I wanted to take at least half of the stuff in Hemmings & Jarrett home with me from a home decor standpoint. The place feels so warm and inviting! I ended up buying a Christmas decoration - three Christmas gifts/boxes that light up from the inside. Each box is a different size, is red, and has a red ribbon. Cost me about $75 - I also paid them to ship the decoration home to me.

They have a bunch of home decor stuff both Tahoe branded and non, from furniture like couches and beds to ornaments. Prices are to be expected on the main drag of Truckee, but everything seemed of good quality. I picked up a wooden carved Tahoe ornament for $14! It's pretty sweet and will be a nice addition to the tree. The woman asked if I paid for parking (which I did) and gave me $.50 discount which was nice! Overall, a nice spot to pop in on and see if anything piques your fancy. I'll revisit on my next trip, for sure!

I walked in to give them the date I could pick it up because it wasn't quite ready. I told them September 27th I'd get it. Then they said okay just call when you want to pick it up and I said I'm here in front of you and I'd like to get it on the 27th--again the owner said okay call us it was and confirm. So weird. So, then I did call and remind them just because they seemed like they could care less I came in front of them asking to confirm date. When I got there they were really weird about assisting me with a small ottoman to get into my car--not I have spend $7,600 on a sofa! I got total attitude and snotty help. I will NEVER shop here again they won't see a nickel from me and I will not refer anyone to their store. So sad you cannot get local retailers to appreciate you and all the business you have sent them.

They have the Colorio separate pans and palettes so you can create your own collection. I really love the yarn area.... If you're a crafty person you need to stop in!

While the firm is world class, it was having Holly Galbo Bopp as our lead point of contact and designer that made the process outstanding. Like anything, you can get products anywhere; it's all about the people. And Holly and the DesignBar founders were amazing. From selecting items in our budget and sourcing things that were our style to being adaptable and rolling with the changes of a new build, Holly was communicative, creative, and a problem-solving wizard. Our home is truly a "home" and the look and feel is a big part of that. Highly recco these folks and am personally grateful for the work! We'll enjoy it for a lifetime!

Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience.
