If money grew…read moreon the trees in my yard (and if I had a yard) I'd fill my home with beautiful things from this store. Everything is so rich, elegant and refined, with room for plenty of whimsy. They have original local art and limited edition giclees (high quality reproduction canvases). There was a lot that was 25 per cent off, including an amazing floor-to-ceiling framed canvas of these gorgeous abstract red poppies I would so love to hang, If I had the wall space. There's unique furniture, from upholstered chairs with Indonesian wood to impressive boudoirs, coffee tables and bureaus. There's lots of decor, from $600 original blown-glass decorative bowls and plates to silk and brocade pillows, jewelry, chandeliers, and throws. It's impossible to do this place justice in words. The impressive collection must be seen and appreciated. If you're looking for original items for your home, include this on your treasure hunt.

This store is so beautiful - AND expensive! My boyfriend and I went in here to look for wine…read moreglasses. We walked in and the woman at the desk asked if we needed a hand, and I told her we were looking for wine glasses. I could immediately tell we would not be able to afford anything in the store, but we browsed anyways. The woman who worked here showed us around and showed us the wine glasses she had available. They were not my style (and I could not have afforded them if I wanted them) because they were very formal, and I was looking for something a little more fun. They did have a selection of wine glasses and other things for 25% off, but even with the discount, these items were not in our range. Despite the lack of money that we had available we walked slowly through this store and browsed the beautiful things. Everything was very formal and fancy. If I had enough money to splurge, I would go here and buy one of their beautiful tables. This store is dripping in glamour and it needs to be seen to believed.

I popped into McElheran's one day because I'd driven by the store many times and was curious to see…read morewhat sort of furniture it carries as I had been looking for a specific item for my home. After walking around the store for a few minutes, I quickly realized that most of the furniture was not to my taste, although there was certainly a wide selection. It must have been a slow day, as I felt like I was virtually the only person in the store and was being shadowed by a salesperson wherever I went. I finally found a piece that I liked and would actually consider purchasing. I asked the saleswoman hovering nearby a few questions about the piece, and whether I could take a picture and measurements. She asked me if I was actually serious about purchasing it. Keep in mind that this was an expensive piece (at least by my standards) and no matter how much I might like something, I'm not an impulse shopper who buys pricey furniture at first sight. So I replied that I would have to bring my husband to take a look at it before making a final decision. Then she said, "Of course - after all, he's the one paying for it, right?" Um, sorry? Not in our dual-income household. The whole exchange really put me off and I left right after. Needless to say, I never went back to buy that piece of furniture - which is really too bad because it would have looked awesome in my home.

Very dour place, looks and feels like a funeral home inside…read more You will be chased around here by service people who will constantly espouse how wonderful their furniture is....yes, there are several nice and extremely expensive pieces. However, with clever shopping skills, you can easily find the same pieces elsewhere for much cheaper. For example, Mcelheran's has a blow-out price on a Bernhardt chair for $999.00 and Chintz&Co. is selling the exact same chair (Dalia) for $499.00 at half off the regular price of $998 and further, Chintz is selling the Dalia Bernhardt floor model at $299! Mcelheran's desperately needs to hire a furniture stager as their products are not displayed in the best possible way, very confusing how they have their store laid-out.

Lyndale Accents carries a wide variety of fun, practical, and beautiful gift ideas for the home and for children and adults. There are seasonal items, jewelry, greeting cards, and items for bath and kitchen. Most of the trinkets are small, but with large pricetags. There is a return policy with receipt (although I can't recall how many days you have), which was fortunate for me when I bought a decorative bookmark for a family member who did not care for it.

The selection at Lyndale Accents is indeed eclectic. It is geared to women, so ladies, make sure to shop here without a boyfriend or a husband who, chances are, will be bored and end up whining and ruining your shopping trip:) P.S. Customer service was nonexistent.

The order arrived on time, in perfect condition and delivery guys were great as well. Their delivery fees are lower than most of the nice stores.

The owner offered to change them for us while we waited. Now it is really comfortable in addition to gorgeous.

Love this store! If you need or are looking for any decor items, speciality gifts, local items…read more(including sweets!) and/or an assortment of older or antique items or furniture, this is your place. There's even a small cooler with unique drinks in the corner. I started following the shop on Instagram ages ago. So I was thrilled that they are close to my relocated area. The first time I was in the shop was honestly to only grab flowers to brighten a friend's day. Yet, I ended up walking out with an assortment of things - ribbon tape, soap, some candles, hand cream, Edmonton trivia cards, etc. Small but unique or local items always makes good gifts! I love so many things in this store and recommend this place if it's gift giving items you're looking for or even the extra self love/care items. I've shopped here for gifts that I felt I could further customize for friends and family or add to a group gift to enhance the selected theme. The staff is always very helpful when they see me looking at the displays or carrying multiple items (I walk with a cane so I appreciate their concern of I can hold onto something for a time). I've even suggested this place to others to stop at when they come to Edmonton as it's a very pretty store just to pop into quickly for future inspiration. Most recently I've bought myself bouquet filter to fix my seasonal bouquet (sadly the seasonal element to a Christmas bouquet was severely lacking from a different store - people let this be a lesson on you get what you pay for). The ladies suggested some items I wouldn't of even thought to consider or ask for. Some really cool red berry looking thing too. Happily I can report that adding those suggestions plus what I wanted together with the flowers I already had resulted in an amazing amount of virtual complements during the holiday. Plus I got what I really was looking for - that real tree smell in my little apartment! I recently had to reduce the filler in my vase to only the pine. So I can confirm their product lasts a good amount of time or longer than expected. I've brought multiple bouquets and floral items from them in the last couple of years and everyone I've gifted a bouquet has said the same thing. If I could give a 4.5 I would as seriously this place. It truly is a great as a store and the shop for the most part is arranged to give a lots of space to move around. This was before only a few people were allowed in at a time (covid restrictions). They even have the most lovely shop dog. Hand sani out at the front and easy to read signs. It's honestly the parking lot that makes it go down a point. As someone that is mobility limited, I don't enjoy the real life game of frogger. Especially in winter amongst cars entering quickly off the corner of Whyte ave and 96 St into the uniquely shaped and noticeably slopped parking lot. To make things really challenging for drivers (and shoppers trying to get to and from cars), there's one access point parking lot. Lots of times you see people backing up further into the lot or back on the street to get another car out or into the parking lot. So drive with caution, especially when reversing. Yes, there's a handicap stall and a few other spots near the door but that's usually the first to be taken. Especially if it's a long weekend. I don't mind trying to challenge myself from time to time with walking distances but it's the slope in the parking lot that personally makes me nervous in winter due to my lack of balance. The unique parking situation is not the shop's fault. One assumes from the look of the building, the footprint is definitely from the older days. Do keep in mind if you choose to park there, that the lot is shared with Earth's General Store. As you can imagine, being connected to a small and unique grocery store creates a very busy parking lot with usually few people waiting to go inside (due to limited number of customers allowed at one time). So if you can bike, bus or walk over, I would recommend it. Bike rack is located along the dividing wall that leads to the sister store of Maven and Grace. Bus stop is literally as close as you can get for a bus stop on Whyte Ave. I have also noticed the last few months a lot of people parking in the Humpty's lot across the street or along the other side of Whyte Ave (so not to be in the bus zone) and walking over. All in all, the shop itself is awesome to find that perfect gift or brighten your own day with something a little special.

Checked out Maven and Grace today for the first time and I'm super impressed!…read more I found out about this store from one of the products they carry (Worthy Jams....delicious! Check them out too!), and I will definitely be back! When you walk into the store, it's just so beautiful! The products are nicely displayed, it smells wonderful and the prices for items are fairly reasonable. It's not just a store with a bunch of local knick knacks, but they have some unique kitchen supplies, chocolates, body care, beard care, jewelry, etc. I picked up 2 PLAYin CHOC which is like an organic kinder surprise. It's dairy, nut and plastic free and the little toy inside is either an endangered or woodland animal. When I open them, I'll post more pics. And also picked up 2 Karat chocolate bars, and oh my....are they ever delicious! They're a company out of Kelowna and I'm a new fan for sure! They're Pineapple Upside Down is scrumptious and then we also got the Milk and Cereal bar. Both are amazing! If you're in the Whyte Ave area, definitely check out Maven and Grace. A beautiful boutique store with lovely items for everyone!

I also found the "ambiance" of this place to be a bit yuck- the lighting was a strange shade of yellow that I think was raining on my parade. Overall I think this is a pretty great place to peruse for new household items and decor, and the prices are always great!
