So I don't need to be told Mike Myers' last movie The Love Guru was terrible -- one could have just pretty much assumed it would be based on the ridiculous trailers. But bad movie aside, here's some fun news for those of you that like a bit of Arabian nights mystique in your home.
Style North reveals that the movie, filmed in Toronto, has tossed away much of its set into the hands of various Toronto area
ReStores who are in turn selling all this fun stuff for next to nothing. And if you've ever looked the price tag of an antique Indian door you know how much these things go for. Scattered throughout Toronto now are various bits of decorative moldings, arches, pillars, antique doors and screens as well as bits of pretty jewel coloured glassware.
You can get these doors for $400, the screens for $200 at the Etobicoke ReStore and they can make cool headboards when done right. The planter below is $100 and the pretty glass things are priced from $2 - $30 at the East York ReStore. Also at that ReStore are the coffee tables below which I think look great outside.
Maybe don't buy it all though. Small doses.......small tiny doses.
