Freedom

Love freedom! Hello lovely things :) became a freedom member and get great discounts… We were renovating and the savings totally paid off! Love the shop and the quality! :)

I really like Freedom now that they’re no longer trying to be IKEA.
Osborne Park store has moved a little way down Scarborough Beach Road. Larger open plan floor is great, out of control parking situation is not.
There are not enough spots, nowhere to turn around when you get to the end of the row (there’s only one) if you don’t get a spot, and pretty narrow spots given a lot of the clientele will be in SUVs. New store opened yesterday and they need to get a parking attendant stat.
Loved the sixties range (buffet/​ent. unit/​shelves) and framed dog prints (black dog canoe co, dachshund longboards).
I’ll be back soon but parking across the road.

If you want to start imagining a cool rustic mix of old and new décor this is the place for you.
The space itself wasn’t huge but the items they had on offer were really nice.
They had larger practical pieces of furniture such as couches, benches and tables. I didn’t love the couch selection that much but the tables were pretty cool and not too generic.
My favorite part of Freedom was pillows, ornaments and other decorative features. I think if you are into interior design and looking for some pieces which have gorgeous colours and cool paintings and so forth this is a place to check out.
Myself and Jason C. enquired about the club that Freedom has. It is around $ 100 to join for I think 2 years and you get about 10% off non-​sale items, 5% off sale items and recieve a $ 50 dollar voucher each time it is your bday. I think if you are buying a lot of furniture for a new place the club is worth it!

I would often look on the Freedom website and not see anything that I liked. Visiting the store in person was a whole other story!
Both the fiancé and I saw about a billion things that we wanted — lamps, side-​tables, printed cushion covers, vases, bowls and so much more. Freedom is much more like Empire, than I would have thought. We showed some restrain though.
On the day we picked up a couple of cushions ($ 40 each and some coffee mugs $ 2.95 each)., We also finally replaced our terrible sofas with two from Freedom. It was a buy one get one free offer, ‘whaaat?’ I hear you say, that’s right buy one sofa get one free. Essentially half price for a set of sofas.
We’ve been on the hunt for a new set of sofas for a while, it’s hard to find a set that have a great design, but are still of high quality and are very comfy and squishy, the way all sofas should be. Freedom hit the spot with a turquoise 3 seater beauty.
We have to wait till June to actually get the sofas, but that’s ok, it gives us a chance to save. Delivery is $ 99 in the metro area and they have finance available — 6 months interest free.
