I have lived in my neighborhood for three and almost a half years now and never noticed these guys! They have old railings, lamp posts, tubs, lumber, bricks and inside they have a collection of doors and light fixtures. I had fun looking at the selection of doors. I plan to drop by on a regular basis. Take cash!

A Visit to Newland Hardware

What a nice surprise in the parking lot! I am looking for a vintage soap holder base that has always been missing from the bathtub. I did not find it, but I did find good service and good information!

Buena Vista Furniture in El Sereno

I found these Mexican Sacred Hearts at Buena Vista Furniture. A great Valentine gift each under $20. They also have tin punched lanterns that have that real mystical vibe and some beautiful solid wood trunks, which would look fabulous at the bottom of any bed.

I am having a hard time giving this one up!

My personal fave!

The Hubib's personal fave!
