I'd just like to walk in to this store and take one of everything, from the sleek contemporary sofas to the sleek pedestal dining table to the shiny "paperclip" ceiling light, down to the Union Jack laptop sleeves, "Be Nice or Leave" throw pillows,…More »

There are a lot of furniture stores in this neighbourhood, but Scandesigns stands out not only for the clean, simple look of its furniture, but also the service. First, because there are no salespeople stalking you through the showroom as you look…More »

I love this store and the way everything is so sleek and modern. They have couches and tables sized to fit apartments, and most of the furniture can be ordered in an array of fabrics and colours.

Like many of the shops on this row, the main floor is…More »

I feel like buying a plant is like condemning it to a slow death sentence. A slow strangling with brown thumbs and inept care, either by smothering or neglect. I can't get it right. I HAVE killed a cactus. But I try, to the despair of the plant…More »

Recently updated lists from Christine R.

Surrey. Yes, Surrey. (13) Finds in the much-maligned big city.	Vacation in Washington State (18) I love a local vacation. Washington is so close to BC, yet has cheaper shopping and better customer service overall, plus the same fabulous West Coast scenery.
Shopping for food (21) I love to cook, so food shopping is my favourite type of shopping, from big grocery stores for the everyday stuff to specialty shops for Wow factor ingredients. I like it local too.	Adventures with Groupon (8) The end results of getting tempted by online deals and social coupons.
Store pets (6) Visits with cats and dogs who live in retail land. Only by shopping the indies can you have these encounters, by the way!	Diners (14) All you need is fries... and grease ... and bacon.
Can't talk, eating (3) The multi-tasking reviews ... food so good, I just gotta write about it now.	Two sticks and a ball (4) Dealers in needles and yarn for my knitting habit. What did you think I was talking about?
Bright Lights, Royal City (50) Places to go and things to do in New Westminster, BC. It's a weird place but it kinds of grows on you after awhile.	Bad tables in nice restaurants (5) I made reservations. So why am I sitting next to the kitchen or bathroom?
