SOUTH COUNTY Dublin matrons dreaming of kitting-out their home from top-to-bottom at Minnie Peters may be devastated to see that she is selling her Dún Laoghaire showroom, and moving to a spanking new premises in Sandyford.

Owner Miriam Peters is keen to grow the business, and so she is moving into a vast hangar-like space, and teaming up with her husband Nigel Bray, who sells Chalon kitchens and who will be moving there from Blackrock.

The bad news is that the showroom will be open by appointment only as the savvy duo concentrate on projects with private clients. The good news is that there is going to be a stock sale with 50 per cent off the lot this coming Saturday from 9am.
