You might be forgiven, on entering this shop, for thinking that it's a homeware shop for people…read morewith more money than sense, (the display of linen water made me think this immediately) but on closer inspection Eden Home & Garden shows itself to be high-end homeware both in quality as well as price. The store contains decorative items like candles and mirrors as well as larger pieces of furniture. Most of the furniture is solid wood signature pieces that you might consider spending a lot on as an investment for your home. They also have a range of seats and couches, but a choice of fabrics. The furniture, particularly the tables, are beautiful, solid wood pieces likely to submit to quite a bit of wear and tear and still look good. The prices are high but where items are on sale they do have substantial reductions. They also stock a range of garden furniture too. Certainly worth a look if you're home decorating.

Straffan Courtyard, also known as Straffan Antiques & Design, is the most wonderful place to visit…read morefor a good day out. It is right there in Barberstown crossroads, almost equal distance from Maynooth, Clane and Celbridge and very close to Straffan village. As you drive in through the gates, park on the left and amble in, you will see that this place is a feast for the eyes - almost like a tiny village but in a courtyard setting. Beautifully restored old outhouse buildings contain a whole host of shops, including a huge antiques section of 18th and 19th century period furniture, ceramics, silver and fine art. A fantastic home and gift shop with modern country style furniture, lighting, pictures and tons of gifts of various descriptions - you will not be short of ideas or choice here! There is also a gorgeous fashion shop, with a large selection of ladies casuals and accessories from a host of Irish designers, including some lovely jewellery, hats, cashmere and silks, as well as a huge selection of vintage clothing, hats and jewellery. Plus, I noticed they have now add a selection of smart casual menswear. When you have finished browsing and shopping - which will certainly take some time as there is such a lot to see - drop into the wonderful Victorian Tearooms, also in the courtyard, for a cup of freshly brewed coffee, some delicious cakes and pastries or a light lunch. So, if you fancy an afternoon's drive, I would highly recommend that you drop into the Straffan Courtyard, which is only a short distance and easy to find from both the N4 and the N7 and trust me, you will not be disappointed.

This is the worst painter that I have ever seen in my life. He destroyed my living room. He…read morepainted over plastering tape that was hanging off the wall. Destroyed the wooden floor with paint and wrecked the ceiling. He was just awful and I have the photos to prove it. I wouldn't let him near a dog kennel never mind anyone's home. The only reason he got a one star is because I wasn't allowed to submit my review without one.
