Fantabulous new (opened roughly 9/6/22) home decor and gift store in downtown Eagle where a modern storefront invites you in to a beautifully merchandised space with quality products, and unique ones for the area, with welcoming owners and staff to provide as much assistance as you need. This is a great shopping experience not only for the organic meets casually sophisticated items for home decor, entertaining or gifting throughout the store but also for setting up the layout in a way that provides a lot to look at but with ample space to make it comfortable and accessible for all shoppers to do that and allows you to imagine how things would work in your own home or as gift for someone else.
So. Very. Well. Done.
No other owner operated store for home decor and accessories in the area comes close to this on every level from space, to merchandising to customer care. I left with several purchases because the owner made it so enticing to shop for myself and for gifts. I also left with my imagination engaged to think about how I might use or gift other things I saw in the store so I will want to go back and shop again. And for the quality of the products and the neighborhood, I thought the price points were really good ones.
"GO": Shop here now because I imagine when they are fully discovered this will be such a busy place that their only difficulty may be keeping up with all the customers coming in to buy. And you can buy from their online store if you choose, see website for details, but if you can go in here do that for a wonderful customer experience.
OWNER OPERATED: The owners are a couple originally from Michigan or Minnesota...I am embarrassed to say I can't remember which of those...she the creative and talented person who does the buying of products and store merchandising that make the store so delightful and lovely to shop in. He retired from corporate job and now teaching (marketing) at BSU who I assume helped with the excellent marketing set up for the store, both bricks and mortar materials like signs and web site. Such nice people in addition to being talented.
THE SPACE: Newly built building with big windows on street, high ceilings inside with exposed duct work, all painted black, and a sort of organic meets welcome and sophisticated but not intimidating vibe.
PRODUCTS: You'll find detailed info on their products at their web site but in general they include:
* home decor that is both seasonal and spanning seasons including things like pillows, framed art prints, vases, vessels like baskets and bowls, metal trays, risers, art stands, birdhouses, seasonal and season spanning faux botanicals of high quality...
*kitchen and entertaining items like textiles as in table runners and cloth napkins and dish towels, seasonal paper cocktail and full size napkins, seasonal mugs, stone / granite and wooden cheese boards (that would also work great for the current butter board craze), condiment dishes (including one design that my husband particularly like with a groove in the dish to insert on horizontal the spreader that came with it), plates for using on the table or for appetizers...
*things for gifts or to treat yourself like candles, luxury soaps, beautiful cards and other stationary, wrapping paper...
ALL PEOPLE ARE WELCOME: I noticed, in the roughly hour I shopped with my husband even happily along for the ride for "go slow to see everything" meander about the store, that other shoppers ranging from the "cool looking" young women in a group, who were coming back for a second shopping trip because they said the first one was so good, to we decidedly...umm...more mature and not so cool looking shoppers across age groups, including surprisingly several men who were with women I assumed to be spouses who were seeming to enjoy it, and all of us receiving top notch service.
ACCESSIBILITY: I have had multiple sclerosis since my college days and rely on businesses following the 32 year old ADA for physical rules of access. No other home store in the Eagle area so beautifully follows the rules for clear floor spacing to get about. Which makes it more lovely an experience for all shoppers...good access is good for everyone.
PARKING: Eagle has not done a good job of planning for parking downtown and so you will find here that parking is on street if you can find it or maybe at a distant lot near city hall. Recommend planning your visits at less busy times of day for parking to be available.
SET UP AN ACCOUNT FOR POINTS: See the web site or you'll be asked when you check out at the store if you'd like to set up an account on line which means when you make purchases there are points credited to you that eventually can be redeemed for a dollar amount to be used towards other purchases. As if the great store set up and top notch service weren't enough to cement customer loyalty, they are, this adds another dimension too. read more
