Today we went out to ReHouse to find some shutters that would work for the exterior or 1155 S Plymouth. ReHouse is a great local resource for reclaimed or antique items. It's located out in Greece on West Ridge Rd. We don't get a ton of stuff here, but when we need a specific piece to fill in a gap when Home Depot or Lowe's won't cut it...we head to ReHouse. | |
As soon as we pulled up we saw this pile of wood in the back of the parking lot. Yesterday we decided on pallet wood for part of the project at 1155 S Plymouth. It is perfect. So we head in to find out if they were selling it. We are waiting to hear back on pricing. Hopefully it comes together because it's just what we're looking for.
We walk in and see this butcher paper roll. This is literally on my vision board for the interior design for this project. Perfect. I must have it! It's part of their sign...not for sale...blah...blah...blah...
The owner thinks his wife might have another one. My hopes are back up. She's already sold it. Damn it.

Joe went down stairs to find shutters that were the right size and I wandered around looking for some other pieces for the interior of 1155 S Plymouth Ave and I captured some items that I thought were amazing. If you are feeling like taking on a project...ie channeling your inner Joanna/Chip Gaines...or you have a place in your house that is missing some character...head over and pick up one of these items!
I love boxes. I feel like I can put them everywhere...the table in the foyer for mail...or all the crap, I mean stuff...i mean artwork that comes home in my kids folders, next to the chair in the living room with magazines, in the kitchen by the sink for soap and a sponge, in the bathroom for some wash cloths. That big thing with the drawers. Is that a card catalog?? Well, it's a amazing and would be perfect in a living room with a little clean up. Those pieces of molding would be perfect on a book shelf as book ends, or just as a stand alone piece.
It goes without saying...I need this! But don't we all...LOL.
