WE HAVE RETIRED

Mint has shut shop for the time being.  This is what we used to do.

Situated in the heart of Glenwood and next to The Corner Cafe, Mint is a décor shop with a difference. Specialising in smalls and furniture, it's the perfect place to find unique signature décor items that feel like home.

Instead of adding to the planets’ evergrowing mounds of plastic, Mint finds beautiful objects from the past and restores them.

The shop sells everything from ice-cream scoops to light-fittings to dining room tables, with the idea that everything in your home should be beautiful, functionality never being enough.

Most of the items for sale are from the early age of mass-production when quality and durability were more important variables than cost.

The store is full of deeply beautiful objects and infused with owner Kirsten Machen’s innate sense of form and style. 

The store is not, however, a typical highly stylised décor store. Instead, eclecticism is the order of the day and design harmony is achieved through many discordant elements.
