Woohoo, I have discovered Farmers, what a fab shop, they have online catalogues, but you have to go into the store to buy, but it gives a great idea on prices http://www.farmers.co.nz/specials-ftc1249.html

I've also discovered mitre 10, www.mitre10.co.nz, I thought they were a bit pricey.

Happy shopping everyone :clap

Mitre 10 is like B&Q your typical hardware store. Great though for all the necessities of DIY :D Cheaper option are all the builders merchants around, just have to look for them. Although Mitre10 is a great starting point.

Have a look also at www.freedom.co.nz , quite pricey but does some really lovely furniture and accessories. This is of course if you haven't already discovered it ;)

Also Bunnings are a DIY store, similar to Mitre 10 but they seem to be a bit cheaper, and Placemakers, but I think they are the most expensive. LOVE Farmers

Oh love freedom furniture and askodesign (thanks guys), I am going to enjoy the shopping experience in NZ, I can feel it already.

I am a self-confessed shopaholic and I can't wait to start furnishing our house, for the first time ever, I have permission from hubby to spend!

[Delson]

[Moorf]

Err, no, he's in bed with flu (or as it is known in the man world - near death experience), so I'm happily shopping away :D

I have saved money, but we can't eat off the floor when we arrive now can we and everyone's going to need a bed too. Ah, I'm only window shopping, but it's such fun.

And what, may I ask, is wrong with Trash Palace?

Any way you got all the Pig and Mix, I got trash palace la la la.

And I like that shop Moorf, there several similar here, I can't remember their names but they make Farmers look like Ikea.
