With more storage options and ideas than you could poke a stick at and friendly staff, I can see this will be the first trip of many.

If you're looking to splash some cash and refurnish your kitchen, you'll love Wheel and Barrow…read more Walking through this store is as exciting to me as walking through Officeworks - that is, very exciting indeed. The possibility offered by rows and stacks of sparkling kitchen utensils, pots, pans, mixing bowls of all descriptions, trays, baking dishes, and cake decorating supplies would be enough to awaken the Masterchef in anyone. Unfortunately, for a student like me the kitchenwares at this store are out of reach of my budget. It's not cheap to get a flashily stocked kitchen, so I prefer to do a walk through, dream, try to exit without breaking anything, and come back again another time.

The carefully arranged shelves reach all the way to the ceiling, towering over you full of utensils you never knew you needed but are sure to make life ever so much easier. Clocks adorn the walls as a variety of kettles jostle for space below. The completely open front of the store is partially obscured by a display of unusually designed plates and other crockery. My favourite thing they stocked were the water bottles, which may sound strange, if you don't know me. I carry a water bottle with me everywhere, something which has led to a great deal of lighthearted teasing on the part of my friends. Belle Pot had a display of a few different brands out the front, so I amused myself for a while deciding whether it was time for a new faithful friend. This is the perfect place to go if you're in the market to revamp your kitchen.

The man who runs the store is always keen to help; I like to have a bit more of a browse before I commit, but like all tiny stores, we're very aware of each other's presence as soon as I go near the place. I've bought stable trays, tea cups, a knife, and some pretty glasses. No doubt I'll go back for more.

We all know a factory outlet tend to be cheaper than buying from a department store and Sheridan at…read moreMt Gravatt is no different. You can buy Sheridan towels and bed linen at Myers, David Jones or Harvey Norman but you could save up to 50% on the same item if you buy from the Sheridan outlet at Mt Gravatt. Plus there's the bonus of easy parking at the Mt Gravatt homemaker centre and the Sheridan outlet stock a wider range of products. The easy going staff don't even seem to mind me burrowing my face in their soft Egyptian cotton towels. If you have zero tolerance for using scratchy, faded towels after bathing, then the Sheridan outlet is the place to go at least once a year to maintain a fluffy supply without blowing your budget.

How had I never ventured into the doors of Executive Chef until Monday night? Located at the…read moreWoolloongabba end of Merivale Street, this is a home-cook and professional chefs wonderland. The first floor is full of any kitchen utensils, bowls, chef uniforms, knives that you would need to cook up a storm. Heck, you could probably even buy the kitchen sink. There's also a mezzanine level where a full kitchen is housed. My experience was attending a cooking demonstration in this space, and I'm told it's something they do regularly. While probably best saved for a trip when you specifically need something, it is still worth a trip to explore. Prices are marginally cheaper than general retail and even if you had planned to, you probably won't leave empty handed.

It's been a while since I visited Exec Chef and I must say, either the range has improved or, I…read morereally hadn't paid attention before. There a bit of everything here - tools, pans, equipment for preserving, baking, chef's whites and some great books. They also have a cooking school upstairs which was chocka block on the morning I visited so it says volumes on how popular the classes must be. If you haven't visited, it's worth a look - I bet you won't leave home empty handed!

Be prepared for a full on treatment of condescension, disdain, and passive aggressive belittling. These ladies think they really are the bees knees. When I could not find anything to my liking to exchange for the returned piece, I was told -and I quote "You know dear, this is a very affluential area and the ladies who shop here would be pleased to buy anything from this shop" !! So, no matter who you are dear customers, I suggest, to avoid being spoken to and treated as a complete undesirable, ensure you have a form of ID with your local Bulimba address -and an up to date payslip showing your salary is of a significant pay scale. You will then avoid the patronising and humiliating situation these "ladies" gifted to myself! By the way, I suggest buying from the gift shops further up Oxford Street - same products, not over priced!

I remember when we first moved to the area, we wanted to fill the house with new furniture. Oz Design Furniture was one of the places we visited and one of the places we ended up buy most from. We were being taken care of a lovely gentleman who works there. He stuck with us from beginning to end of our picking and choosing which lead to the purchasing. He showed us the many options they have for furniture suites. He explained that some of the furniture on display is available to choose in colour other than whats on display. We found a cabinet, entertainment unit and coffee table that we liked. We choose the colour we wanted and he went ahead to get it ordered. A few weeks later he gave us a courtesy call to let us know it was made and will now be shipped to their store. We saw the finished product and we were thrilled! They delivered to our home and the furniture looks brand new and hasn't moved since. Oz Design Furniture team are very professional and a super friendly bunch of people. It made choosing our furniture very easy and fun experience.
