Retail Therapy Part 1

2008 posted in Home Finds, What's In The Mag by Rachelle, Real Living Editor-in-Chief.

I’ve been doing a lot of retail stuff lately, judging stores for a major retail group. It’s been fun going around the shops, but so sad I could hardly snap up anything—because I’ve been so broke lately. :(

So instead of griping to the high heavens, I shall instead indulge you, dear readers and blog lurkers, with unpublished photos of some of the stores we featured in our October Best Home Stores list. I shall only feature 3 entries, from lo to hi, starting with lo (actually, mid-lo) —everyone’s favorite, Ikea, found in that not-so-secret store with the cryptic name, Mayflower 1620. Here is one of their shelves, full of small, affordable products, yum!

Mayflower 1620

Lampan and Lykta lamps, all affordable. Love it!

…Storage, storage, more storage (oh why can’t they bring the actual depot here?!)…

Storage units

…and a chair that looks suspiciously like something Ross Lovegrove already made…

Living room stuff

..and of course, the kiddie section. If you’re looking for no-frills furniture and super-cute kiddie accessories, make a beeline to this place.

Hard to find, but masaya. Check it out at Mayflower 1620, 4977 Enrique Street, Palanan, Makati City; URL: http://rooms101.multiply.com. (Photos by Jun Pinzon)
