The Homestore – Sylvia Park

The Homestore is a great addition to Sylvia Park and aside from being a huge fan of their tea towels (check them out, they are seriously great), its my favourite place to buy homeware.
What I love about this place is that there’s always something here that I know my mum will love. It could be a new cookbook or a new salad serving set, but whatever it is, The Homestore has it. It’s also home to appliances, dinner sets and bathroom accessories. I’d like to think I become a little more domesticated after every visit, and i’m always sure to pick up something useful for myself. I’m an avid baker and they’ve got some great cupcake patty tins and some awesome cake decorating supplies aswell. If you’re a party planner, they’ve got some cute decorations– think lanterns and garlands.
A few days before Christmas last year this place was so busy, and in my haze of last minute Christmas shopping I found some comic relief in the lady who served me at the counter. I never got her name but she was hilarious. We didn’t speak about much in particular, but I just remember laughing and joking with her about the perils of Christmas shopping. Just being able to have a normal conversation that wasn’t about what I was buying was quite refreshing. I bought a few glass items and she made sure to double package them (I was carrying a lot of stuff already), so they wouldn’t smash on my way out. She was so thoughtful and pretty much made my night! I really do love The Homestore– the ultimate stop for anything your home needs.
