Leclair regularly stops in at e
Restore Warehouse to check for pieces
that might fit well into the personal
collection he uses for his store and for
others. On one recent visit he found
several, including the file cabinet, the
leather chair and the draing table.
Wing nuts on the side of the table
allow the top to be adjusted so that it
sits either flat or at an angle.
Draing tables were once
common in nearly every engineering
department or architectural office,
inspiring the phrase "back to the
drawing board" for having to try again
when something doesn't work.
"My grandfather was an engineer,"
Leclair said. "He always had one in his
office."
While Leclair scoured the
warehouse for unusual finds,
McMillan explained that net profits
made from warehouse sales go to
organizations that help those in
need. Over the last 20 years, Re-Store
Warehouse has donated more than $1
million to nonprofit organizations. It
also helps that because the business
sells new and used building and
renovation supplies to the public at
thriy prices, people can outfit their
homes affordably.
McMillan is happy to see
everything go, even that vintage
draing table
"I don't get emotionally attached to
any of it; I don't fall in love with it,"
McMillan said. "I just view it as an
opportunity to make money for those
less fortunate. ere's nothing here
that was here when I got here."
Friends have enlisted Leclair's help
in decorating their own places,
which brought him to this home in
the Kingsford subdivision which will
be on the market as soon as Leclair
finishes staging the inside.
