It is a woman founded business that has a thoughtful curation of products sourced across Canada. 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. Thev refill stations offer customers a great opportunity to reduce both cost and waste. Their refill stations include a large selection of household cleaning and laundry products, body lotions, soaps, creams, shampoos and conditioners. The Pretty Clean Shop is a one-stop shop anyone who wants to live a more sustainable lifestyle without compromising on quality or style. I also like how they are a participant of the Pact recycling program, offering a drop off point for empty beauty packaging that cannot be thrown in the blue bin.

I've been to my fair share of antique shops where the owners hang over you like vultures, guarding…read moretheir hoards of stuff. But that is simply not the case when it comes to this lovely antique lighting store. It's a clean, organized shop run by a welcoming patron who knows a lot about the history of the area. It's not overly big, so things are easy to find-- glittery chandeliers, Tiffany style lamps, Art Deco wall sconces-- and nothing is caked in dust (you can actually SEE the lights!). Prices range depending on what you're looking for (as expected), but there's no problem finding the price as delicate tags hang about the room above you like snowflakes. Oh, and don't hesitate to ask him to turn all the lights on. It's spectacular to see everything lit up (even better, go at dusk for an even better view).

John, the owner, kindly walked us through some of their items and their origin. Very interesting indeed.

Unattainable, but lovely nonetheless. The only price tag I saw was a cushion for $300 and that was enough for me. It is obvious that everything here was carefully curated to suit a certain aesthetic. A unique blend of a Japanese exhibit at a museum and expensive Ikea! Probably the most stunning furniture store that I've stepped foot in.

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.

So disappointed We…read morebought a beautiful new washer dryer for our condo from Home Depot expecting the high standards I was used to them having in the past. Our experience cost us an extra 600$ and over two weeks of duress. The first delivery date was cancelled because of the complete lack of and outdated communication between the delivery department and us and we had to wait another two weeks to have the appliance delivered. When it was delivered the delivery men were not allowed to turn off the water for us we had to call the concierge only to discover that our water tap was stuck and wouldn't turn. They had to leave the new appliance in our hallway and so were unable to take away our old unit because we would be without a washer dryer. The two young delivery men were, professional, gentlemen, and knowledgeable. They were put in an awkward situation of not being able to complete their task while having to leave us equally frustrated and angry due to the complete lack of functional communication logistics and protocol between when we bought our unit in store and when it was delivered. We now have to hire a plumber to install the washer dryer and take the old one away at our extra time and money. I would write the correct protocol for Home Depot but I am tired of doing someone else's homework without any compensation. I have made billions of dollars for corporations over the years by writing in on their guest services websites and I am done paying my hard earned money to do someone else's job. For what it cost us, next time I need an appliance I will buy American because the cost will be the same and the service will be better. Don't waste your money at Home Depot anymore. The old grey mare is not what it used to be.

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!
