THRIFTING TREASURES FOR OUR RENOVATION! : Adventuring Family of 11

[@perilblume]

The cabinet is certainly from Germany. The sticker on the back is actually a train ticket. The cabinet was shipped via train to Köln (Cologne) in May of 1922.

[@WanderLost]

Jude had so much patience holding the camera for y’all!

[@nurhidyawati7328]

Jude is a Very sweet boy👍👍

This peace was made in Germany, Cologne at the river Rhein! I'm German and recognized the language!

I've seen some people use these types of cabinets to display their quilts. Very pretty to see the different colors. I like how you displayed things in it too.

[@mas8844]

Turning this thrifting into business should be commendable...so proud of you guys.

[@delenedaniels2917]

It does not matter what it was used for in the past. The main thing is that you love it and it suits your style and your purpose. I wish your family a happy, prosperous and healthy 2021 with abundant blessings.

[@angelakirchner4811]

I love how funny Megan is she is proud being her!!!! 💕

[@bethknight4436]

This has got to be one of my favorite Knorp and South episodes. I especially loved the musical editing. Thanks for sharing 💕

[@evieartsandcraftlover1079]

The cabinet has its own personality, it’s like a sweet old shakey granny who keeps dropping things 😻 kinda of reminds me of the housewares and furniture from beauty and the beast.

[@jacklyndawson6873]

Can you please do like one video a week that is solely thrifting! It’s the best content

[@fawngeddes6066]

These thrift, second hand stores overwhelm me. I feel my anxiety level going up as you walk through the Wandas.

[@anamoly8677]

My kids and I are so excited for the blessing of the Book...and w such a personal touch! We have all been so blessed by your family and want you to know your appreciated!!!

[@TheRozzyRozz]

You should start a furniture restoration company. You have a designer, wood worker, black smith, and a restorer.

[@ejwilliams2002]

Great idea!!!

nice piece of furniture, great buy Megan! Jude did pretty good as a cameraman and Asher is doing a fine job building the treehouse, please Mike give him a hand to finish his treehouse... he is an awesome kid

[@deedeew4040]

I am not a thrift store person, my anxiety goes through the roof when I am in one. It is fun to watch Megan become excited when she is in one, she knows the history on the piece she is buying. I love antique furniture. I am learning a lot from her.

[@categ4002]

I own several old pieces of family furniture. I am in my seventies so you know they are antiques. If you rub a bar of soap on the bottom runner part of the drawer it helps to make them move easier.

[@jackieh1530]

Love watching you guys collect beautiful pieces of furniture. Gives me incentive to find pieces for my home!

[@lukethomas658]

I hate to burst Asher's bubble, but that was a silent butler, meant for clearing cigarette ashes or crumbs. Bed warmers have longer handles. Really interesting cabinet. Maybe Art Nouveau?

[@heatherhirschi]

oooh! Megan should start hunting for architectural salvage for the new house. Something the builder can build IN to it. You can find amazing things on Craigslist of FB marketplace for reasonable prices for what they are.

[@fancysfolly554]

That cabinet is wonderful. So glad it didn’t slip away. I have some old pieces of furniture...I love them even more for the beauty in their worn finish etc.

[@esthercutts4318]

Hi folks. Mortar and pestle are implements used since ancient times to prepare ingredients or substances by crushing and grinding them into a fine paste or powder in the kitchen, laboratory, and pharmacy. The mortar is a bowl, typically made of hard wood, metal, ceramic, or hard stone, such as granite. SO re your PESTLE..... THE T IS silent =- so it sounds like PESSELL Hope this helps. Love your videos. Many Blessings for the new year..

[@patriciahusk3428]

Love Mike’s narrating in the stores 😂!

[@theresawilson7386]

Living vicariously through you Megan 💜

[@leem200]

That is a find!!!!! Love it.

[@lindahansen9395]

Beautiful find. I wish we had thrift stores in our town like you have in your area. Definitely a linen cabinet. That would be beautiful in your new restored master bathroom when it’s done.

[@loisdisney8688]

I love your newest piece of furniture

[@annette224m]

When Jude was holding the camera, as the two of you were fixing the door , I was so nervous it was going to fall. Then you added in that precarious music, and my anxiety went up🤣 That piece is another beauty. I can picture it in your bathroom , with all your linens displayed, but not matter where it is, it is to be admired. Gorgeous!! TFS😊😊

[@maryohare4141]

Usually, a wood piece, tiny chunk of trim, would be at corner of shelf beneath the shelf. I would move up bottom two shelves, add a center wood track for drawer, Add small metal brackets on inside of glass door...so all is secure. Also, look for a secret compartment at base ....often has hidden hinge so you could hide valuables there. That is a coat and wrap closet, drawer for long evening gloves. Would have been full mirror on front. Sat in foyer or hallway.

[@ShirleyWiggerman]

I love the thrift shop videos. I love thrifting but I can't right now. I love watching you thrift and the crafts you do.

[@cindypate8835]

The linen closet is perfect. My Great Grandma kept her fancy gloves in wood boxes tucked away in hers. It had an simple lead glass design on the oval glass.

[@nicolepapole]

That linen closet is epic. Probably my favorite Knorrp find!!

[@elizabethhutson9767]

Loved the video today. Love your taste in furniture.

[@angelarasmussen1800]

I think collecting all these items is Megan's way of moving forward towards their new home. She can't start the build, but she can collect items for her home.

[@KnorppandSouth11]

That is 100% true.

My fave channel at the moment and a half an hour vlog woohoooo.

[@susanrogers2682]

Love the cabinet. I agree a bathroom with towels and a nice wash basin and pitcher in it to dress it up. some vines around the top would look great I think. Great find. Enjoy

[@EmilyBoltz]

Meghan I work next door to a Restoration Hardware. You would not believe what I have seen them throw into the dumpster. To anyone that reads this, no I have no idea where that cool lamp that was in the dumpster is!

[@Jojo-wj8ex]

Hi Knorpp family - I see someone else has already commented that the 't' in pestle is silent. Also, you showed us some of your lovely plates the other day and one had a picture of Belvoir Castle, England, on it - Belvoir is pronounced 'Beaver' and is from the French word that translates as, 'beautiful view'. Hope that little bit of info is of interest to you. Love watching you thrift - so jealous, as we don't have such big thrift stores here in the UK 💗

[@debbieomi]

Pronouncing pestle with the t is also perfectly acceptable and correct.

[@paulina2733]

The cabinet is from Köln Germany . So here in Germany we have a lot of shops where you can by that kind of old cabinets but its very expensive. So you have made a great deal :)

[@CSmith-tn8nv]

I’m sorry negative people have driven Megan away from the comment section.

[@drewb3054]

Estate sales are so fun, treasure hunt while also touring a house. Like thrifting and house hunting all in one.

[@dorinah313]

I got really excited about the tag on the piece of furniture and commented on the first comment about it. Then I saw many more comments and decided to make a new comment sharing what I understand of it and taking into account other people's suggestions. Feel free to correct me and fill in the gaps ;) The tag on the back of the piece of furniture is German and says that it was taken to Cologne from Klein Steinheim (near Frankfurt) by train: 1. Line: Eisenbahndirektionsbezirk: Frankfurt am Main (railway administration district Frankfurt by the river Main, so the company responsible for the transport maybe?) 2. line: Zeichen und ? oder Adresse: GBS 126 (sign and? or address: 3 letters - maybe GBS - and 126) 3. Line: Von Station: Klein Steinheim (from station: Klein Steinheim) 4. line: Am Mai 22 (on date May 22. It could be the 22nd of May, but in German the day is usually written before the month, so day/month/year. There is also space left to put the exact day, so I would go with other commenters of this video and suggest that it's may in 1922) 5. line: Nach Station: Köln Rhein (to station: Cologne by the river Rhein) 6. line: Empfangsbahnhof (station of the destination) Part on the left side: Abs.:?? Steinheim (abs is short for Absender which is the person sending the object. I can't read the first two words, I assume it's a familyname. The last word is Steinheim again. I hope this is helpful :)

[@carolinechia6213]

Megan I uses the pestel for pounding garlic, ginger and chilli together to make a paste for seasoning meat or for frying black sauce prawns. I love using it. 😊

[@Madetha2301]

The cabinet looks like 1850s-ish. My great-great-grandparents from the Rhein area made good money in the bicycle industry at the time and we still have a lot furniture like it in my family here in Germany. Looks very similar.

[@DWDinAtlanta]

I thought the cabinet was German. It is beautiful. I can't wait to see it used in your finished home! HUGS~Donna

[@moonshayde]

Adding my 2 cents worth on your new cabinet. It's possibly a Renaissance Victorian Linen press from Germany. The centre oval was most likely to have been a piece of wood which has been replaced with glass...probably because the wooden oval panel had become damaged or cracked from age.

[@marilynreichenbach9220]

Pretty cool to take us along thrifting! Very fun video! Gorgeous cabinet. Happy New Year Knorpp Family!!🎉

Restoration Hardware started in 1979 in Eureka, Ca. It went much bigger, magazine and online sales, I think in the 90's. I had lived in Eureka for 17 years and it was located in Old Town where we had a business.

[@GenevieveEKelly]

Yes, I remember it well and visited often in Old Town, Eureka. I miss that Eureka: when things were still quiet. 🥰 I can still see RH in my mind’s eye. Later they went upscale and into places like the Village in Corte Madera.

[@gthornton3]

That piece is amazing.

[@connieahrens1439]

For bigger pieces try auctions, estate sales, tag or garage sales, and also restoration building centers that tear down old buildings and sell the contents. I bought a huge butlers pantry cabinet and an old back bar for my home, for a fraction of what it would have cost to build. Love hunting antiques.

[@monicaw5036]

In Mexican dishes they use a molcajete, which is made from lava rock, it is very porousa and will wear down with use. You're never supposed to wash them with cleaners, only rinse if totally necessary, but mainly just wipe out. You will notice them get very deep after many uses, my grandmother's was super deep from all her years using it. I'm not sure you'll get the same outcome with anything beside lava rock.. hope this helps. Oh and any Mexican stores should sell them😉

[@bobgrauer]

To reinstall the Cabinet door take the bottom pivot out, then push the door up onto the upper pivot then push the lower pivot up into the hole in the door with the door at 90 degrees to the cabinet replace the bottom pivot screws. It is also possible that the upper and lower pivots have both been taken off the cabinet at same time and reversed their position top where bottom should be and bottom where top should be, I think the longer pivot should be on the top, this would only be the case if the door will pass over the lower pivot when pushed all the way up onto the top one then lower it over the lower pivot.

[@jenniferhamlin5073]

That cabinet is stunning, so happy for your find. Happy New Year Knorpp Family!

Love your channel. Megan is obviously very creative and sees things no one can at times. I forget which son is beginning to enjoy working with metal and steel but I'm wanted to let you know I watch a channel called the Mills family, they live is wyoming, 9 children, momma passed away last year and Dad is handling it all. Anyway, one of the boys named Judah has his own channel on U-Tube and love working with steel. His dad even got him a small kind of forge for him. He has filmed alot if what he makes and had now even made a suit armour, his style. I thought your son would really enjoy watching Judah's channel and seeing how he creates things. It could really help him and give him ideas. They might even become friends. They are a beautiful God loving family. Check them out. Mills family is the channel Tom, the dad does and Judah Mills is one of his sons with his own channel. God bless you all and Happy New Year to you!! 🙋‍♀️ Hugs from Karen in Iowa 🤗

16:05 The sticker on the back of the cabinet is from the Railway Office in Frankfurt on the Main (river). The Adress is abbreviated G.B.S. 126, which can be either"Georg-Busch-Straße" (G.B. Street) No. 126 in Hanau-Steinheim, or "Gutenbergstraße" (Gutenberg Street) No. 126 in Hanau-Klein Auheim. I guess it would be the first Adress. On May 22 (it doesn't say the year !!!) it was sent to Cologne (="Köln on the Rhein" (river)) I daresay to make it to the US it either went further on trains via Belgium and the Netherlands to a major port (like Rotterdam) to make its way across the Atlantic. First of all the print is old, like that used in the 1930s and the handwriting is also an obsolete one, used by people born before 1900.This specific handwriting is called "Sütterlin". I wonder why there is no name decipherable, perhaps it was only the sticker for the transport, leaving out the owner's name or the one who sent it off. It all is a mystery and it is probably worthwhile to check into inhabitant lists from Hanau-Steinheim around the 1930s, comparing citizen lists in North Carolina, people who immigrated during the 1930s or 1940s to that state. Good Luck in your search for former owners! Have a wonderful new year, despite all the hazards worldwide. Yours Marianne

Gorgeous cabinet! My husband is from the Azores & they have lots of Portuguese pottery like the piece you found . They also have a lot of the blue & white pottery( dishes) like you have. Good quality & beautiful. 🐔

[@abbyski]

I heard Chris Kimball discuss the mortar and pestle vs. a food processor this past year (either on America's Test Kitchen, Cook's Illustrated, or Milk Street) and a mortar and pestle will crush the cells of the spices/herbs/etc, which releases much more flavor than a food processor, which cuts and shreds the food material.

For the linen closet, you could make a mold of the broken piece from the good piece on the left. I'm sure there are more experienced crafters that could tell you how. It's pretty easy.

[@grandmak.]

Wow, this new bargain of yours is exciting and beautiful ! I have a piece of furniture ( in German it's called ' Sekretär' ) that has the same kind of wooden ornaments on it. My grandparents found it during WW2 in an abandoned basement of a house here in northern Germany they had just bought and it has been in the family ever since. I'm actually sitting at it while writing this and I'm all thrilled to see something very similar over at your place. The tag on the back of your wardrobe says it't from Cologne. I guess it used to be either for clothes ( the shelves put in later) or a linen cabinet.
