We never seem to tire of coveting those mysterious trunks and vintage crockery sets as part of our dream home. If you’ve been deterred by the logistics of procuring that lovely couch from Italy or are afraid that crockery would have to be a no-show thanks to its fragile tag, Sidewalks of the World could serve as a great option. The three-tiered home store looms large and is located right opposite Mt Carmel Church. Divided into mezzanine, ground and lower ground levels, it is choc-a-bloc with opulent curios and artefacts.
