Well assuming you are then no doubt you've been to Mark Denver to check out the extensive range of stuffed and mounted animals, industrial pieces of furniture, old scientific posters and general weirdness that fills every inch of the store. It's really quite the site and should be high on your list of "must dos" if you're in the market for interesting items to fill your home.

You won't find any of nanna's lamps in here but rather mannequins, moose heads and creepy Jesus statues. If you are re-decorating and want a quirky piece for that back corner of the lounge room, check out Denver. In fact, even if you're not redecorating I suggest you pop in for a squiz. But be careful, you might have nightmares...

Yet, as a home ware store, Supply and Demand does its jobs well enough and offers a huge range of crockery and cutlery, napkins, table matter, candle holders, vases, tea towels, bathroom gear, art and selected pieces of furniture. It also carries a great range of vintage inspired tin signs, plenty of glassware and bits and bobs to give your home a fun, quirky appeal. I absolutely love the French inspired vintage garb, new (old) milk crates, milk bottles and the elegant collection of affordable provincial style décor items. And even though the shop is quite cluttered (and it will take you some time to soak in the atmosphere), it is because of this that Supply and Demand is so much fun to shop in. Great for gifts and picking up home décor items that you don't necessarily need but just add a fun touch to your décor scheme.

Some are contemporary, some provincial, some industrial, some retro kitsch... You get the idea here. It does offer a lot, and they seem to be working on their layout of things, which these days seem more grouped according to style and also function. Yay visual merchandising! Makes for a more pleasant buying experience. True, a selection of the items sold do make you wonder about the longevity and overall quality, but like I said, an interior stylists needs the range to work with, within budget and most importantly looks great and looks the part that they are crafting in terms of achieving the style. Good stylists know that you do NOT put a room together with things from ONE single store alone even though you could and no one will stop you. But beware the raised eyebrow! Sometimes, things just need to look good from a distance. The staff mostly leave you alone until you approach the counter with your goods. Still, don't really expect the ultimate customer service here. They have an offshoot store on High Street, Armadale called Industria which focuses more on, you guessed it, industrial furniture and home wares.

And so I love 20th Century Scandinavia. It's so obviously the style of furniture to have right now, and if it wasn't obvious before, just take a look at the price tags attached to each bloody Eames chair. It's hard to deny that this era of Scandinavian furniture is particularly elegant, stylish and urban without looking at all try-hard or copycat, and it does fit so easily into Melbourne homes of a certain era. The furniture is this large beautifully laid-out store is all top quality stuff in exceptional condition and so the prices shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. If I could afford it, I so would.

So it took me a few tries to actually get into the place, and I can safely say that I'm thankful I did. Even just to pass through the amazing furniture, to smell the history, class and price tag of the all the bits arranged beautifully so. There is a fashion trend visible here, a wave the shop seems to sit confidentiality upon. The way it juxtaposes the Scandinavian furniture with nostalgic Melbournian signage gives you a little bit of time warp, a small black hole in your design history. Have these pieces always belonged together. I cannot say I have ever bought anything from here, but I like to think I will some day. It looks and feels amazing and well kept, and the lady behind the desk - sometimes feeling a little like part of the furniture - looks up and smiles to every customer that enters.

Everytime I pass by, i always do a double take because this store is always filled with beautiful homeware and décor. Think the likes of Mediterranean blue consoles, buffets and side tables, gorgeous gold table lamps, solid wood storage chests, large hurricane lamps and thick wood framed mirrors. Themed together and styled well so you can be inspired, walk through this store and you'll find a multitude of clever ideas and exquisite products to adorn your home with. I love the rustic charm of the timber pieces juxtaposed against the more modern finishing pieces. They also carry a beautifully wide assortment of candle holders and hurricane lamps which would give any dining space, mantle place, patio or living room that romantic, serene vibe.

The item I wanted didn't include dimensions, so I reached out via email and phone to get this essential information. Initially, I called and was transferred multiple times, eventually providing my number for a callback that never came. After waiting three days without a response, I emailed again but received no reply. I decided to give it some time over the weekend and tried again the following week. Finally, someone provided the dimensions, and I went ahead with the purchase. However, after a week and a half without any shipping updates, I emailed for an update since I had already been charged. I received vague communication indicating that someone would follow up, but no one did. After another follow-up, I requested a refund if shipping details weren't forthcoming. I received a refund shortly after, but again, with no further communication from the company. Overall, my experience with Third Drawer Down has been extremely disappointing. The lack of customer service and communication throughout the process has left me feeling frustrated. I do not recommend this company--it's best to steer clear.

I stumbled upon this store walking home from Barkly Square. I spotted a bamboo tiki bar (with matching bar stools) in the window and immediately gravitated towards it - it was so damn beautiful. Naturally, as most things are, it was hugely out of my price range but WOW it was nice to imagine it in my living room. Angelucci 20th Century don't just do furniture! They also have great homewares, mirrors and a variety of knick knacks (everyone loves a knick knack). A great warehouse for Saturday afternoon browsing or if you have a nice budget to spend on home-decorating or are looking for a gift with a difference. This is the second Angelucci store, sister to the Fitzroy store, and acts as more of a warehouse than a retail store.

Scout has a unique ambience that makes you feel like you've stepped into someone's cool home. A selection of unique homeware from what a hoot owl cushions, animal shaped lamps from Germany, everyday linen, summery beach towels and gorgeous bed linen are scattered around thee store. If you find this shop, make sure you get a good look at the wall art on the inside wall depicting a kid playing with a kite. It's a stunning display that the owner created himself using wool thread! Now that's what I call creative ingenuity!

If you like the idea of having unique bits and pieces about your house... vintage refurbed chairs,…read moreantique keys and old street signs but don't like the idea of having to search through dusty junk shops and grotty yards, then Scout may be the store for you. Carefully curated in a beautifully sunfilled store, Scout's contents are each worthy of a moment of your time. The store smells gorgeous... it's clean and lovingly displayed, too. I found myself sticking my nose in a number of candles, inhaling soaps and fondling curiosities. Of course, there's an opportunity cost to be worn with frequenting a store like Scout. Naturally, you're going to pay more for the pleasure of being in a beautiful store that has carefully selected wares rather than hunting them down yourself. Secondly, Scout is a rather small little shop so whilst it has a large variety of things, it doesn't have the range that other similar stores may. Nonetheless, worth a visit!
