To start, the process to refine the designs to match our needs and lifestyle was very frustrating and Alyce was often passive aggressive when doing so. She would make remarks like "some clients just cut me the check and let me do everything", "you need to take up drinking." She commented on our marriage, made threats about renovations causing divorce and was a source of stress and anxiety. She was late to almost all of our meetings, but was constantly checking the time which was quite uncomfortable. Her assistant, Michelle, was very kind during our meetings. Lastly, we found out that she copied her prior client's dinning room design and put it in our proposal. While it is with reason to take inspiration from other work, copying over an identical table, chair, drapery, window covering, and colors, etc. from one's own previous client and pitching it to the next is very unprofessional, considering we were billed 30 hours to design the dinning room. I don't recommend this company for interior design.

Yami's dream room included a space for her to crochet and do crafts. Yami has been fighting cancer for 1.5 years and has spent a lot of time isolated at home. This new healing and craft space that Bungalow 56 created couldn't be more perfect! In the words of Yami's mom: "This has helped all of us to see this journey with a more positive view. Because we see her happiness when she goes to her room, we know that she will have even more strength to keep going and not give up, even if once in a while the times are rough." Thank you so, so, so much to the Bungalow 56 Interior Design Team!!

The Signature Shop located right off the lobby of the Hotel Del Coronado is where you go to get logo items and items featuring the beautiful red roofed victorian style hotel. For anyone who has fallen in love with The Del, its likely you may want to take a piece home with you. The SIgnature Shop is a great place to do this beacuse they have something for all ages, genders and price points. For example, reusable shopping bags from $4 to hand embroidered pillows ranging to many, many more dollars. Men might like to take home a t-shirt or embroidered golf shirt. You can also get home decor items like Christmas ornaments, coasters and art prints. What I really like about The Signature Shop is that I like souvenirs to take home to remind me of the places I've visited but I want them to be classy and functional and that is exactly what you get at The Signature Shop.

I walked into the store in hope of buying birthday presents for my female staff, as I was browsing every corner I got to the stuff on the back of one of tables, a young female staff approached in an awkward way from the other side with a disturbing load tone "can I help you with something", i was like, what?!!! Perhaps she assumed I intended to steal something from them which is very sad and frankly pathetic. Considering at that point, I hadn't even touched ANYTHING yet! When you have such a store packed with tiny cute items you should expect people browsing around and admiring what you have, instead by harassing them and trying to make them uncomfortable you are just going to go out of business very fast. I ended up walking out of that store in less than two minutes not buying anything.

There are four big pine trees with separate retaining walls around three of them for owners to sit down. With it being so close to the bay, there's often a nice breeze that goes through the park. There's no divide between small dogs and big dogs, so it's best to just keep an eye on your dog, and many owners around here are usually respectful. The street parking immediately adjacent to the park is free, however, it has a limit of 30 minutes, and the parking meter workers are strict on it if they're around. I bring my dog here around lunch time because those who live/ work in the area tend to bring their dogs during their break time and my dog gets his socialization time. They close 8am-11am MWF for maintenance/ cleaning. Currently, both gates are broken so it's not as secure as it should be, and who knows when the city will actually fix it. There're a few agility structures and a water dispenser. The children's park itself looks pretty cool for kids with a lot of structures with slides and swings. There's also another separate area with fixed exercise equipment that looks well- maintained. The water feature in the park is a water feature, not a pool.

I recently organized a team event at AR Workshop on Coronado Island and it was a fantastic experience! Laura and Chris, the owners of the workshop, were so easy to work with and made sure everyone was supported and having a great time. What really impressed me about AR Workshop was the attention to detail and the personalized service we received. Laura and Chris were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, from booking the workshop to selecting the projects and materials. It was a fairly quick booking too, and Laura was super responsive and helpful in coming up with ideas for us to customize the activity for our group. We did a mix of wood and canvas paint projects. The location of the workshop on Coronado Island is also fantastic. It's a beautiful area with plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. Overall, I highly recommend AR Workshop for anyone looking for a fun and creative activity. I'm already planning my next visit! My group all really enjoyed making their projects, and had something to bring home. read more

I was in need of a fun time with coworkers and friends! I happened to come across AR Workshop Coronado and I cant tell you enough how amazing of a time we had!!!! We were able to make cool projects (we chose our own) as well as have some pretty great conversation. I was happy that the staff there helped us on parts that we were stuck on. They are very knowledgeable about woodwork and kept the flow going. One of our guests was pretty late due to a family emergency and Laura and Chris were so accommodating that they stayed open to allow him time to finish his project!!! I couldn't believe that they did that! The wood was of great quality and the paint. We all loved our projects!!! Whether it is a date or a company outing this is definitely the place to do it!!!! I recommend the young ladies that work there to help if you need it. They know so much!!!! read more
