My Favorite Places to Shop by Katie

I often get asked where I shop for my furniture, decor and accent pieces. So I thought I would share with you a few of my favorite places in and around Edmonton. Happy Shopping!!

Furniture & Antiques

Edmonton

Find Furniture - 5120 122 Street

http://findedmonton.com/

  • This is one of my favorite places, and where I purchased a lot of the big pieces of furniture that we have at 3 Leaf.

  • The best time to go is when they open on Wednesday 10:00am

  • They will deliver up to 4 large pieces of furniture for $50

  • Proceeds from retail sales support programs for people transitioning out of homelessness and into permanent housing, helping them build better futures.

Restore

South- 6909 - 76 Avenue

North- 8210 Yellowhead Trail

*(NEW) West- 16811 - 106 Avenue

http://www.hfh.org/restore/home/

  • Restore is mostly donated building supplies: Kitchen cabinets, doors, tile plumming ect. but you can also find used furniture.

  • This is a great place to go when looking for items to replace things in an older home (odd sized doors and windows)

  • I have found lots of great furniture pulls here

  • Proceeds support Habitat for Humanity

Home Reusables

8832 62nd Ave

http://www.homereusables.com/dev/

  • Used building materials

  • They salvage materials from buildings undergoing renovations or full-scale demolitions in and around Edmonton

  • I have found some great things in the antique section they have at the front

  • Plus they have really great staff who are helpful and friendly!

Architectural Clearing House

11507 – 120 St.Edmonton, Alberta

http://achouse.ca/

  • Used building materials includes windows, doors, plumbing fixtures, lighting, cabinets, counters, lockers

  • They have a large selection of old doors (great for DIY projects like headboards)

Decade to Decade

7425 72a St Nw, East of 75th Street on Argyll Road

http://www.decadetodecade.com/

  • This is an antique store with nice quality pieces.

  • More expensive than some of the other places listed

  • I have found some great silver pieces here, and the last time I went they had a few silver champagne buckets (they look beautiful with a potted plant placed inside)

Classic European Antiques

13314-126 Ave Edmonton

http://www.classiceuropeanantiques.com/

  • European antiques

  • Expensive

  • They have some beautiful old chandelliers and large quality antique pieces of furniture

Blue Jar Antique Mall

15230 Stony Plain Rd. Edmonton

http://www.bluejarantiquemall.com/

  • This is one of my favorite places

  • It is a new antique mall so it is a little sparse but the prices are great

  • There is a vendor that sells chalkboard paint (covers everything)

Rocky Mountain Antique Mall

7025 Gateway Blvd NW

http://rockymountainantiquemall.ca/

  • Large antique mall

  • There is another one close by (just off whyte) but this one has the better finds

  • A great place to spend an afternoon

Stony Plain

One Man’s Treasure

4912 50th Ave. in Stony Plain, AB.

http://www.onemanstreasure.ca/onemanstreasure.ca/Welcome.html

  • I love this place:)

  • It’s a smaller antique mall with some great deals

  • Carries locally handmade items

Spruce Grove

Second Chance Furniture Antiques & More

5C Alberta Ave, Spruce Grove

  • Sells used furniture

  • Not a very big space but they have some nice pieces

  • Really nice owners. They will usually come down on a price for you

Millet Alberta

There is an antique store in Millet (I cant remember the name) owned by the sweetest old man. I found a large beautiful silver tray from England for $35 (the one we place our tea cups on)

Auction

Another great way to find a deal is to visit an auction.

Kastner Auction

14740 - 111th Avenue

http://www.kauctions.ca/

  • Sign up for their newsletter and they will send you out pre auction info

  • They also show a lot of what will be auctioned on facebook

Wallpaper

Trendy Home

#150 - 15 Perron St. Downtown St. Albert, AB

http://www.trendyhome.ca/

  • They have beautiful wall paper at Trendy Home

  • Always remember when buying wallpaper that they only come in double rolls (so take the price and multiply it by 2)

When shopping at thrift stores and antique malls remember that the best way to find a deal is to go ALL the time! I often leave with nothing (okay thats not entirely true:) but the next week find the best deal. So be patient and shop often!!!

Enjoy
