Home Center

I'm looking for a home center store. Not a Home Depot / Lowes / Hardware / furniture store, but a place where ideas are displayed. Something similar to a year round home show but the items could be ordered or are stocked.

Somewhere in Northern Va there is Home Center, and it is a huge place that offers everything a Home Depot does, but on a much larger scale. You can buy commercial items there too such as plastic beams (fake), that large round heating duct you see in restaurants, and other hard to find items. . I guess that's what I am trying to say, a place that displays / sells things that you always want but Home Depot doesn't sell.

Any location w/ a few hours of Phoenix is fine. I was in Vegas a couple years ago but didn't stop to ask if they had anything similar.

An IKEA just opened up in Tempe a few months back. It's huge, and has such displays, but they tend to focus more on Swedish designs (being a Swedish company), so everything is very sleak and trim.

I think there's a place in Phoenix called "The Big Tin Shed" that has something similar, but with different styles. Other than that.. I'm not sure.
