Project Demo: Turn over these ideas!


We are excited and looking forward to our very first Wednesday evening with extended store hours.




For the month of July the Old House will be open late on Wednesday evenings until 7pm.




We have a series of fun activities planned for each evening we'll be open.




First up, on July 2 & 9, 2008:


What to do with all those sad little door knobs that can no longer function as door knobs but are just to nice to throw away and....


What about all those impossibly beautiful door knobs that we just don't have enough doors for?


With just a little bit of time and some easy to find materials those door knobs can be recycled for new purposes --- they make great hooks for coats or can be used as tie backs for curtains.


We also enjoy seeing them hung on the wall as art.


We'll show you how...step by step and we'll have project samples on display.


Wednesday July 2 and 9

Open - 11:30 until 7pm.

Do we have crocks?



We could not resist the opportunity to acquire a large collection of crocks, mostly Medalta, in varying sizes from little to big 10 quart vats! The possibilities are endless: store some kitchen or garden utensils, use as an umbrella stand, store your magazines, plant a plant, the skies the limit! Come see our display... you can't miss it when you walk in the door!

Treat your Father to a walk down Memory Lane!


I can't believe it's nearly is June 15th. Father's Day is is around the corner! Here is an idea for a special way to spend the day with Dad. Take him for a walk through the Old House Revival Company and stir up some good memories of his past. See what stories of his childhood are evoked when you visit the store. Or inspire him to projects future!
