About as far away from Woodies or B&Q as it's possible to get, avoid it at all costs if you like ordered aisles, signs, clearly displayed prices, or a lot of choice. To be sought out if you have a general sense of curiosity and might like to witness a wily, wiry man, not in the first flush of youth but nimble as a goat, disappear into the midst of what looks like pure chaos in the form of a shelving system, and arrive back within 60 seconds with precisely what you asked for - however odd or out of sight - and present it to you without fuss, usually at a cost of around two euros. If that's ok. Because he may well ask you. Bulbs. Paint. A colander. Electrical stuff. Wire. Rope. Pots. Plants. Trees. Keys. A laser spirit level, anyone? Lamps. Bike locks. Vacuum bags. It wouldn't surprise me to find there's a sofa in there somewhere, or a self-assembly garden shed (maybe even modest dwelling?), in fact next time I might ask. It might better be know as the hardware Tardis of D7, as it carries much more than its exterior suggests is possible. In fact, the question may be, what's not available in Matt's shop? I've yet to find out.

Whether it's paint, tools or nails that you're after, it's here. The photo of the shop's exterior says it all really. They even have plants and they sell Christmas trees during the Yuletide season. Only problem is you could go in there and lose track of time purchasing stuff that you never knew you wanted or needed!

My boyfriend and I just moved into a new apartment. As with any new place, you settle in and…read morerealize that some of the things you're used to, like plugs in the bathroom, or a door that opens, didn't come with the place. At first you rant and rave, "how could an apartment have no bathroom outlets!? Why is there a door here if it doesn't even open!? WTFFFFF" Then you rush out of the house in a huff and stumble upon a teeny hardware store and everything is better. That's what happened to us at least. We wandered in one day and chatted with the owner who was so helpful. We got set home with some extension cords and a kind of crowbar to bust that door open. Everything was fine and dandy, though I think we may have paid a premium for shopping at such a little place. But since the owner was there and it obviously is his livelihood, I didn't feel so bad.

You might think it strange to find a hardware store, sandwiched between a chipper and a pub, on…read morewhat is considered to be a bit of a party street. Then you realize the surprisingly wide selection of mops they sell, and it all makes sense. If you knock over a pint on Georges/Aungier/Wexford/Camden Street there's an 80% chance it'll be cleaned up with a mop from here. They also sell high-vis vests and hard hats, the former of which come in handy when sneaking into gigs and festivals....I've heard.

Sextons Garden centre is a modest wee shop in a line of shops, you go in, realise they are quite stuck for space - they must be, everything is orderly but crammed in there - then wander down to the back of the shop, then realise 3 years later you are still wandering. The back of the shop is HUGE, really, it opens out to an outdoor area offering all manner of fountains, shrubs, compost yada yada yada. They have just about anything you need for the garden - plants and hardware and from now on I shall be going here instead of Woodies.

The problem is it is not easy to find...it is located through a lane way off the Main Street, at the entrance to Celbridge Hire and right beside Gimini Hair. The proprietor told me Kildare County Council will not allow him to advertise his shop with a sign on the Main Street so he has to rely on word of mouth! Yesterday, I was able to purchase a whole lot of different light bulbs for various light fittings, even one for my freezer...and might I add at an extremely reasonable rate. All you Celbridge people, do call to this amazing little shop for all your electrical needs and other household items!
