Derek's is a gloomy and cluttered store on Payneham Road…read more The front exterior wall and much of the interior is strewn with mirrors of all shapes and sizes refelecting the surroundings and the resultant reflections in an odd manner. There are many different frames constructed and otherwise throughout the interior of the shop, but in none of the ordered fashion you will find in most framing places. There are some very nice frames here, antique and gold leaf, as well as many much less appealing. As well as picture frames and mirrors, Derek's has some fireplaces as well.

Gorgeously renovated old hotel in the city for their showroom got me interested in Alby Turner and…read moreSons in the first instance, but having been a shop fitter and interior designer in my younger days I was immediately taken by the showcases they have of the modern kitchen. No wonder they have won awards here and there for their work. They are (obviously) a family business, and they do have their showroom in the city along with one out at Holden Hill, there's a web site and a factory where they do the building of the various elements that then get expertly fitted into your renovated home, your new home or your facility. They are not the costless version of kitchen fitters, they're not the most expensive but they are in the high end range price wise; you only have to look at the style elements and materials they favour to get an idea of how beautiful their work is, and how superior it is to the more generic kitchens available at places like Bunnings. If you have to capital to create your own dream home I would suggest you visit their website for a browse, and then get an appointment to go into the gorgeous showroom in the city if you want a more hands on experience.

Mark Heidenreich is the man to talk to if you fancy one of those gorgeous terra cotta vases or…read moreurns, pot planters or bird baths to sit in your patio area or somewhere in the garden. He is a shy but talented fellow who quietly works away in the yard of his studio shopfront and creates magnificently beautiful items for sale. He has a reputation for delivering on time, within budget and always quality produce. You could go to one of those import shops that bring planter pots from over seas, and the price may be marginally better, but you are bound by what they can provide you with - if you go to Mark, he is making what you are paying for, so you can negotiate subtle nuances on the item - the family crest for example, or the name of the house... maybe you would like a particular shape. What Mark does is create art - so it is in the original art end of the price scale, but have a look at his work and chat to him before you rush off elsewhere and buy something that may not make you as happy as something Mark will create. He is not so expensive it's not worth checking out. He is just not a bargain basement either. The work is very high quality and you may be one of those people who enjoy supporting local talent as well, so consider a visit to his wonderful studio where you are likely to find the character and atmosphere wins you over, along with the man himself, he is a really nice guy.

There are some amazing ideas in this store. If you have a renovation project, just want a change or…read morehave just moved into a house, you'll get some good ideas in here. The staff are really helpful. I took in a picture of the back room I needed blinds fitted on and they really took the time to go over designs with me. I had no idea what I wanted, but they took me around, showed me the options available to me and then let me decide. There were no pushy sales tactics which was nice to see. Once I had decided on the blinds I wanted out came the samples. They had a lot of options for me. Again I was shown everything and then given time to decide. They did offer suggestions on what they thought may fit the room, but again there was no sales push. They offer nice friendly service with a lot of options. Just be prepared to be bombarded with options.

So as you're driving back from the beach along Henley Beach Road, just before you come to Tapley's…read moreHill Road on the left - STOP!!! Otherwise you'll miss this amazing little shop that is full to the brim of the most GORGEOUS stuff!! I've driven past here a million times and have always meant to stop and have a look. Why, oh why didn't I do it sooner?? I was greeted by the fresh-faced Sarah whose enthusiasm was contagious! I was left alone to browse (love that!!) and wished I had more than 2 eyes to take in everything that the store had to offer. From stunning artworks, to Adelaide Hills-made candles, to pottery; throw rugs; THE most gorgeous cushions EVER; little knick-knacky things that you just so have to buy; swinging love-chairs; vases; table lamps and oil burners. I could go on - but that'd spoil it for you! One of the things that I loved about Design Revival is that they source as much as possible locally - and are very proud of that fact. And so they should be. Adelaide is filled to the brim with amazing talent and the more places that that can be showcased the better in my humble opinion. Anyway - even if you're not passing by - make the effort. It's SO worth it.
