Second Chance Revisted!

Guess who headed down an hour south to spend her Saturday sweating in a series of warehouses? If you guessed that Pete and I hit up Second Chance in Baltimore again, you'd be right. We wanted to check out their lumber situation, since we're going to be in need of a million 2x4's once the garage gets started. Plus it is always a fun trip to just poke around a little bit. Even if in the process of poking around that means you sweat off a pound or two.


They didn't have any lumber that was going to suit our needs, so we walked away empty handed ultimately.


I got lost in the door selection of the warehouses. Look at all them! All the fantastic treasures that were among the piles and piles of doors. We're definitely coming back once we have an actual need for some more doors.


This one was a favorite, I loved the glass insert space and the wee mail slot!


Adorable factory cart! They had plenty and we really wanted to get one but alas they were out of our current budget. Maybe next time!

  4. @ monique- the carts were $450 each. I just checked an vintage carts are being sold by Restoration Hardware about for $1200... gulp.

    @kate, it is really fun to just walk around and look at all neat items. A fun, yet super sweaty, way to spend an afternoon. we found out about second chance by chatting up an antique dealer, so maybe there is something like it in your area!

  8. @ Kat, Pete was chatting up a antique dealer one day and the dealer just mentioned that if we liked salvage items that we should check out this place in MD. Places like this can be hard to find sometimes with Google, word of mouth is how most of them work!
