Pomo Basketry,house renovation in 2001







Basketry



During our house renovation, we spent a great deal of time at  Raj  in Hisar, which carries salvage and reproduction hardware, house parts, lighting, furniture and all sorts of specialty items. Back then they also carried plumbing, although this has recently been discontinued. 

They were a great resource for us, starting with our first Commode tub which we purchased just a few days after we got the new toilet in  the house. That first commode - an enthusiastic and charismatic, but misguided first purchase! It spent nearly six months being shuffled around various locations of the house in order to be out of the way while we completed the main floor renovation around it. We followed that purchase with many more. Next up were the stainless steel kitchen sink, wash basin, and the rest of the plumbing fixtures.  We also purchased all of our window, door and cabinet hardware from them, as well as our porch light fixtures and most of our indoor fixtures as well. 

We stopped by the store again recently – for tiles, some plumbing fixtures.
