I just don't love the prices so much. They're expensive, and I'm cheap. Bad combination. I have always loved to browse in this place. I just don’t love the prices so much.

Having said that I love the look and the lamp in the 3rd picture looks fantastic - although I bet it takes two strong men to lift it! I thought our place was cluttered until I saw the photos…

I have found so many useful replacement pieces there. The doorknobs may be $12 each, but it feels like they fit onto the old doors so much better than rinky-dink made-in-China numbers from the Home Depot. Prince, I second Steve's recommendation that you go to the Warehouse at 57 N St NW. Much cheaper, much fuller of numerous parts you didn't realize went into the building or unbuilding of a house.

It is basically and architectural salvage yard. Its where I go to find parts for my house that are not made anymore. You guys should check out the warehouse on the unit block of M St in NW.

I first got there about 1987, 1988 or so... Old Adams Morgan was really very very cool. I still miss Retro-spective, the antique store where the Maggie Moos is now. 27 years?
