The Foundry Thrift Store in Bessemer

The mister and I were near our old stomping grounds over the weekend so decided to stop in at our old Friday night haunt -- the Foundry Thrift Store. Now, we all know that MCM never really hit Birmingham like it did in other cities, But every now and then you find a gem. Not that these are gems in particular, but they are definitely options. You can have all four pieces for less than $100. So give thrifts a chance!

  1. Just stumbled across your site today and I love it. I have 1961 custom MCM over in VH, that you have a picture for from when it was for sale. The one on Indian Hill Rd back in June 2010. We bought it a year later.

    We are in the process of slowly redoing parts of the house and in re-landscaping it. Going to clean it up and put in some tall thin "pencil" trees int he front and eliminate the holly bushes that have turned into trees.

    Like you, we started in a bungalow in Crestwood North (over by the dead-end going into the park) and have migrated to MCM.

    Again, great site.

  2. Welcome aboard, Brooks!

    I think you've got a great house, there. The little courtyard and the whole finished basement are pretty cool. You'll have to send us some pics of the landscaping when you're through. We can use you as an example to show people "yes, you CAN make that yard look great again!". I shall be the first partake of the pep talk, as I and my poor little abode are more in need of it than anyone I can imagine.
