I thought I would show a few of the deals we've found during the renovation process. Habitat Restore (http://www.habitat.org/) has become one of our favorite places for shop. We found an old set of french doors for $25 each (as opposed to $100 each). It took some work to sand and paint them but well worth it.
Another great find at the Restore is the kitchen sink. It's composite granite and was on our wish list but WAY out of price range. We couldn't believe it when we saw it for $150 (regularly $300-400). It was brand new so maybe a builder had it laying around and decided to donate it. Thank you!!
And last but not least is the desk for $100. I wish I had taken a before picture so you could see how old it looked. All I did was roughly sand it then painted it black using the oil based paint I used in the kitchen. It's amazing how much paint can change a piece of furniture.
