As you all probably know Habitat for Humanity is a charity that helps build homes for those in need, but did you know they have ReStores where you can buy or donate home building items? Items such as cabinets, old doors, old windows, paint, hardware, lighting, appliances…..Everything!
I was so Thrilled to find one near me.

This is what I purchased on my first visit:
An old drawer for $1.50
And these 2 old door knobs for .50 cents each.
I painted the drawer white, sanded the edges, and then added this vintage house number 3 that I had found a long time ago.
I made a rope handle by stringing rope through the existing holes.
It now sits on the shelf in my kitchen holding delicious red organic apples.
The hardware got painted.
First, I used a brown to get rid of the shiny brass, and then I painted the indents blue and wiped off until it looked like this…
I added the hardware to the cabinet in the bathroom.
I have taken a few more new pictures of the bathroom and will be posing them soon.
Thanks for stopping by,
Emily
