Hi Corky,

I went to Home Outfitters yesterday in Kelowna. It's good for pictures, bathroom stuff, kitchen stuff etc more accesories than furniture. Prices aren't bad. I would compare it to that home decor shop that BHS did, can't remember the name now, they had a good one in Bath?!

I would recommend that anyone coming over should bring their bed linens from the UK as there is no comparison here. Watch for duvet sizing though as we found the sizes different here.

What I would give for a Laura Ashley & Next...................dream on!

i have just been informed by my sister (lives in dartmouth) there is a new store opened in halifax that has great up to date fashionable house hold things like curtains etc, called OUTFITTERS, so Mikejw go take a look when you get out there in august and let me know what it's like.:D

Sorry to say this but they are in the Toronto area and I don't recall being that impressed the couple of times I was in there last year. However, I was impressed to find duvet clips to stop your duvet moving around (except I've never tried using them yet).
