Dream Depot in Cheonan

Dream Depot in Cheonan

3 Floors of Awesomeness!!

Earlier this week, I went with a couple friends from Protestant Women of the Chapel (PWOC) to Dream Depot in Cheonan. Dream Depot is a craft store, art store, and party supply store.
It is awesome!!

From Camp Humphreys:
(It took us about 45 minutes from New Housing where I live.)
Exit out the CPX gate (or the main gate really) and turn right on 45 towards Asan
45 will combine with 32 towards Dunpo
Keep following 45 towards Asan (will fork to the left at one point)
Take 628 towards Cheonan
628 will fork several times, but keep following the signs for 628 towards Cheonan (often coincides with highway 1)

When you see this building, you need to do a U-turn at the light.
If you get to the Lotte World, you've gone too far.

You will have passed "Dream depot" on the left.

Once you have done a U-turn and Dream depot is on your right, go just past it and turn right. 

You should see signs with a P for parking.

If there is no parking right behind the building, you will have to go down this ramp pictured below for the parking inside the parking structure.

Inside the parking structure, you will take these stairs up to the main level. 

Keep following the arrows!!

There's the door to Dream depot!

Be careful on the stairs ;)

Dream depot has 3 levels.

The first level has lots of pens, organizational bins, and many other things!

Minion keychains! This is a great place to find wonderful little gifts for family and friends back in the States!

Great organizational stuff!!

Super cute plastic drawers!
Koreans love everything to be "cute" :)

Floor mats, including the wood-looking raised flooring popular in many Korean-style homes.

Plastic pots!

Batteries galore!

Printer cartridges...

Pens! The changing color kind! You can even choose the pen you want along with the colors you want!

I remember having one of these in school :)

They have great little notebooks for prayer and Bible study!

Handmade cards

Jewelry making materials...

Sewing accessories, patches...

My friends were so fun to be with! But her little girl definitely got the most attention! Koreans love babies even more than Americans!

Bows and headbands...

Things to make your own bows...

The 2nd Floor had lots of office supplies!

Also toys! Lots of toys!

Twist-up crayons! I love these!

Electronics! Koreans love technology. I'm not sure I've been in a store without some form of technology being sold.

Label and picture paper!

Giant and tiny office supplies!

Loved all the office accessories...

So many types of glue! 

(Sorry, not gonna take the time to go back and rotate this picture ;)

Magnets!

Stamps and ink!

I was seriously debating these alphabet stamps!

So many colors to choose from!

Little ID holders/bags...

My mom would love these!

Clipboards of every kind...

So many toys!

Sports equipment! I want a volleyball!!

(Side note: I played volleyball in 8th and 9th grade and loved it!)

Plastic shoes ;)

Label holders...

Plastic stands and storage...

Traditional Korean games!! I am definitely gonna have to check some of these out!

Cutting mats...

The 3rd Floor has lots of art and party supplies!

Colored rocks, shells, and sands...

Easels and frames... 

I love my friends! So silly ;)

Every color of spray paint!! They are kinda pricey though at 12,500 won apiece (and that's on sale)!

So many types...wish I knew what they said ;)

Might end up buying this to use on our dining table we built!

Now these were the cheap spray paints, but there were limited color choices. 

Also, I'm really not sure what "lacquer paint" should/should not be used for...

Lacquer paint color choices...

Awesome canvases!! So many shapes! Not just boring rectangles :)

Ribbon!

A painter's dream store...

Small pieces of wood like dowels...

Some mirrors...

Masking tape in a ton of colors and patterns!

Buttons :)

Wood accessories...I bought that tree one at the bottom...

Plenty of decor for classrooms or for parties...

I really like these tin boxes and the wire baskets at the bottom, but they were a bit pricey. That white basket on the bottom, left was about 20,000 won (or about $20). I'm kinda cheap though ;)

These are pretty cool...traditional paper folding projects.

Little model kits...

Paper pom poms in all different colors and shapes...

Tiny clothes pins and paper clips...

So many tiny things!

Metal sheeting...might be great to use in a frame for a jewelry board?

Fabric and paper flowers...

Party supplies!

Such a cutie! She has no idea why we are so enthralled... ;)

Halloween costumes! If you need one before Halloween...

Balloons in all different colors!
My friends bought tons of supplies for a baby shower here!

I love masks ;)

Wigs...

Even noodles! These would be great to make wreaths out of too!

Foam balls for decor! 

Even fireworks!!

All ready for her 1st birthday party...way in the future ;)

All you could need for a magic show...

Birthday candles!

Tons of plastic-type fabric or sticky-backed fabric...

Foam board in lots of colors...

Really cool sticky-backed paper! I love glitter!

Plastic bowls...not sure what to use these for, but at least they have them right!

Close-up on the metal sheeting from earlier...I keep coming back to these...maybe a DIY project in my future?! Oh and they had semi-transparent, square, colored plastic that would be great for a dry erase board if you didn't want a boring white one!

They even have sand paper!

Love me some wooden toys, but man are they expensive! Almost $50 for this small plastic container...

Fabric markers...

Fabric dyes...

Cheaper paints...

 RIT dyes for those pinterest projects I've pinned!

They had coordinating fabric tape!! I wanted some so bad, but I was determined not to come home with anything that I didn't already have a project planned for!

Yeah, we had quite a haul when we got done! But we did all three use one cart ;) so it's really not that bad! We did spend several hours here! Heehee :)

And of course, days later I realized that I got NO pictures of myself... Typical.

We had so much fun and ate McDonald's on the way home! 

I will definitely be going back there in the near future!!
