of the same design so I bought my 40!
I need to measure my kitchen window and then go back because they had a nice set of white indoor shutters for just $15. I'm hoping I can make them fit my kitchen window. They would look SO smart and be a huge improvement on blinds!
The ReStore is awesome -- they have all sorts of lighting, plumbing fixtures, electrical supplies, tile, furniture, you name it! And they get new stuff coming in almost every day. Check it out, if you haven't already!
Here's Habitat's website so y'all can check if there's a ReStore near your location!
