Visit the junkyard for knick-knacks

If shabby chic is your thing, you will love the junk shops that sit behind the Turf Club in Bukit Timah. They are piled – and we mean piled – high with everything and anything you might want in a home. Whether you’re looking for dining chairs, tables, desks, mirrors or storage, these shops have everything by the dozen and for insane prices. Simply dig (on your hands and knees through cobwebs sometimes!) through the pieces to find the item you love, take a photo and show it to the staff. They will come up with a price (as there’s no way they can tag the stores!) and you can haggle a little too. On our last visit, we saw a huge vintage carousel (merry go ’round), a life-size statue of Jesus and a wooden hot tub.
