Follow along as I go to two of my favorite spots looking for treasure. Then I’ll give tips on where you can find some great pieces.
I recorded this on the downlow at The Evanston Rebuilding Warehouse.
The Evanston Rebuilding Warehouse is a non-profit organization that promotes the reduction of waste in landfills through sustainable deconstruction and renovation building practices. Reclaimed building materials are sold at their warehouse at low cost to the community and the proceeds support their education and job-training programs for women or men facing barriers to employment due to any number of factors, including former incarceration.
Habitat ReStores are independently owned reuse stores operated by local Habitat for Humanity organizations that accept donations and sell home improvement items to the public at a fraction of the retail price.
Proceeds are used to help build strength, stability, self-reliance and shelter in local communities and around the world — a good deal for you, your community and the environment.
