Favorite finds from the ReStore

We asked you — our ReStore shoppers — to share favorite items found at a Habitat for Humanity ReStore, and we received an enormous response both on social media and here on the blog.

You told us about furniture, like barrister bookcases and a table from the Chicago Bears players’ dining room. There were also descriptions of fun toys and collectibles like a theatrical fog machine and a “stuffed puppy that barks when you squeeze its tummy.” Of course, there were practical treasures found in the form of do-it-yourself materials like tiles and cabinets, but you also have found one-of-a-kind decorative accents like oil paintings and a chandelier.

Your answers are a great illustration of how ReStores are often a treasure hunter’s dream — and a reminder of all the cool purchases you can make to help fund building in your community and around the world.
