This a small specialty shop carrying Annie Sloan paint, doing Annie Sloan workshops, and possibly…read moredrinking Annie Sloan koolaid. They sell furniture that has been painted with the aforementioned brand, lovely pieces for good prices. The owner can give you all kinds of tips on using the paint, ideas for how to wax or varnish, color tips, and possibly anything else you might need to know about painting. Tip: don't buy the brand brushes, which you wouldn't once you discovered the price tag. They have a few other home items, pillows and rugs, cute items that are sometimes well priced and in the instance of the rug that caught my eye (£500) a tad over my budget but likely handmade and quality and worth it. Good shop.

Here you can…read morebuy: Buttons Ribbons Fabrics (including gorgeous Liberty fabrics) Wool Sewing materials DIY craft kids Being here got me really excited to start getting that little bit more crafty; starting small and hopefully moving on up to bigger and more challenging ventures with help from a seriously crafty friend. The Cloth Shop has an expansive range of fabrics and that's really their speciality but that's only just the beginning. The other departments are also really well stocked and with great variety too. There's a table and chairs upstairs along with some sewing pattern books with designs of varying levels of difficulty. This is a really good source of inspiration and helpful for beginners. It got me really excited to get learning and creating. I'm so looking forward to buying some pretty fabrics from The Cloth Shop soon and making a start on some personal projects!

This is a fantastic independent furniture shop.

From the outside it doesn't look much, the buildings it is in are very strange but don't let tht put you off. Have bought quite a lot of furnitre from here and the service was first class from the point of order straight through to the deliver team. They even came and took something back that we had ordered and then found out wouldn't work in our house. Pricewise I don't think they are any dearer than anywhere else, in fact have recently made another purchase and quite a bit cheaper than from a nearby (larger) warehouse

There are a few really cute, quirky shops in Bruntsfield, and Miam Miam leads them all. It's a…read morereally cute shop, selling really cool little bits and bobs and some furniture. It's the sort of place you can happily browse and smile at all the things they sell - because that's the most accurate description I can provide - it's just things! Yeah, it's a really nice shop and the staff are lovely! But I begin to question my sanity when I'm considering buying a £25 pink polka-dot tea cosy when a) I don't drink tea and b) I don't have a tea-pot. Some of their stock does raise a few eyebrows, but hey, it's fun I suppose. I've always said I would go back for Christmas shopping or for a birthday, but I always forget.

Still Miam Miam can be a saver when you are stuck on a present for someone that's a bit more unique but not too crazy. When I came in here it was empty (coincidence or economic crisis effect?) but the staff are super friendly and I got a great card for my friends graduation.

However the best thing about this Barnado's is the furniture section, which is spread over two additional shops adjacent to the main shop. A great place to pick up lovely cheap bits of furniture. They used to keep beds and tables/chairs upstairs but I'm not sure if this is still the case. The best pieces of furniture are often in the windows, and are often already reserved by other customers. This shop also has a bridal section by appointment with a large selection of bridal wears, bridesmaids dresses and accessories including shoes. Wonderful!

Most of their furniture is made of quality solid wood, like oak, walnut, ash, beech etc.They do not offer flat pack - each purchase is made to order once you have placed your order so the waiting time can often be several weeks but you receive a freshly made piece of furniture for your home. The delivery charge for a 2 piece suite was £30 - not bad in my opinion.

It's a lovely little…read moreshop selling everything from tea-cosies to candles, everything you would want in your stately home. Unfortunately for me, I live in a 2-bedroom flat in Holyrood, and have no use for this sort of stuff. Don't get me wrong - it's a lovely place and my grandparents loved it (Gran bought a cushion, she takes it out every Christmas and Meg next door is green with envy) and I'm sure it has a large market, but for the younger generation I think it simply isn't appreciated. Maybe I'll come back when don my power-suit and 2.3 children, but until then I think I'll go to Ikea. Gran's cushion was £45, so you get a sense of the general prices. Granda still can't believe the woman who won't spend an extra £1 on real soap (she prefers Asda's own) spent that much on a cushion. A festive cushion, no less.

I would love to decorate my flat using this shop as inspiration as everything is just so darn nice. They have gorgeous cushions, quilts, teapots, candles, hanging things and ornamental bits and bobs. There is a real rustic, country feel to this shop. Everything seems to come straight from someones summer house in the Hamptons or at the beach. If you like pretty and nice, then you will love Clementines.
