Thank you, Anonymous

We have a multi-lite door! I had two responses to my Craiglist want ad, but neither of those panned out. (Do contact me if you are in the Cincinnati area and area looking for an ornate, large front door for an older home.) I finally took anonymous’ suggestion and visited Building Value. There, I found my door and much, much more.

Building Value is chock full of vintage doors, windows, sinks, tubs, cabinets, and light fixtures. You can also find tile, carpet, paint, trim, and hardwood flooring. The prices are very reasonable. This isn’t an antique shop. It’s simply a non-profit reuse center with an aim of providing work experience for disadvantaged people. Although winter is the slow season for donations (in the summer they receive new stock every week), I quickly found a suitable door (only $30!) and then spent the remainder of the time dreamily browsing. I seemed to find project inspiration in every aisle. I can’t wait to go back this weekend. So many projects, so little time…
