Here's the weirdest thing about @Home that I can come up with. Try to find it on the web. I've…read moretried countless times and I get the feeling it's the "@" that messes the whole thing up. I'm glad I took a picture of this place so at least I have proof that the place exists. Outside of its inability to be found in any Google search that I've tried, once you step into @Home, you're in for a decent time. @Home is a kitchenware store with a large assortment of different items that you can use in the kitchen or dining area. The items range from the strictly utilitarian (e.g., spring form pans - nothing fancy there) to the imaginative (e.g., elegantly shaped wine decanters). If you're looking for some interesting décor add-ons for your kitchen, or looking for something to theme your next party, this is probably a good place to start. It's not just the variety, but the quantity of items that is also overwhelming. There's tons of stuff that you can go through and, if you're so inclined, it's pretty easy to kill a half an hour in this little shop. Add to this it is an independent store and not a larger chain, so if you're into helping out the smaller business, this is a great store for you. Just don't try to Google your way there. Just get to Earl Grey Drive and look for the place in the picture.

Some of the Homesense/Winners/Marshals stores get a little chaotic after the shoppers have had time to go through everything and shuffle the clearance items around, but the staff at this store seem to be working really hard to keep this location spiffy. This shopping area of Stittsville has been really well planned out - the parking lots are well organized, there is a good use of roundabouts to separate the areas and help to prevent that "I Got Here First" Stop-Sign issue, and the assortment of stores is very useful.

Some sales, nothing really on clearance. The Xmas items are all out at the front of the store. Within 5 minutes of entering the store I was greeted by at least 3 friendly associates. Nice! Lots of prints, mirrors, bathroom needs... small furniture items, sooo many pillows. It reminded me of a Pier One without the exotic flare. I left empty handed based on what I actually need right now and the prices but I'll return another day and would recommend this store.

Comparable to the Jysk store next door, which sells some similar items, this store goes a step further by offering small kitchen appliances. For me this is essential, as I look after the coffee club at work. This store sells a Krupps expresso maker with a milk frother attached, for just $79.00!! Altogether too often, I'm finding these attrociously expensive machines (in the range of $1,200, but some at $3,000 or higher!!) for some thing I would personally not use enough to make the tremendous expense worth while. So, I will have to bear this in mind, depending what happens with the machine we currently have which recently broke. Either I fix that one at a reasonable price, or I run back to this store and pick up this little cutie! Oh my, are we ever spoiled at work! Well, you need SOMEthing to look so forward to! Imagine having an office where you can get better coffee than else where! Yehaw!! Aside from that piece of wonderfulness, they have a wide variety of those hanger-things for your shower (where there's never enough shelving for the shampoos and other shower essentials). Of course, they sell bed sheets - individually, and in sets, bath towels, dishes, and all kinds of stuff. All in all, this was another fun place to wander around in and look around. I will occasionally go back. Update January 21, 2016: This page seems to have been moved to Ottawa Trainyards which is incorrect as I've never been there. This store is actually in Grant's Crossing in Kanata. I was in here today and found what I was looking for: a squeegee for the shower, and they offered quite a few to choose from, too.

The store blames the supplier but yet knowing structube can't deliver they are still taking orders and still taking their customers money. They have no compensation for their customers by offering free deliver or discounts. The manager answers the problem by saying you can cancel your order. I think that's what I'll do. Although I liked the set, I haven't found anything else and the price is right.

That's a bit odd, but you get to do your comparison shopping all in one location! Jeff S wrote a great and very informative review about the Orleans location of Jysk (thanks Jeff!) However, I do have to say that although he compares this store chain to Ikea, I am not a fan of Ikea, as I don't like the feeling of being herded through the store like so much cattle or sheep. You know the feeling: you can't walk in the door and march straight to the section you're looking for without following the sidewalk past a zillion other things before finding the item(s) you're looking for! This store is much like that, but a bit better. Ikea would have scored less than a 3-star from me. Sorry to you Ikea fans!! But this is just me... We wandered through the store just to see what they had to offer, and overall, I have to say that I was fairly impressed! First of all, we've been looking in all the local hardware stores for mirrors for 2 places in our house, and this place won out over everyone else, hands down! Not only did they have the exact size we were looking for (which I admit is a bit unusual) but these mirrors were also a fabulous price! We got these items for a fraction of the price the hardware stores were asking. LOVE IT!! I will come back occasionally to have a poke about.

PRINCESS AUTO! lol! No car parts here and barely any accessories! More like a Lee Valley Tools. This company is Canadian which is cool and more stores are currently being built. Staff were friendly. Dog treats up front! The store was crammed full of stuff. Nothing fancy. Kind of surplus store meets Canadian Tire. Perfect for the Mr Fix It type guy.

If you are familiar with the brand, Princess Auto sells all kinds of car maintenance products, and shelving and other items to outfit your garage to do the repairs and maintenance required. They have things to fix your car: wheels and tires (after all, it's winter now... are your snow tires on?); doodads to check the pressure of your tires; trailer hitches; and all and sundry for the DIY car enthusiast. So why do *I* like it when I don't know the right side of a wrench? Because they are Canadian owned and operated, and they sell work gloves and those heating things to keep your hands and feet warm in the winter. I go there maybe every 3-4 months to check out what is on display. It's different than a hardware store, but also good and useful.
