They are not original and I fully plan to have doors made according to our original plans, when the ship comes in. We don't have any Eastlake doors Greg or I'd save them for you. I did see a 5 or 6 piece Eastlake living room set in Bakersfield -- all original fabric and finish -- for about $2500. It's been there a while. I'd buy it if it were our style and if I had $2000.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-1126572049171377282005-09-12T17:40:00.000-07:002005-09-12T17:40:00.000-07:00I've seen the Kovell's go on it on their TV show. ...I've seen the Kovell's go on it on their TV show. And I think Kristen (Victorian)mentioned it also. From what I know it stretches across at least a few states and it's called "the world's longest yard sale." I see myself retired someday or if I'm lucky with a summer off again and taking a road trip. Maybe I'll do a post on it.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13570623978361702328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-1126565087599878522005-09-12T15:44:00.000-07:002005-09-12T15:44:00.000-07:00No, palms do well here.

The door would be at least 3 hundred, if it wasn't warped or anything. Jocelyn is right - great to have a vehicle when you see these things. I always keep an eye out for people renovating houses in my neighborhood, because they often throw out doors, and I have scored a couple, but my other problem is that I don't have anywhere to store them. Arghhh! Being a packrat (savvy salvager, I mean) takes so much SPACE! <BR/>PS - Thanks for the applause - I left a comment.<BR/>I heard Crash was great as well, but will probably catch it on DVD. I always miss seeing things at the movie theatre, just don't make the time.

I saw one in similar condition at Ohmega Salvage in Berkeley for $185 dollars! It is the old law of supply and demand. Like Chicago, there are just more people with more money in The Bay Area.<BR/><BR/>There is company in India making new Eastlake Doors out of “Tropical Hardwood”. There is an antique store locally that sells them for $750. At Ohmega Salvage that same “Tropical Hardwood” Eastlake Door is $950.<BR/><BR/>http://www.ohmegasalvage.com/Showroom%20Pages/doors&gates.htmGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-1126476415496767742005-09-11T15:06:00.000-07:002005-09-11T15:06:00.000-07:00I agree with your take on Ferndale.

After seeing the photos on your blog I have told a few people about how amazing it looks from what you've shown. <BR/><BR/>I am totally jealous of the price you paid for that door! This is one of those things that having a car or truck comes in handy (you know we don't). We have a few missing doors in our place. They are simple oak 2 paneled doors, not uncommon but I believe they usually go for at least $100 painted and no hardware around these parts- so cruel!<BR/><BR/>Someday, I want to hit that "world's longest yard sale"- have you heard of that?<BR/><BR/>I did see Crash and I won't say I thought it was a bad movie, but it just seemed like they dwelled on the worst and most extreme bad behavior. I didn't like that- I prefer to see the best in people- but I know some people who really liked it probably for some of the reasons you did.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13570623978361702328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-1126445242516050972005-09-11T06:27:00.000-07:002005-09-11T06:27:00.000-07:00I just now saw a preview of it and told my daughte...I just now saw a preview of it and told my daughter we must see it.
