Repurpose Something Old

Summer is a great time to tackle a home project for the entire family or for a child's room. One of our favorite go-to places for repurposing old materials is Habitat for Humanity's Restore.

There are four ReStore locations in the metro. Each store is a resale outlet where donated goods, i.e. home remodeling materials - everything from hardware, tile, and carpet to the proverbial kitchen sink, and furnishings, are sold at a fraction of retail.  This is a great way to buy inexpensive materials and reuse supplies that may otherwise wind up in a landfill, but the proceeds also benefit local Habitat for Humanity affiliates to fund the construction of Habitat homes within the community. Good for the budget, good for the environment, and good cause for the community! Truly a win-win-win!

If you're working on a home project, you'll find paint, carpet squares, tile, bathroom and kitchen fixtures, hardware, some countertops, windows, doors, and much more. The catch is that the store is stocked completely from donations, so you never know what you'll find - but you know the saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." TIP: Watch the Habitat ReStore Kansas City Facebook page for photos of some items and inventory... you'll find truly unique and inspiring treasures.

If you're looking for inexpensive ways to upgrade or update your home or office or a room, ReStore is a great place to look - every bit we do to repurpose and reuse is great stewardship of our environment, and all of the profit goes straight to a worthy cause!
