I so wanted to browse and check out every little corner but with little ones in tow maybe some other time. Beelined to the paint shelf, debated on a few colors... so many pretty ones to choose from. I also had the kids picked out their fav colors in sample size cans to paint our next project. Brought home 4 different colors, a few brushes, clear wax finish and a paint roller. Annie Sloan is not cheap... I def splurged. The owner was so sweet, gave me an impromptu class on chalk paint 101. Said to give her a call if I have any questions. Can't wait to build my paint color collection.

The staff was very helpful in showing the different options. And their website was helpful before I even walked in the door. I knew I would have a great selection to choose from. The atmosphere was very pleasant, with lovely piano music playing in the background and the cutest little dog greeting us as we entered. Once we received our framed art in a very timely manner the final piece turned out awesome! The quality was was just what we were looking for. We look forward to working on another piece of art.

My husband had definite ideas about styles we should consider (which I was not always in sync with) due to his decades of experience as a contractor working with electricians and interior designers. As we looked through catalogs and discussed options, I watched the salespersons(?) give one another "looks" which made me very uncomfortable. It was clear my husband was being "mocked" for his opinions. We spent a fair amount of time in the store talking to them and I tried to make light of the multiple instances. When we finally left I told my husband what I observed and that I did not want to buy anything from them. We ended up ordering two Livex fixtures online from Lighting New York.
