Whether it's your first time shopping at Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity ReStore or you're a regular customer, when you visit our stores you may come across some unique items you didn't expect from a home improvement outlet. Of course, we sell furniture and hardware, but did you know we also sell affordable interior paint (starting at $18/gallon) and so much more? 

Unique Items Found at the Twin Cities ReStore

  • Appliances Save big on appliance purchases by opting to buy second-hand. ReStore receives lots of appliance donations including refrigerators, freezers, stoves, dryers, and hood vents. All items are clean, in good working order, and are under 10 years old!
  • Estate sale goods – We often find ourselves with furniture and antique woodworking tools from estate sales. If you come across a dated dresser that needs a little TLC, check out our blog on restoring old wood furniture.
  • Kitchen cabinets – It may be rare to find a full set of kitchen cabinets or a highly coveted sink base at our store, but we do receive a lot of individual cabinets that can serve as a great storage solution. You can save a lot of money buying gently used cabinets rather than the hefty cost of new or custom cabinets for your kitchen remodel.
    Not sure what you're looking for? Here are some tips and tricks for buying new or used kitchen cabinets.
  • Home cleaning items – While you're perusing the aisles, pick up some housekeeping supplies like a mop, broom, or dust pan. They're cheaper and still do the same great job.
  • Rough-sawn lumber – We receive a lot of leftover building materials including rough-sawn lumber. So, if you're looking for inexpensive lumber for your next home project, we may have just what you need. We also stock lawn, garden, and landscaping supplies seasonally.
  • Unique light fixtures – There may be nothing more functional and fun than light fixtures, and we have a lot of them. We even have outdoor light fixtures. Looking for some inspiration? Here are some creative outdoor lighting ideas.
  • Affordable interior paint – No, we don't mean cheap as in the quality. We mean high-quality yet inexpensive. So, whether you're looking to update old furniture with paint or paint the exterior of your home, we have a vast selection of colors to choose from.
