Shopping For Wine and Cheese Accessories in Istanbul...

In my previous post I tried to inspire you to get imaginative when styling your wine and cheese tables.  And….I almost heard some of you saying, "great spreads, but I don't have boards and bowls and platters and beautiful accessories like these…" 

Simple and Splendid to the rescue…here is my roundup of just a few of most beautiful serveware, platters, boards, bowls, plates, cheese accessories which you can purchase right here in Istanbul (or at least have delivered right to your door).

But first, Today's Top 5 SPLENDID STORES for housewares and home furnishings in ISTANBUL!!

4. Pera Bulvarı…Online Store…This is Turkey's leading online flash sale retailer of housewares and home decor. They have the most original products, a good variety of products and great styling (and are constantly improving themselves). I have carefully surveyed almost every single flash sale/multi-brand housewares site in Turkey and shopped from many and Pera Bulvarı almost always comes out on top…I will write in more detail about these Turkish online retailers in another post...

5. Beymen Home in Levent/Etiler…No listing of housewares in Istanbul would be complete without a mention of Turkey's leading luxury goods department store Beymen which has gorgeous home departments in it's Zorlu and Akmerkez locations. The two lines/brands they stock which I have included products from in this post are: SerenK and Rosanna Inc.
