Old yet new!



As much as we here at the Old House love the beauty of patina only created by years of use and weather on our old house parts, there is something really special and exciting about finding new/old stock.



Something about the idea of retro hardware neatly tucked inside its original box --- or snuggled in a sealed envelope --- whiling away the years in some dark corner or over-full garage is really appealing.



Recently unearthed --- These fantastic bathroom sconces in deco styling. they've never been installed and are in perfect condition. They even have a date stamp on the back -- NOV 17, 1954.



We have them here for you ready and waiting to fulfill their lighting destiny...finally...after 50 years!



We have THREE pairs... get them before they're gone.

Happy 75th Birthday, Dick!


Today is Dick Turnbull's 75th Birthday! His wife, Margaret organized a surprise Birthday party for him last night. Margaret did a great job of sneakily bringing family and friends together. And the best part of all -- the surprise party was indeed a complete surprise! Dick had no idea what excitement the evening would hold when he left work for “early dinner reservations with his family”. Many special guests travelled from out of town to celebrate with Dick.
We are very happy to have this stained glass expert in-house — come say hello, see his work and wish him Happy Birthday when he's in the store - Tuesdays to Saturdays! Happy Birthday, Dick!
