Homer

Homer personifies every kitchy home store these days. It has bunting, interesting mis-​matched plates (most of which appear to be charity shop finds), shabby chic furniture, etc. Some things it does well — it’s fun to browse as it’s laid out and decorated very well– and others not so well. In the «not so well category» I will include the small loveseat in one of the rooms that’s priced at over £1k (if my memory is correct) and basically looks like a dirty dog slept on it for years. It appears to have formerly been white, but just looks dirty now.
A thousand pounds for a dirty couch? Ooh where can I sign up?!
I was also somewhat bemused by the used/​antique gardening tools. Ok so they might look cooler than new gardening tools, but that’s just not practical at all. As the owner of properly antique gardening tools, I’m pretty sure there’s a reason they don’t make them like that anymore.
As I said, it looks really nice in here and I’m sure some of what they carry is excellent, but I am struggling to get past the prices (most furniture was well over the £1k mark) as well as the dirty looking furniture and charity shop finds.
