Nothing too wow. But its interesting to look at. I mean its modern to go inside. But unless you…read morereally need to redesign your house then yeah maybe it would make sense to shop here. The product is ok, I mean I do find it does feel like going into a gift shop. Not sure I want to have the kind of stuff they sell in my house or maybe I am not too trendy. its nice artwork to look at.

I've walked by here so many times, but for some reason had never gone in. Yesterday my mom was…read morevisiting and wanted to check it out. Glad we did! Lots of cute and unique housewares and art. Friendly customer service too!

I have mixed feeling. I felt something different this time. What they sell are same as before but…read moretoo tidy. Maybe under new management? I mean it looks like regular dollar store more that previous fun loving "Trendybucks". I used to like to browse this store to find a gem. But this time, it looked very ordinary. It's sad for me.

I like how their plant selection just gets bigger and bigger! They have some show stoppers by their…read moreKing Edward Street window. They also carry kitchen and home items. It's packed in there, a bit of everything. Random but also intentional. You have to go in to experience it. Service is generally good. Value is also good. No complaints here.

Customer service is excellent. The staff is very eager that the customer gets what they want…read more I often go into the store without an idea as to what to buy and always end up carrying a bag of lovely items. I find, for the most part, the prices are reasonable. You get value for your money. Always check out their Sales!

I visit this little shop weekly, she carries a gorgeous selection of home decor items, cosmetics,…read morefunky jewelery and even some adorable baby items and yummy smelling natural cleaning detergents.

When I hit that big payday, this is the place to shop for home decor. Thought it was European but…read morea few of the pieces I was inquiring about actually came from North Carolina and Cali, and she did mention Toronto too as one of their suppliers. You won't find deals nor are they looking for that clientele. those L shaped sofas for $3,500; or a dining room glass set, with white leather booth style seating, also for another $3,500; you get the idea. Very stylish, and there's a reason why they won some type of golden awards for best independent fashion store for past 2 years. Makes Mobler affordable haha! think Yaletown...

Love popping into this little gastown shop whenever I'm in the area. They have loads of…read moreVancouver-esc decor for your home as well as a nice selection of jewelry. Near the back they have a small but stylish furniture section where you can find lots of currently in style stuff to fill your home with. My favourite part of this store has got to be the quite large plant section they have in the back. There is always some new and interesting plants to choose from and the pots/arrangements are stylish and very well done. The price point is pretty good considering the quality of the pottery and plants. Though the store has a slightly higher price point I don't think it's unreasonable considering the uniqueness of some of the items and the quality of the pieces. I would suggest popping in when you are in the neighborhood to give them a little look. I'm sure you will find something you're going to love and will look great in your home :)

They have gorgeous flowers, books, candles and good quality chocolates. There are also plenty of stuff to browse. I can easily stay there for an hour. Today, I went in to buy two pair of pants and two bars of chocolates. The staff are very nice, helpful and friendly. PS After you shop, make sure you pop in Paragon to pick up a drink :)

Some dishware sets, teapots... What did piqued my eye are these measuring spoons in the shape of a heart, a set for $28, and you bet it's stainless steel, so a nice fun secondary gift to get in time for Valentine's ;), and especially for a great cook. Friendly service, offered a few suggestions.

The selection of vintage and vintage-inspired goods is wide-ranging, from tea cup candles, to metal furniture, to quaint decor like phrenology hands and puppy dog tail hooks. It's always a pleasure to pass by to see whether they have anything new in store! They also have a website in which you can browse through their collection and later ring them to hold for you (as they understandably don't hold everything in-store). And the other useful services they offer are upcycling your used furniture and a finding service in which you can submit photographs of what you're looking for and have the store help you in your search. Very nifty! Overall, L'Atelier offers extensive services and a remarkable array of home decor, and the people have never failed to provide excellent hospitality. This is definitely one of my favourite shops in the area for all these reasons!

My children always love our annual visits to these wonderful people. As do my grandchildren. They swear the upstairs area is haunted. Have purchased several lovely armoires, console tables and lamps over the years which have survived well in our busy home. My annual go-to for all things Lunar New Year: envelopes, guest gifts, paper bunting swags, window art etc.,.. The store also houses a fascinating "museum" of Maoist era items. A nice way to spend a winter afternoon. Then cross the street for sweet buns and tea at Newtown Bakery.

Inquired for our family portrait, so for the nice, gold leafed corners, plus a conservation glass, about $250.

There are local, unique, one-of-a-kind pottery, art and photos. The main artery of the business is framing so it's probably a good thing to take a few things to frame. The owner also sells home accents such as little bowls, candle holders and odd things. It's not very high-end but looks expensive, but it's not. More earthy and local farmers' market feel than trendy, high-fashion looking accessories.
