Vancouver Crate and Barrel Store Opening — Spring Ready!

by Tazim Damji

crate and barrel spring in Vancouver

One of my favourite perks about being a blogger in Vancouver, is attending store openings. A long time fan of Crate and Barrel — having spent hours walking around every one I have come across, while travelling in the USA — I was super-excited when I heard of one opening in Vancouver. The wait was finally over, Greg and I got to check out British Columbia's first Crate and Barrel store, last night, before it was open to the general public. The only other Crate and Barrel store that I've been ...

Store Tour – Mid-Century Modern HOME in New Westminster B.C.

by Tazim Damji

While in New Westminster on an errand, last weekend, I stopped in to the River Market. The place is pretty empty, apart from a few bakeries and food places, and a small grocery store. One place I didn't expect to find there was a mid-century modern furniture store. This style of furniture is definitely my favourite , and I used to own quite a few pieces—before I moved back to Calgary, and then here again. The Mid-Century Modern HOME store recently moved to their new location in River Market, ...

Vancouver Habitat for Humanity Restore Tour

by Tazim Damji

Vancouver habitat for humanity restore

I didn't just luck out finding great DIY supplies when I went to the Vancouver Habitat for Humanity ReStore (for the Ultimate Upcycle Challenge) a few weeks ago—there really are a lot of great materials to choose from. Although the selection is always changing as individuals, companies, contractors and others donate their stuff, there is always something interesting to make your own. Check out the outside of the Vancouver ReStore, where there are doors, marble tiles, pots, and more.  ...

On a recent trip to the (amazing) design district in Dallas, Texas, Greg and I made a special point of popping in to the BoConcept store. We were greeted by a friendly gent at the desk and told a bit about the store, the company history and the design district's idea of opening up to the public, stores that were previously only open to designers. ...

Nintendo World Store Tour in New York City

by Tazim Damji

nintendo belts

More than just a place to buy things, the Nintendo World store in New York City is a place to check out the latest games and devices from Nintendo—and to try them out, too. I imagine this store is really packed and buzzing with excitement whenever there's a new release. The first floor is where the cashiers are, and some merchandise plus 3DS and other DS consoles are available to demo. The top floor has several big tvs that people can play Wii games on, and several other smaller tvs available ...

The Calm After the Storm—Essentia’s Grand Opening in Calgary

by Tazim Damji

essentia

Located in Kensington, one of the best shopping area in Calgary, Essentia stands out on a street where kitschy décor and accessory shops overexcite the senses. The simplicity of the interior of this Natural Memory Foam (and more) store, made me feel instantly relaxed—probably exactly how you'd want to feel when picking out a mattress. I checked out the grand opening of the Calgary location of Essentia this past weekend. The customers in the store were encouraged to try out each mattress and ...
