One of the better lighting shops in Sydney I dare say. Pearl Lighting stocks an array of unique,…read morequirky and beautiful lights at stunningly reasonable prices. My family has been shopping here for years and we've collected a fantastic display of talking point lights and lamps. I recently went into Pearl Lighting to pick up a gift and I couldn't resist a beautiful bankers lamp which was on sale for $77. As for what I was after, well the glass rose shaped lamp shade was on sale for, wait for it, $5. Amazing! These guys also stock interesting knick knacks like reproduced world globes. I've been looking for a world globe for ages and I finally found it. Sure it isn't vintage but it looks it. Guess how much? $60. So great. Highly, highly recommended.

It looks almost like a high-end store out of the 1950's. Immaculate décor, tidy shelves and…read moredisplays, and a fairly stuck up sales lady. The shop sells gifts, furniture, women's clothing and homewares, all very reminiscent of the 'old times'. Tablecloths with pretty floral patterns, A-line dresses, white ceramic trinkets, doilies, for the love of god. It's actually really cute. The colour schemes are great, I love the patterns they have, and they have some truly unique furniture pieces, the kind that you wouldn't expect to be factory-made. Intricate little vanities, white, ornate chests of drawers... that kind of thing. While any of this would look terribly out of my place in my living area, there are plenty who enjoy home décor of this sort, so if you're one of them, give it a look.

Loganberry Lane (which sounds like the street address for a character from Anne of Green Gables to…read moreme) is a lovely gift shop chock full of a huge range of clothing, accessories and homeware. While a little heavy on the scented candles for my taste, there's a whole room of babies clothes, toys and gifts for kids, and a smaller one out the back which has a range of women's cotton nightwear of the white and floaty variety. There's also some women's clothing, also mostly of cotton, including some brands like Boom Shankar that I have seen priced much more expensively elsewhere. There's the odd real bargain hiding in here, as well as a few local and handmade items, including a small range of locally produced fudge locked away in a coolbox.

Craig, does not hold back on putting in precision quality and effort. More importantly, Craig's expertise was demonstrated time and again on the little design & construction details that ended in an amazing finish both aesthetically and functionally. The highest level of professionalism and very well priced. I fully recommend Craig and his team! It's one time you'll look back and say that was the best decision you made! Craig also had some great connections with excellent competent and reasonably priced contractors for other works we had done.

I seem to be drawn back to this corner of Artarmon for all sorts of odd reasons - it's home to an…read moremixed collection of warehouses and distributors that need space. Sure enough, Dickson Avenue has a sizeable showroom, with attention drawn via a display of candy coloured plastic wicker outdoor chairs on the sidewalk. It's a good source of outdoor furniture - both the plastic weave stuff and more traditional teak. Staff are attentive and interested - they want to chat through your needs at length and propose alternatives and ideas, which is useful if you're not set on a certain path. Lead times are quite long - and can stretch out. Despite enjoying the shopping experience here, we actually bought elsewhere, though paid considerably more than we would have at Dickson Avenue - just a choice we made in favour of higher quality and durability, though Dickson's products were good value for money.

I was asking all around Chatswood Chase to see if someone could fix my necklace. One of the silver…read morelinks had broken and it just needed to be put together on the next link (but it wasn't something I could do at home). I asked the man at the watch repair place and he said to go to Chatswood Westfield and there was a place I could get it done. Close to the entrance on Anderson Street, Schneider's sells a small variety of jewelry, clocks and watches, but also does repair (which looks like the main portion of their business). It took a couple of days to repair the necklace, but when I got it back it was just as good as new. They did a good job, but it was a little pricey for what needed to be done. I'm sure there are other places in the city that are less expensive, but if you are in the Chatswood area, Schneider's does a good job for both jewelry and watch battery repair.
