The shop's focus on waste reduction and sustainability can be seen in every corner, offering a diverse range of products from home accessories, such as decor and cleaning tools, to toys, gifts, and personal care items. The shop focuses providing products that are free from toxins, made with safe ingredients, and has a few refill stations of "(un)packaged" goods for easy refilling into your reusable containers.

Haveli (which means a sprawling house in Hindi) is a gem of a furniture and home decor store in The…read moreJunction. My quest for Turkish Kilim pillows in Toronto (a futile one at that) led me to Haveli instead. Thank you Providence! Haveli's web presence is very indicative of its classy yet exuberant physicality. David Anderson has curated very cool things from India: ikat pillows, mango wood furniture, diaries, stately doors from South India, auto rickshaw models, scarves, shawls et al. A few of their embroidered chairs are a bit over the top; they would enhance the trip that one takes when one consumes certain chemicals! A quick browse through and I picked out ikat pillows that I liked and they were well within my budget. I noticed that the prices are very fair and they have items at various price points. Roula, the store manager, was very friendly and facilitated my search and my trip back home with excellent directions! Verdict: Haveli is A for awesome and E for explosions of design and color from the Indian sub-continent! If you want color and craftsmanship from India you'll feel at home in Haveli.

While a sign warning you that you are on camera serves as your only greeting ( the person at the counter in the back either "does not speak" or "leaves you alone to let you shop" depending on how you look at it.) Art of Demolition has a nice range of old eclectic stuff similar to what you would see at a flea market. Old license plates, records, and posters, as well as larger items such as chest coca cola coolers (they had a fairly nice one for 700$) are here as well. Recently, they did some spring cleaning/reorganizing so it is much easier to navigate the small space. If you like old odds and ends, The Art of Demolition may have that special something you were looking for.

Okay so here's the thing. I just bought my first big-boy bed (a double) and forgot my pillows when…read moreI moved. I don't know much about this stuff. I know there's not much to know but I know even less. I went to Linen World because they had two feather pillows for $50 sale which is pretty good value. I saw one I'd picked up was Queen and asked if that's what I use on a double bed as I thought I was looking for "standard" size. I know you use Queen duvets and duvet covers so why not pillows? She told me she thinks they're the same thing and it would fit my pillow case, etc. Then I get home and realize I bought 1 standard pillow and 1 queen pillow. Now I'm an idiot for not realizing this, but how didn't she? It's your big sale item advertised in the window and you don't know you have both sizes available? All sizes are thrown in on the same shelf? I'm allowed to be dumb about this stuff but you work at a bedding store and don't know there's a difference between standard and Queen pillows? Now I have 2 different size pillows on my bed and it will drive me crazy forever and ever :)

Funny how a small shop like this calls itself Linen World, while huge box stores try to make themselves sound all cute and snuggly with names like Linens 'n' Things. However, Linen World beat out the box stores when I was just recently trying to track down a good breakfast/TV table for a bedridden relative. It was the only place that had a breakfast table (essentially a tray with stubby little legs), and it was even on sale for $40. Granted, it was still a bit flimsy at that price, and the only one in the shop, but beggars can't be choosers.

Unless money is no object, I don't think you can really just buy these rugs based on an IG-pic. Instead, you should really just shop in-person as you have to experience how these things feel in your hand and, more importantly, under your feet! Unless the rugs are hung on the wall, patterns/colours are a bit difficult to see. However, owner seemed really personable and can help you out! It would DEFINITELY help if you have an idea of the size before you trek out there tho. If you appreciate handmade, unique rugs and are willing to invest, check this Mellah out!
