Thankfully…read moreRaleigh Furniture Gallery was recommended because we ended up buying about half the house of furniture in our first visit! Really though, we bought at least a dozen incredible pieces plus accessories and they delivered the furniture the next day. We found truly unique, high quality pieces ranging from a full dining set, bedroom set, bookcase, and more PLUS beautiful hardcover antique books and artwork. We were able to accomplish so much within a short amount of time that could have taken us months and months. I was thrilled to have furnished our house with items from our past while incorporating decor and pieces true to this area as well. Since the first visit, we have been back several times and always find way more than expected. It is hard not to buy everything. Reasonable prices and quality items - lots of variety. Customer service is wonderful and the owner Kevin always interacts with his customers no matter if you're an old friend or your first time in.

Great shop in Wake Forest!…read more Many different vendors under one roof who have displays of their items. Each area is more like a little shop unmanned. There is a selection of items for everyone. Also they had a couple people there in person doing the business ( one did jewelry and I forgot what the other one was). The staff at the register were friendly as well. Cool little place to check out if you are in Wake Forest.

Shonell's carries party plates, napkins, tissues, frames, dog- and cat-themed soap dishes, napkins, greeting cards, & humorous titled shopping list notepads. The owner also mentioned she was starting to carry shoes as well -- summer shoes -- cute and comfortable. In the back corner of the store were the jewelry and lotions and handcrafted soaps from Moondance, a Raleigh company. The minute I walked in the door, the owner came up to greet me, carrying the most adorable little dog, both welcoming me to the store. I was also told there were birthday cupcakes for the dog's birthday. How could you not like a store like that? For the short period I was in the store, the owner answered my questions, directed me to certain items, offered to make a deal on some candles and jewelry, and then very nicely wrapped the items I had designated as gifts. As I turned to leave, she reminded me of the birthday cupcakes as her dog slept in the cute little bed near the cash register. If you're looking for a unique gift for a reasonable price, and like being waited on by friendly, helpful people, this is the place.

What a great local gem!…read more We love supporting local businesses and this place has numerous local vendors - very similar to Cotton Company in downtown WF. A mix of antiques, signs, crafts, a lot of candles and a small bit of clothing. We bought a vintage magazine - fascinating to read about life in 1940. The lady who was working there was extremely helpful and friendly. There are a few buildings to go in - you'll find chalk painted furniture as well as paints, more antiques, local bbq sauces/T-shirt's, and more. Definitely a spot to grab a unique gift for someone! Prices were very reasonable, too! Conveniently located off Durant, right near the railroad tracks - a little hard to see as it's way back off the Durant but look for the big banner posted out front.

The entrance is on the street level but stairs are required to visit the eclectic shop. They do have a webpage you can order from if stairs are an issue for you. I first found Homebody's during a Ladies Night on White as I wouldn't have stumbled onto it on my own as the entrance was in the back. But the unique items in the store were enough to bring me back. Besides the shop, in which you will find candles; stationery; clothing; baby items; items for the home; self care; and much more, they also offer workshops so you can learn some new skills. If you are in Downtown Wake Forest and looking for the perfect gift for someone make sure to stop in Homebody's.

I worked with Lavish for over a year on a major remodel and would never recommend them. Jenny is nice and I love her design aesthetic but I found them disorganized, unreliable, and dishonest. They sell a good story and can't deliver. I had several items delivered that looked markedly different than the ones we had approved (so many excuses) and months of ignored emails/phone calls/texts. My kitchen and laundry room are GORGEOUS but it was not worth the headache, I am very sorry to say.

The kids were thoroughly entertained and the morning went by very quickly. They took a break for some snacks, giving their painting time to dry for the next addition of glitter, feathers and strips of felt.

Would take her back here for one of their monthly workshops in the future.
