Chaotic, fun, and filled with so many treasures! Also super convenient that they have a truck business in the store for delivery. I have been looking for a nice resale shop in the city that’s affordable and has lots of options. The furniture shop portion is basically like a warehouse and the pieces are constantly rotating. The owners were very friendly and they lots of cute puppies running around the front room (if you’re lucky!)

Rose, her team, and doggies made my first visit magical! Everyone had a warm disposition and very helpful! I found this fireplace screen, which fits perfectly in my home! Thank you!

Rose's team is just amazing, I live not too far, and enjoy coming in every month or so to check out what is new and changing. Each time I have been welcomed with warm greetings and felt so comfortable. There is a huuuuge range of vintage items, from unique chairs, dressers, vanities, tables, rugs, one off pieces and more. When items miss a tag the pricing is so reasonable, and if there is a scratch, or wear and tear that comes with the piece, the team here is more than happy to assist in figuring out how to repair and retouch up a piece. The team was incredibly helpful in loading items into our car. Wrapping and assisting with getting things jenjad in. There was one trip where we had to come by the next day and they we're more than willing to accommodate.

I came across this place while bike riding since they were advertising a sale. I've must have passed this place 100 times in the past and never thought to go in and man, I can't believe what I've been missing all these years! The owner, Rose, is extremely welcoming and knowledgeable and has the most beautiful pieces. Everything is priced extremely well (and easily negotiable) but don't listen to the reviews that her things are overpriced. The higher priced pieces are based on hand-craftmanship that you just don't find anymore so they are worth it IMO. Don't be turned off by her store setup as that's not the point, everything in there is well curated and you can find just about anything you're looking for. Definitely listen to other reviews that recommend taking your time, as this is not the place to rush or be rushed. Rose also gave me a great deal on delivery and her staff were very nice and did a great job with delivery. Rose even gave me some plant clippings from her fabulous collection in the front. I will 100% be coming back and bringing friends! Thank you so much again, Rose!

Rose is a gem and her store is marvelous. Allow yourself some time to wander and look through it all. You never know what trinket may speak to you! Glassware, art, fabric, frames, rugs and lots of furniture! I was warmly welcomed and then respectfully left alone to look around and take it all in. Rose made sure to check in and see if I had questions about anything. We ended up having a great conversation about gardening and nature. I hope to visit again soon.
Beth thank you so much it was a great pleasure meeting you talking to you seeing your face glow when you spoke of your dream job. That is what the world needs more people like you that have that passion and drive to do a job not for the money you will make but for the difference you can make. Go out there and save the world You inspire me

Rose and her team were incredible. They honored a misplaced post it price, didn’t charge me for the truck ride a couple blocks to my house, and had sweet deals on everything else. Will be going back!
