Ten years ago, I hired Wendy from Dream House to re-decorate my townhouse in Rockville. I paid…read moreover $160,000 to Dream House for design advice, furniture, and accessories. At that time, I was very pleased with their work - so much so, I referred 3 family members and another friend - all of which also paid thousands of dollars to Dream House for various purchases. Two years ago, I reached out to Wendy again - this time for help when I purchased a second home in Florida. I spent $6,500K with Dream House on curtain rods, finials, rings, etc. and it ended up being an absolute fiasco. When the installer (whom I hired privately in Florida) arrived, he said the drapes could not be hung with these curtain rods because the drapes were too heavy. When I reached out to Wendy and Cassie, I learned they were both on vacation together in Spain. Wendy's response from Spain: "...how were we to know they were super heavy? We ordered rods for regular draperies." This response is from a woman who has 44 years of design experience? -- i.e. Wouldn't you inquire about the drapery fabric before ordering the rods and/or let a client know the limitations of the rods when selecting drape fabric? The drape installer left after I received this text from Wendy in Spain, "...I understand how you feel, but I worked very, very hard on this for you...spent hours on this. I've used all these rods before..I have never had an issue. At this point I'm on vacation and would rather not have to take care of this right now." Though Wendy admitted later that she should have never taken on my design project (true!), they only refunded me $1,100 for curtain rod hardware that I returned to them - indicating to me that the curtain rod company would not allow anything else to be returned since is it was custom ordered, and I also had to pay a 20% restocking fee. Disgusted, I asked Cassie to mail the $1,100 check to my Maryland address; instead she mailed it to my Florida home. When I requested that Cassie re-send the check to me at my Maryland home as requested, she told me she could only do this if I paid a $40 check stop payment fee. The moral of my story: Buyer beware! If you run into any issues, be assured from my experience that neither Wendy nor Cassie will take ANY ownership of the problem. Beyond a frustrating and disappointing experience from a once very loyal customer. My only solace is that I have repeated my horrible experience to many friends and family who will also never shop at Dream House again.

Dream House is one of a hundred quaint stores in Downtown Frederick. So what makes Dream House…read moredifferent. Well, I'll tell you, the store looks brand new. Mostly it is filled with oversized furniture which is a modern but comfortable take on higher end pieces. Me and my friend went to the back and sat on these amazing chairs that were electronically reclining. Cause I don't want to have to push with my back on the hair to make it recline. What am? An animal?! The woman who was very pleasant told us that the chairs could come in one of like 50 different fabrics and leathers. I sat on another couch before I left which was very comfortable. If I had a larger house, I would definitely stop by this store. I do like a lot of the patterns on the furniture. The customer service was great! I like the customizability! I do remember the prices were a little on the higher side, but probably level with other stores like it in the area. Also... I'm gonna be honest, I don't have the best gauge on furniture prices. I don't go furniture shopping that often, and when I do it's for vintage furniture. I wouldn't hesitate to stop back into the store to see the new things they have in stock.

Chris Zoltan is a tremendous talent. His vision and insight are worth every cent of the design…read morecharge. I was nervous throughout the project. But in the end I realized that Chris had it right from the beginning. My living room and dining room space look distinctive and high style. His firm designed and manufactured customized leather love seats for my undersized living room. The love seats are gorgeous and so high quality. They were expensive but worth every single penny. There were some glitches in the project. I felt that the firm could be more transparent about the cost of ordering items through them versus ordering them yourself. It will save time and grief to order through them but it will cost you more money upfront. This cost is totally worth the convenience and, in retrospect, I would have paid it. But for cost conscious clients the firm should be upfront about that additional cost. Overall, I LOVE the design Zoltan executed for my project. I would use the firm again in a heartbeat. If you are looking for design on the cheap, Zoltan is def not for you. For distinctive, high quality design, Zoltan is an amazing partner for your project.

What a cool secret space & WONDERFUL FIND! They put on a lot of different specials (including great…read moresales). I've been to many spaces around the DC area & these ladies running this shop did a fantastic display & easy to find staging of all their products. I highly recommend anyone that's looking for something unique, older & classic to come here first. It's by appointment only (so be sure to contact them before arriving). The price is right for a lot of the products they have, but you can also speak with the people who refurbished the products to negotiate prices if you'd like to as well. But what they provide is a true art, so the price is right for the quality & value. Kind of tricky to find as it's off road, BUT it's picturesque once you get there & pull up. Best day-trip find from DC ever!!!

um,,, AMAZING!!! for all those reviews stating items are overpriced,,, most all of the furniture…read moreitems are, #1 imported from overseas, & #2 refurbished and restored on site! Many of the items here are fantastically historic, and for that they are worth a pretty penny is some cases. But from what I see it is ALL reasonable priced considering the work that goes into getting these pieces to you, & restoring them to a functional condition. & mind you, this is a family owned business! I'll pay some extra cash to support an establishment such as this before any big run of the mill store. We need more places like this! I found an authentic Dutch bassinet, likely 100 yrs old, in fantastic condition for only $60! I plan to use it for my newborn! This store & warehouse is RAW! and a great experience, seriously like a museum except everything is for sale! how cool! Owners/staff are very very nice. I will 100% be coming back here & bringing my family! Please consider visiting this establishment before purchasing from other big name stores!
