Finally made it to Chanos!…read more Lots of stuff to look through! Hard part was it's 50/50 in items being labeled for pricing. Which is a little odd then when you make it to checkout/makes me personally not want to grab non-labeled items. Another customer told me you can kind of bargain/haggle the pricing but if that isn't something you're comfortable doing... Overall the price I was given for my total was my max I would have spent had she gone higher I would have asked her to individually note the prices so I could put one thing back. I personally would have priced it probably $5 less especially due to one of the items being a short basket that had some imperfections and I couldn't see it being valued for more than $3 based on average of other places I'd been. But it was an experience

I share similar sentiments with those who have mentioned that Chano's Warehouse feels overcrowded…read moreand picked over, likely due to its recent popularity on social media. I miss the days when parking wasn't a challenge, as the lot is now often packed. The space itself isn't the cleanest--pretty dusty, and some items, like the records, are heavily scratched and have an unpleasant smell. I understand that thrifting and vintage shopping often come with some wear and tear, especially in a space of this size, but compared to my favorite resale shops, it doesn't quite measure up. Additionally, the selection doesn't seem to rotate much, and I rarely find more than one or two worthwhile items. If there were a wider, more consistently refreshed inventory, I wouldn't mind the cleanliness issues as much--I love digging through things to find hidden gems. That said, the staff is very kind and friendly, and the prices are pretty reasonable, which is definitely a plus. Just a heads-up--these pictures are from my first visit, and after returning this past Saturday, I noticed that the stock hasn't changed much and feels more picked over compared to my initial trips.

Really love this store. I visited this place with my girlfriend and I received a very warm welcome…read more The furniture selection is very nice and well priced. They have many very nice pieces for a very low price. Compared to the stores in Chicago, the items he are much nicer, better restored and in overall better shape. I plan to come back soon to get a few pieces from them.

We purchased a dresser through Joint Effort Studio and I highly recommend both the shop space and…read morethe service. The shop on National Ave is super fun to browse - there's even vintage clothing and a little jewelry studio in the back. The mid century modern items change constantly - they're always getting new items. The service was great - Jesse was really flexible in arranging a time to deliver the piece. It was all smooth sailing with these guys and I only wish we had a larger space to accommodate more furniture.

Antiques can sometimes be ridiculously overpriced, but Atelier has fair pricing, offering 20% off on certain items and giving future discounts of 10% and 20% based on how much you spend.

Speaking of Lisa Slodki, I love her designs so much that I've purchased multiple pairs of earrings for myself, four necklaces, and I bought a few necklaces for my girlfriends as birthday and Christmas gifts. I should have a punch card! They also have wonderful perfumes and oils- a few of my favorite scents include sandalwood, palo santo, coconut, and patchouli.

Getting to see so many curated spaces,touch a bunch of fabrics,be submersed in a piece of furniture. I came hear for their cookies! Left with 10 packs.The cutest packaged cookies I've ever seen with hearts for my tea parties. I'm ecstatic that they came out with a third flavor! Lemon Vanilla! I have yet to taste test. Also! 2 for $3 if you're an in ikea member instead of 2 for $5. The membership is free and they call you family after, so worth it and it's funny because you may not be related to your friend by blood but family through IKEA :) I seriously don't think I'll have room today to taste test after having their Swedish meatball lunch with linenberry juice. LINNENBERRY juice! I seriously love it. It's way better than cranberry juice, sweeter but more refreshing. It's an ikea thing. I also came for my snake plant (I heard they're impossible to kill:) ) got that! Got a breakfast in bed tray for my picnics. This place sparks up great convo with your friend and just great inspo all around if you're a visual person,such cute stuff. Some funky looking stuff, all quit practical. As someone who appreciates systems and inclusivity, you name it this place has got it down. Besides handi-capped parking there is parking for expecting mothers and parents with children! The bathrooms have complimentary toiletries. Staff is attentive. Finished off with the second meal place after checking out after we read a sign about free ice cream! :) who can pass that up, got a boat load of strawberry vanilla swirl. And a hotdog (for the experience) and had a complimentary cinnamon roll sample while we waited and figured out the self serve ordering kiosk.

Every time I sit there the blue triangular chair/tables appear as though they haven't been wiped off for at least a week. The round table in front of us same thing. Has not been wiped off for at least a couple days. I noticed there was less salmon on the salmon/potato salad plate they serve. When I asked about it, I was told they reduced the amount of salmon to comply with some standard for portion control...However, they did not lower the price.

And the opportunity to have your chosen plants planted in your choice of planters on the spot makes it so special, especially for someone like me who can't seem to pot a plant to save my life. The store is heavily stocked but not overwhelming; it takes a while to see it all and decide what all I wanted to get. It is a lot of fun to shop here. Park at the Public Market for the easiest way to find a spot or wait for a spot on the street. I am not sure about accessibility as it is a few steps to get in the front door. I didn't see another option but I also didn't look for one. I hope they have access somewhere but call ahead to be sure.
