Post renovation sale , I’m getting rid of a bunch of stuff, but want to give away as much of the useful things as I can.
I’m going to try to put photos on the blog of some things. 

Bed frames
1. Brand NEW in the box IKEA Twin Malm single bed with storage drawers in white. In the box never opened. ( we changed our minds on one room)/. I have all the parts including slats. If you look at the Ikea catalogue you can see it ( I don’t think we can post links ). No mattress.
2. Used Ikea Malm king size bed frame with 4 storage drawers. Now Unassembled in birch wood colour. Used and Not in perfect condition. But free if anyone wants it , A LOT of storage in the 4 drawers

Set of 12 small and 12 large water glasses. Stackable. Original packaging. All in good condition. ( was a set of 16 so we lost a few) . But actually, a decent set.

Drapes and nice drapery hardware.
Drapes, 1 blue paisley? Floral large window floor length with some hardware. Could be used as a drapery or tablecloth.
2. Some Ikea White linen curtains floor length. Some new, some used. White linen. Once again could be repurposed into many things you want white linen for.
3.   5 or more.  Solid wood round Drapery rods, 5 of them /. several in longer lengths. With wooden round Rod holders and some hardware. Also, might be easily repurposed.

Other items Tensile shower rod black. ( useful when renovating or for temporary shower? ). 

Dresser / very dated but good condition. Reasonably nice full-length mirror in antique wood frame. 

A few lamps etc.

I am around if you want to see any of it, will be at home most of this weekend ie Saturday or Sunday if folks want to drop by. Maybe call first in case I am swimming.
