Styrofoam strips for multiple uses (Petworth/Brightwood Park)
Expired
Styrofoam strips have many unexpected uses, for example on the backs of framed pictures, so they rest easily on walls without scraping the paint. Or as a heat or cold shield, or under furniture to prevent floor-scratching. Not required to take all, just what you need from my porch. Respond for address.

Cords, power strip hidey box (Petworth/Brightwood Park)
Gifted
Attractive box with clear reeded plastic front that lifts up, and with holes in the back, to conceal unsightly plugs, cords, and/or power strip. 10.5” side to side, 4.5” tall, 5.25” front to back. Off-white with copper-colored trim. I ordered 2, but only needed one.

Free:
IKEA TV/record-player console bench (Brightwood Park/Petworth DC)
Gifted
Sturdy IKEA wood (MDF?) TV/entertainment bench, but useful in many other ways. Size: 83” side to side 15” front to back 14” top to bottom. Prior owners put record albums in its compartments. They gave to me via Trash Nothing and I used as a shoe bench at entry hall, where one could sit while putting on shoes stored underneath. Later I stood it on end to use as a bookshelf for a few years. You will need two people to load it in station wagon, van, SUV, or hatchback (or XL Uber). It shows some wear, I.e. chips in its finish, but structure is still very sound.

Free:
Black media console gold hware (Brightwood Park/Petworth DC)
Gifted
Media console with attractive arched fluted windows and gold handles and feet. Has 3 compartments, each has 2 shelves. I stored books in it but just bought a bookcase, plus got a more compact media console that better fits the space. So this one’s up for grabs! Dimensions: 66” side to side; 25” top to bottom; 16.5” front to back. Chip on front edge, easily disguised with dab of paint.

Strap patent leather shoes size 7 (Brightwood Park/Petworth DC)
Gifted
Love these but only wore twice. They’re my size, & beautiful—but the toe box is too short for one of my big toes so it gets painful. If you have normal-sized toes, these are ideal!

Picturesque metal pitcher (Brightwood Park/Petworth DC)
Gifted
Handsome, weathered metal (at least part copper, see verdigris) pitcher. I used to put flowers in it. Not using it much anymore. It needs a new home.

Cabinet door supply shelf (Brightwood Park/Petworth DC)
Expired

Request:
Cat puzzles (Brightwood Park/Petworth DC)
Received
A highlight of my cat’s day is playing with a toy that requires him to nudge, bat, slide, or jiggle something that opens to reveal a treat inside. I have 3, plus a Kong ball, all of which he enjoys, but he could use more. Before I buy a new plastic thing, thought I’d ask if anyone has any they don’t need. Of course I’d pick up. Many thanks.

Letter box plate (brass?) (Brightwood Park/Petworth DC)
Expired
Google Lens indicates this thing is part of a through-the-door mail slot. Dunno why it’s in my house with the original screws (wrapped in painters tape). It looks like old brass that will shine up well. The china-marker lettering will wipe off.

Free:
Shark stick vacuum (Brightwood Park/Petworth DC)
Gifted
Lightweight sweeper-type vacuum machine. Good as an auxiliary vacuum, for example for use upstairs or in basement. It is a plug-in. I wound up with 3 other vacuum cleaners and simply don’t use this anymore.

Red table “Memphis” style (Brightwood Park/Petworth DC)
Gifted
Vintage IKEA table that I tried to adapt as a coffee table, but at 59” long, it was just too big for the room. Added slanted legs to lower the height but have original table-height legs. Table is kinda kidney-shaped, painted red on top. All wood. Could be a plant table as well.
