It's great to go and wander around the store every month or so to see what's new in store.

They were having an art gallery setup with a live band and catering. How they fit a live band into their shop is a magical mystery to me. We also got a cash discount for the sideboard we bought.

At first, I was ecstatic, I liked so much of what I was looking and running my hands over. The pieces: stunning. The styles? Well let's just say that I contemplated blowing my perfect credit score over them. I was there for 5-10 minutes. Two people sat at the desk in the back. Neither glanced my way, not even a head nod. I guess I don't look like the sectional buying type, or perhaps it was because I was with a friend and we were chatting... I would have continued to hang around to ask a question or two, but once I realized that the cigarette smoke was circulating because of the two of them, a wave of disgust engulfed me.

Modern living room furniture, from luxuriously upholstered couches and chaise lounges, uniquely built desks, tables and chairs, to new-shag carpets (don't be scared of shag, it can look pretty interesting and this newer version is far less um, dirty looking than its 70's cousin...), Bombast pieces have a vibe all their own. Lighting options include ornately carved floor lamps and Dutch wall light fixtures. I am especially interested in a simply designed bed frame with attached bedside table and optional upholstered back splash on the headboard.

And this ain't old, outdated furniture from the 80s. They have a wide selection of modern, fashionable items that can appeal to people of all ages.

9/1/2012; 10:00 A.M. Event: Furniture Garage sale Mission: Upgrade ageing couch…read more As we drove nondescript building on a secluded street east of Granville island, there were no parking spots. One look at my driver she knew we needed to double back around the building. A parking spot appeared out of nowhere and we at the door as the gates rouse. What felt like 150 people but really was only half that rushed in the parking lot area looking for bargain furniture. The Garage was dark the only colours clearly were black and white, displays started with the kitchen chairs dining tables bed frames and mattresses in warped in plastic bags like unused condoms. Our mission was a New Couch; we needed to get to the upper level of the garage before the others. We made our way past commission salesmen that all wanted us to know their names, sorry guys you're all buddy to me today. There were day labours dressed in company tee shits standing around waiting to use their strong backs to move the closed deals. In what felt like forever but took less than 90 seconds we moved to the parking lots living room display area. A few dozen couches and love seats were there to choose from. Our goal find a couch that meet our aesthetic needs and will fit into our modest condo space. In the end it narrowed down to your three classic choices. Two White Leather Natuzzi pieces and unbranded fabric couch that just seemed so bland. With Split second accuracy we looked at each after sitting on the White Couch and Love Seats they were both so comfortable, but we decided we are just not White Couch people after-all and removed ourselves from the madness of the event and spent a wonderful day at the beach instead.

Packed into the Lab's small space is a number of nifty teak sideboards, record cabinets, chairs and other Danish modern furnishings and housewares for my soon-to-be groovier living room.

There's plenty of mid century furniture to choose from and upon inspection of some of their refinished items, they do an incredible job. Like with vintage and hard wood furnitures, some of the pieces are not cheap but they're unique and will last a long time. The other plus to this store is their kitschy (and sometimes original) art pieces and tchotchkes. I prefer this place to the shop in the Quay so I'll most likely come back as a few items tweaked my fancy (especially the sunburst table) and I'll be sure to let people know about this place.

And the other useful services they offer are upcycling your used furniture and a finding service in which you can submit photographs of what you're looking for and have the store help you in your search. Very nifty! Overall, L'Atelier offers extensive services and a remarkable array of home decor, and the people have never failed to provide excellent hospitality. This is definitely one of my favourite shops in the area for all these reasons!
