More Shopping in the San Diego area

Here are some more tips on shopping in the San Diego area that I learned about recently.

There are a couple of areas that are great to explore if you are planning home improvements, inside or out. There are a number of stores offering a wide array of services and products for your home (furniture, decor, stone, home furnishings, design services and more). The first is Moreno Boulevard in San Diego, just off the 8 and near the 5. Located along this stretch are places like Hauser Furniture (patio stuff), San Diego Kitchen and Bath (also have a store in Encinitas on the Coast Highway), Concord Lighting, Unique Stone Imports, and a custom shutter store, Shuttermart.

Another great area offering a broad range of stores is Miramar Road in San Diego. Here you will find Mission Valley Pools, a custom store for interior/exterior doors, wine cellars and ironwork called Old World Door, Outrageous Rugs, a Sofa Design Center, a marble, granite and stone store (MGM Stone), a huge Rustic Furniture Warehouse, and an artisan quality fine furniture store named Hacienda De Isa Galeria.

IKEA, located off Friars Road in San Diego, offers a wide array of furniture, home furnishings and everything for the kitchen and bedroom at very affordable prices. There are also several stores in the Orange County area (see the website).
