McCune's is a well known DIY shop in Carrickfergus. This is one of the few shops in the town that…read morehas been 'part of the furniture' for as long as I can remember. They sell a range of wallpaper, paint, varnish, in fact, pretty much anything you would need for general DIY. Perfect for someone who has a quick job to do, and doesn't want the hassle of having to go all the way up to Newtownabbey to visit one of the larger DIY stores. They also sell a range of gardening items. As has already been mentioned, the staff are super helpful, especially for someone as clueless as me when I wanted to make my first attempt at wallpapering (it didn't work, but it wasn't due to ill advice, just my poor skills) In addition, McCune's is one of the few places locally that you can get a key cut, so if you ever need a spare key in a hurry, this is the place to go. Nice selection of keyrings too!

I would never go anywhere else as I have always had top class service from Tony and his Dad. They couldnt be nicer and more hard working.

Caskers is not a Pound Shop as such, it's more a pound and upwards but the general thrust is that…read moreis stocks a lot of, perhaps, lesser known brands and prices are appropriately keen. They a fair range of home, garden, DIY, hardware, electrical and car necessities. I use them inpreference to some of the big DIY outlets a) because they are local and there fore convenient; b) because they frequently cheaper for what's not necessarily inferior goods. Even some thing as simple as box of tissues Caskers price easily beats the supermarket price. OK you may not know the name on the box but I have found the stuff to be of acceptable quality. It's obviously what Caskers do in sourcing goods at compeitive prices and quite a lot of the brands that they do sell they have been selling for quite some time; so it must be good.

I originally bought a new bed and mattress from a well known company, and excitedly waited for its…read morearrival. When it arrived, we were halfway through putting it together, when we found that there were essential parts missing. We went through the inventory and noted all the missing parts and contacted the retailer to ask to have them sent to us, only for them to say that this was not possible, and we had to pack the whole thing up, have it returned, and they would send a new one. I packed the parts up for collection, and told them instead of sending another consignment, to refund me instead. We then chose to get our new bed for TJ Warehouse, which I wish we'd done in the beginning! This is a local, family run business who helped us through the whole process, and at every stage, there was an actual human being to speak to! The bed and mattress I ended up getting here, I was much more happy with, their prices are competitive and we had the bed with all parts present delivered to our door within 48 hours! Aside from beds, they also sell bedroom furniture, they have an online store, and if needed, they can offer finance too. I definitely recommend to look at what local businesses you can support before looking elsewhere!

Misha's Country Workshop, awk wow what a great wee hand made shop. I nipped in here on…read morerecommendation from a friend who is in love with the place. The woman (Misha) who runs the shop makes all the goods herself which is just brilliant. All the items were gorgeous! I don't know how she does it all, they're so inventive! I wanted to buy so many things from here, I'll definitely be back here closer to Christmas to stock up for presents or maybe call in for a special wee treat for myself! A brilliant shop for special gifts and wee trinkets for special occasions.

What the shop lacks in size, it more than makes up for in character - there is barely a square inch that isn't crammed with all manner of pretty goodies! Mischa specialises in taken old, unloved furniture & items from car boot sales, and giving them a new lease of life - you can also bring in your own tired furniture to be given the magic touch. She transformed my wicker bedside table from a black-varnished monstrosity into a glorious white & pink creation, for a very reasonable price. A lot of her designs are very Cath Kidson/Laura Ashley inspired : girly prints and pastel colours, but she can customise anything the way you want it. Another of Mischa's specialitys is customised bunting, which is gorgeous as in a nursery, or for wedding decorations. With items starting from around £1 (for cute salt-dough heart hangers)), it's hard to go in & not buy someting. Well worth a look if you're in the area & bored of generic Ikea homewares..
