Violette Interiors in Greystones

Thanks to a reader who wrote in to dublinzine about Violette Interiors in Greystones. I had a quick chat with Jennifer Murray who owns Violette Interiors and she told me that herself and her sister opened the shop in 2006, “just at the beginning of the recesssion.” “The shop is just  a little bit different, ” says Jennifer. ” We sell vintage, items like chandeliers, lace panels, painted dressers, ceramics, jewellery, lighting, gifts and scented candles.”

When everyone is rushing to IKEA to stock up on household furniture, which is fair enough, but why not think about supporting your local shops, for a brighter economic future for Ireland? Worth a thought.
