This store is great!…read more I'm a painting contractor and I use only Benjamin Moore products. When I'm working in Vancouver I always use the Clark Drive location, the staff is very knowledgeable and professional. They carry the full line of products including the full line of Industrial products (most don't keep them on hand). There is plenty of parking right out front and I can phone in orders which saves me time and money. They always do there best to offer the most competitive prices and even offer special pricing for me on larger projects. Can't say enough about these guys, highly recomended.

And that's why I was surprised to find a quasi-furnishings store I actually liked. Granted, Provide in Crosstown carries more than just fixtures and accessories for your abode. Among the designer espresso makers are some pretty fashionable clothing items, which, for me, broke up the monotony of the selection of housewares (lamps, vases, tables, cushions, etc.). Someone must have had people like me in mind when they came up with the concept for this store. On to the fashion! I found some beautiful (although pretty high-end) tees by designer James Perse as well as some local style, like Vancouver's own Shereen De Rousseau's gorgeous cross-platform jewellery.

Slowly but surely, this end of downtown Vancouver is becoming a hot spot for lovely boutiques…read more cafes and restaurants and the inclusion of Provide home decor store in that group is a great choice. The general vibe of the store is very bright and open but still warm and cozy. Soft, luxe James Perse casual wear for the ladies and the gentleman inn your life will be welcome with very open arms as a gift for someone else or yourself. Unique pillows and throws will have you wrapping yourself up on the couch and hibernating next to your decadently scented boutique candle from Europe and a cup of Nespresso from that handy little machine that spits out espresso exactly how and when you want. The aforementioned scene is courtesy of Provide and there is more where that came from. Royal Doulton tableware, Niche Modern lighting, Dwell and Publique Living decor items from gorgeous picture frames done in stone to massive and stunning ceramic bowls, you are sure to be entranced by some very fab finds at Provide.

I was introduced to Atkinson's by an old friend who had given us as a wedding present, a very…read morelovely Lalique sculpture she had purchased at Atkinson's. Over the years we have found a number of beautiful pieces at their store and recently I went by the store to buy a present for my wife for our 25th anniversary. When I got to the store, they were closed. I had forgotten they always close on Mondays but the owner was there doing paperwork and he answered the door. I explained why I was there and specifically what I was hoping to buy. He very kindly asked me to wait while he went into the back to see if it was in stock and was back in few minutes with the piece I was looking for. My wife loves the piece and I am grateful to the Atkinsons for always being so pleasant and gracious. They have a very carefully selected range of pieces from classical to modern and always beautiful.

Purchased Baccarat champagne flutes (2 boxes of 6 each) from Atkinson's. Did so as it was…read moremarginally less expensive than Bloomingdale's. Big mistake. Received boxes only to find that some of the glasses were (not subtly) broken - see pic. This happens - see prior review 1/15/25. Communicated by email to return items and was provided a return label. I will admit that we reported the broken glass after the 48hr period (although within 7 days), but that was only because we were out of town and did not open the boxes for some days after they arrived (accepted by doorperson in building in NYC). Because we technically did report after 48hrs, I agreed to pay the shipping fees (approx $100). They signed for and confirmed receipt of the boxes. This was in mid May 2025. We heard nothing from them and did not get a CC refund. We reached out eventually again end of June 2025. It took several phone calls to ultimately reach the person making the decisions. At this point that person refused to provide a full refund even though they were in possession of the entire order. He accused me of using the glasses (and breaking one apparently) even though there was no evidence to support this. To be clear, we purchased $3000 worth of glasses. I am a cardiologist and my wife is an attorney. We were being accused of behavior that we would NEVER engage in, as it is unethical and couldn't possibly be worth it to us. It was insulting and was added to the injury of not being refunded (despite accepting the fully returned merchandise). I am obviously involving my CC company to be refunded at this point. To be clear, I am not writing this review to strengthen a case for a refund (I feel more than comfortable that I will be made whole by the CC company, as they accepted the entire return and have provided no refund ($3000)). Rather I wanted to communicate to any potential future customer of Atkinson's to BEWARE. Their inventory is nice and the prices competitive, but if there are any issues, you will be at risk. For the level of product, it just doesn't make sense not to purchase elsewhere.

The prices are reasonable and the lady working was really friendly. The furniture ranges from large bookshelves and bed frames to accent tables and frames. There were also plenty of home accessories like pillows, jewellery boxes and other very affordable decorations for your pad. Definitely a more genuine feel here than a lot of the large "import" shops in the South Granville neighbourhood, and it's only a stone's throw from Granville and Broadway. Go peek your head in!

With a staff fully comprised of dedicated volunteers, and a carefully curated inventory often donated by hospice recipients, there are definite treasures to be discovered here. The shop doesn't carry clothing (there's a HOB store just for that, a few miles away) but they do carry everything else. Kitchen items, decor, small furniture, craft items, books, and general bric-a-brac are waiting to be found here. They also have an impressive selection of antiques and vintage items, and I found their prices to be very reasonable although definitely higher than your typical thrift shop. I was also impressed that HOB Too is so used to serving their regular customers, they immediately recognized me as a new customer! One of the volunteers on duty that day even came over to say hi, introduce herself, and see what I thought of the shop. We ended up talking for several minutes. It was a really special experience for me, getting to learn more about the shop and their dedication to raising money for Hospice while serving the vintage/thrift community. This is truly a cool place and I will 100% be back!

This is a great thrift store with a great purpose being it…read more It was very organized inside with a smaller but nice selection to look through to find a treasure and nothing "junky" seemed to be within their stock.

I agree with Valerie G.'s review that the workers here are not friendly, I would characterize them…read moreas snobby. The reason for my review, however, is not about customer service - or maybe it is. I purchased a painting from this group. I like the painting a great deal but when it was sold to me it was stated (as well as on the selling tag) that it was an unsigned work of a specific artist. I took their word for it but am also not naive. I liked the painting and paid a fair price for it. After purchasing the art I was curious if they were being honest so I emailed the artist and asked if it was indeed his work. He said no it was not. I believe that this was a selling tactic of the group and did not appreciate it.

It's all right. Some pieces priced appropriately and others were (imo) a bit overpriced. Well…read moreorganized and clean.

I have to say I am extremely happy I made my first artist-quality paint investment here for those three reasons, and for the small-vendor service I get when I have questions. After consulting with the sole staff member on my first visit I picked up the 15-colour starter set for $60 plus a couple more tubes in larger sizes. Now every time I'm on Granville Island I just love spending a few minutes here where I'm sure to treat myself to a new colour; at $4-7 for a new 60ml tube it's good retail satisfaction value. The reduced selection compared to major acrylic brands is actually a relief to me; I am not bombarded by choice, and I can actually reach a point where there isn't more to collect (a good thing for me).

For those who are wary, try out a few of their tubes and reserve judgment until after you have done so. I know you'll be happy with these paints.
