Yep, the difference between Home Depot and Lowe's is quite clear. HD never has a distressed rack so I don't waste my time there.
Off the plant subject, but on to the dumpster diving subject....we do repaints at student housing apartments here in Gainesville, it happens every August. We have gained wicker furniture, end tables, patio furniture, clothing, kitchen appliances, area rugs and so many other things.
Parents set their young people up with all they need to live, and when they leave, they see no value in keeping any of these things.
It's where I found my last boyfriend.
