My girlfriend and I are trying to put together a long list of things she is in need of for her upcoming renovation. She purchased a lovely old home in the north end of the city. The exterior of this stately old manor is amazing, to say the least. The interior however, leaves something to the imagination. It screams, please renovate me and quickly.

Over a glass of red we were discussing the options of where to begin. She said she wished that there were a place to do one stop shopping for all of the big ticket items needs for such an extensive remodel. We have consulted the contractor and the reps at the local Big Box Store for the sticks and bricks portion of the renovation. We are all set there.

So a little research and a few more reading Direct Buy Reviews  we have come across Direct Buy.

Direct Buy Canada is a membership driven purchasing club for all things "home." What this means is that they have compiled over 700 vendors and suppliers to give the buying members the affordability options needed for such a large project.

When buying things like flooring, textiles, appliances and high end home décor, this is indeed a viable option. Direct Buy Canada philosophy is quite simple, eliminate the middleman and the prices you pay for high end goods is anything but high end. There are realized savings for large scale purchases. Direct Buys membership is not for everyone. You've got to use it to make the benefits of membership shine through. For the person intent on buying a new coffee table, the membership may not show enough of a return. However, for the person intent on laying 2000 square feet of hardwood flooring, along with all new light fixtures, furniture, draperies, and appliances, the savings are evident.

Direct Buy Canada may be the answer to my girlfriend's wishes for that one stop home renovation shopping experience. I am sure we will be exploring the opportunities further and looking at more Direct Buy Reviews.

I look forward to researching this a little more and letting you all know how it turns out.
