This store is great for anyone wanting to add some life and colour into the home life - whether that be finding new linen, throws, pillows or gowns, if you want to create a luxury feel to your special place you may find something here that will catch your eye. It's not cheap - so don't expect any bargains, but occassioally you can find a bargain that seems pretty good.... They have a great range and if you're looking to re/decorate I think you will be pleasantly surprised :)

The lighting, flooring and possible newness (recently opened) adds to the sparkle. Since its opening, I have shopped there a couple of times, but I will definitely have to buy a whole lot more for my home to begin looking like that. I love their cushions! Amazing collection and range at affordable prices. Go on, feel their bathrobe, it's soft. You will find everything for your sleeping, bathing and homeware needs. Good products, good price, good service. Only downside for me is that their Advantage club is a paid membership.

This a really hard shop to categorise: It sells socks, toys, pictures, jig saw puzzles, artificial…read moreflowers, homewares, gifts etc, but it is not one of those bargain shops. They actually have nice things but as the only shop of this type in this small shopping centre I think they have increased their stock as people ask for something. It's is rather crowded but also quite fun, there's always something to catch your eye and you might not end up with what you intended to buy.

My companion for the day and I have a somewhat odd fascination with weird interior design, and like to imagine the kind of people who would decorate their homes with Venetian masks, Tiffany lamp knock offs and angel sparkle explosion thingies. A bit of an art deco wannabe shop, art deco without the trademark restraint. It's very claustrophobic, and not aided by the migraine-blast of those hideous room diffuser allegedly 'perfume' things. One's bad enough, but half a dozen is enough to send me screaming for some fresh air. Look, not my taste, admittedly. But it wasn't a friendly or comfortable vibe. And frog musician table lamps? Are you supposed to buy the whole ensemble, or just a lone saxophonist?

We visited Katoomba before Christmas and were drawn into this shop by a magical Christmas Window…read moredisplay which included the cutest hand made nativity scene with foxes and turbaned ducks. This shop is full of personality and humor with lots of interesting home wears and gifts, and the best range of greeting cards we've seen. When you're on holidays you want to see something different and this place certainly is. The service was really relaxed with lots of friendly chatter as the the lovely lady gift wrapped everything. It really made our visit special and we will definitely come back again

Mongolian furniture. Sometimes. If you're lucky. Sideboards and cabinets, all glorious colour and…read moredetail. Heading past on the way to Spotlight, I often spied in the showroom of this furniture store the odd Chinese chair and folding screen. Love them, puts Ikea to shame. But I don't buy furniture. I don't have a house. Until one day when THE sideboard was there. Red and green and gold curlicues handpainted and beautiful to the nth degree. I caved. Channelled my inner haggler (who's usually pretty darn deep) and the salesguy gave me a great deal on a price that was already a third of what you'd pay for the same thing in a swanky shop in Newtown. I don't go by often, but have never again seen anything quite so nice as mine, but worth keeping an eye on. The general stock seems ok to me, but the odd Mongolian piece at fantastic prices is worth the trip out. Just need the house to put it in...

I love looking at bolts of intricately patterned fabric, and at the mind-bogglingly intricate examples of quilts hanging on the wall. There was one here of teeny-tiny hexagons that made me feel quite dizzy in its contemplation. They have a large range of fabric, mostly of the historical/reproduction kind, in muted, traditional tones, as well as a few Aboriginal art patterned fabrics which I can't help but feel are tokenistic and a poor reproduction at best and cultural theft at worst. I tried to enquire about classes and was told they were on nearly every day, but didn't feel comfortable asking for more details, or to stay for a chat. Will someone teach me the handshake? Is it thimbles on all five fingers and embroidery scissors at the ready?

Past the box hedge and pansy border out the front, there's a churchful of soft furnishings and furniture. The staff were very friendly the other day as I wandered in, commiserating them on the noise from the roadwork. I peeked in the babystuff room for presents, shook my head at the scotty dog doorstop collection (what's with the scotty dogs? I don't get it) and admired some lovely sage green crockery. Speaking of, spotty seems to be in, spotty crockery is everywhere it seems, and there's some here too, perched above the wing chair, french 'home' perfumes (?!) and repro Tiffany lamps. Not really my style, but the staff were lovely, and they offer an extensive home dec/custom service if one's budget stretches to such things. I really marvelled at the freakish weird elephant in renaissance costume and ice skates doll thing on the bed in the back. I'm not making it up. Quite the incongruity. Life would be so dull if we all had the same taste...

Stepping into Victoria's basement opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me! At honest, affordable even cheap prices, it dawned on me, I can make it all mine! Oh yeah!! The 'Basement' is actually two floors huge and neither is underground. Oh well, thats what happens when shops set up names under estimating their popularity and future growth plans. The staff are too busy moving things around or stocking items or behind the billing counter. Not that you need any assistance.. Everything is available as is and it's all laid out for you. The prices are marked and sometimes the store runs specials by offering further discounts on sale items. Now comes the hard part, deciding between Gordon Ramsay's white maze and Jasper Conrans Pinstripe.. Or maybe I should get the Jamie Oliver tefal to start with.
