Thank You Sharon and Paul, For assisting us with our renovating needs including a Silky Oak Display Counter and a pair of French doors, we had the luxury of been able to pick from a hundred pairs of French Door and about five large display counters. Paul went over and above in helping us out and he knows his stuff. Great value and range of unique items. If you are renovating you should call in and check it out.

My first time visiting this "grand" place was with a friend this week. Grand Ideas has everything from nick-nacks, to doors and door hinges, mirrors, clocks, old advertising memorabilia, amongst many other things at really good prices. Plus there is a cafe in store! ☕✅ I wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone. It's like an Aladdin's cave full of treasures waiting to be discovered 😎👍

What a interesting place to find on a rainy day. Loved it. Lots of hidden treasures. Came away with some great pieces for our home. Look forward to explore again soon. Friendly and helpful staff. Thank you👏

A treasure trove of junk. A sensational place to find that special stuff you need for a renovation or an innovative architectural design

This place is amazing if you are a builder or DIY. They have loads of old doors and other things is definitely a visit if you are renovating an old Queenslander or post war house. Or even movie props as they had 2 production companies arrive and purchase a heap of things.

I love having a coffee and browsing through all the industrial furniture and quirky wall art and antiques at Grand Ideas. We sold some of our colonial doors and windows from the Queenslander we renovated last year to Paul and he looked after us. We're about to start our second renovation project shortly and will get some original stained glass windows from Grand Ideas to add some more character to our old home. French Doors Brisbane is definitely worth visiting and they have a massive range out the back that you could literally explore for hours.

Old rusty intriguing and AMAZING! I now visit every time I am in Brisbane and there is always many things I lust after. Good thing most won't fit in my car. History comes alive in places like Grand Ideas.

What a great hidden gem. Will certainly keep this place in mind for the next DIY project, they will definitely have any odd part and pieces you need. Just go for a cruise around the place and come away with a thousand ideas to try. Nice little coffee shop too, coffee was good. Overall a really good vibe from here

I can’t wait to visit again on my travels to Brisbane. I spent well over a hour looking around. The staff are very polite and helpful with finding things if your after something particular.

If you want old rustic, vintage collectible, antique, and the odd things to create with and love rusty old things this is the place

This place is so fun to walk through. No matter how much money I have in my pocket I can always find a little treasure to take home. Quiet and overflowing with interesting and beautiful things.

If you have a bit of time & you don’t mind having a bit if a rummage, then this place is an absolute Treasure Trove! Paul’s a Top Bloke & all the Team are extremely helpful & friendly & they serve Excellent Coffee! ...just in-case your partner is not quite as enthusiastic as you are... :0) Thank you Paul & the Team, my latest acquisition (rustic old hand-hedge-shears) are now restored / razer-sharp / fully working & now I gather something of a classic with a lovely embossing “Arhem’s Good Line Germany”
