Davidson Chambers was created by mutual friends (Janice & Davidson) who have always shared a love of food (mostly dips and cheese!), decor and a passion for retail and shopping. The sharing of this enthusiasm created a friendship that now is measured only in “how old is Erin now”, the youngest of Janice’s three children, who was seven years old when they first met. Erin will be 33 in 2022. Even though the locations might have changed over those years, the love for food and decor hasn’t, it’s only grown into so much more. The love of entertaining just added to the mix.

Both Janice & Davidson have let food be their guide for all their travels. Together or not, the bond of food has been shared, sometimes in pictures and talking about the story after, or bringing back that prized item to share. They both have an English heritage (yes not known for the finest culinary scene in the past, but so much better now) but the classics and comforts of that heritage still bring back lots of memories of family, vacations and home.

So why Vancouver Island and Sidney? Well, both had lived in Vancouver for over 20 years. It has evolved, changed and has so many home decor stores, while the island has not seen as many. However, in Sidney, there is an evolving retail presence, more people moving from the surrounding cities nearby, and a more slower, balanced pace. Along with the convenient location, only minutes from one of the largest ferry ports in British Columbia, it is the gateway to the island and often the first stop for those coming from the smaller Gulf Islands.

We strive to have the perfect blend of products that have been curated and hand-picked from around the world. Inspiring store environment, along with personal service that is a thing of the past for most brick and mortar stores. Our team is looking forward to you visiting our store and finding that just-right piece of dinnerware, candle or gift for your next gathering.

Bon Appetit, Janice & Davidson
