Beautifully curated, this shop is the truest form of not judging a book by it's cover. The mother-daughter team and the other fabulous women who help them run this shop, select only the most interesting and lovely pieces, all arranged just right to spur your creativity. If you'd like advice, or history behind a piece, ask, they are happy to help, and know their stuff.
From the street, you wouldn't pick them out of the unassuming industrial-park like building, but once you enter, you'll find yourself inside the biggest consignment store in Western Canada. In the front you'll find jewelry, art, china and other smaller items displayed on cabinets, all of which are for sale. Step into the next room and depending on the decor that week, you could find yourself in a retro teak living space, or an antique Canadiana cabin-like setting.
Once you enter the main space, best of luck to you. If you love furniture, antiques, and things with stories, you can browse to your heart's content. From rugs to couches, tables galore, and a vast selection of cabinets, curios and everything in between, this is truly a furniture hunting heaven. With new items from other shops that have closed, you'll find old mixed with new, all set up to inspire you. No tripping over dusty IKEA dressers here, this is not your average thrift-shop. Don't miss the upstairs, filled with chairs, stools, small tables and other treasures.
With weekly additions, the ladies behind this shop have fabulous taste, and everything is on consignment, so you'll do well to ask about pricing, sometimes the bigger pieces are negotiable.
So far I've purchased an old wooden coffee table from a Philippine beach house for $80, a vintage suitcase for $45, vintage luggage rack for $25, a fabulous teak chair for $90, and a few other small items. Visit weekly if you're on the hunt for a specific piece, they may be antique, but things here don't stick around long.
