If you're into Victorian stuff, this is your store. The main store is located in a strip mall a…read morecouple minutes east of downtown Dexter. It has pretty standard hours. There's also an associated store called "Frivolities- downtown" that's only open on Fridays and weekends. They sell furniture, home decor, gifts and all things with a Victorian theme. Lots of carved wood and flowers and such. A lot of it isn't up my alley, but I found a few nice pieces. My mother goes nuts over this stuff, and this is where I'd plan to take her shopping the next time she visits.

I love Victorian inspired goods but I wouldn't go to this store again. One of store clerks (I think…read moreit was the owner) watched me like hawk as a browsed the store. I think she thought I was a thief. It made me feel uncomfortable. The funny thing is I love the things they sell and if it were not for the poor treatment I would be a frequent customer. A message to shop owners: Don't be so paranoid. You could lose money.

If you are looking for quality products and outstanding customer service, I wholeheartedly recommend Esquire Interiors.

It's not huge but it's got pretty much all you'll need for most minor repairs and around the house needs. In addition to all that, they have a cute section in the front with some home decor and gifty things, including a pretty solid Rifle Paper Co. selection which excited me! Overall a very cute, handy, and convenient hardware store that's perfect for townies. FYI--They don't have their own dedicated lot but it's easily accessible from either the front on the main drag as well as in the back where there is plenty of public parking.

I found JPC on Google in February and they came out to work in May after they finished a big job in Owosso. This is my first time working with a contractor on plastering so I was flying blind, but was immediately at ease with Jim Conklin the Founder and Owner. Jim knows the history and science of plastering and he is a gifted artisan. He and his colleague Ethan repaired cracks in two rooms, and in one of the rooms removed plaster to the lathe board and redid it, and in that same room took out a 8' x 8' section of plaster and lathe and completely redid it. JPC outdid themselves by rescuing a large 5' medallion which had pulled away from the plaster, by coming at it by removing the floorboards above it, and using adhesive conditioner, Teflon netting and plaster. This drew the medallion upward and solidified it. Impressive. They finished all of this work in five days. They are due back out later this year to continue the work in three other rooms. Even before JPC did their work I was spreading the good word about them, and certainly will continue to do so.
