There was some tables of plates and frames, samples of their store content to tantalize you to come in for a visit. There are a lot of great plates, bowls, mugs and serving platters, some pesto, olive and veggie spreads for bread, pickled veggies. There are some cookbooks, lovely scented candles and many gift and home decor gifts for friends and family. They were running a 14% discount for their 14 year anniversary today. Prices are pretty reasonable.

Stem & Stone is my most recent fabulous find! It is the plant shop that I never knew that I needed,…read moreand so very on trend with the current buzz surrounding succulents, crystals, and crafts. Stem & Stone is tucked into a small storefront in downtown Birmingham. Upon entering, you will find yourself overwhelmed by shelves of potted succulents and containers. I found the staff very friendly and helpful, guiding me through the process of creating my own home garden. You are encouraged to first select your vessel, then succulents. I, however, was immediately drawn to two lovely plants, so I started with those and worked backward. The succulent varieties vary from dainty to tall and leafy to spiny. Choose a mix to enhance the visual impact with texture. The containers are similarly diverse, ranging from glass terrariums to lovely ceramics and pots hanging on macrame. Once you have made your selections, now you dazzle it up with colored sand or pebbles. Now, for the "DIY light" twist - The shop keeper plants the succulents for you! No dirty hands for you, Visionary. Once your potted creation is in hand, you can tap your inner zen and add some crystals or even a cute Buddha figurine! Items are priced individually, and my creation (reference uploaded image) cost about $40. I had a great time, and plan to return in the future to create living gifts with a personal touch!

I am glad we upgraded to the pullout drawers. The pantry is about 90" tall x 30" wide and 25" deep. The pullout drawers and large shelves on the top of the pantry are nice and deep for storage of items that aren't used as often. The pullout drawers are nice for storage of pots and pans. The cabinets were a little over a $1k.

A little honesty here: I have a black thumb (uhhum, I kill plants, and know nothing about them) but…read moreI'm trying to learn quickly and I went in with the attitude of "I know nothing and need to find someone to help me." Also knowing that I was going to spend a few hundred dollars on shrubs, plants and other items I was expecting to talk to somebody knowledgeable. After asking a couple people I was guided to a woman named Annette. She works outside in the perennials, shrubs and tree section and boy was she great to work with. I asked her a lot of (dumb) questions and showed her a picture of what I'm working with and she was able to recommend various ideas. There was another woman who was very helpful, dark hair and younger but her name slips my mind... Maybe Renee? Yeah, she was awesome too! As noted before in other reviews, they are expensive but the quality of the plants as well as the warranty are great. I have a first responder in the family so I was able to get the garden club for free which extends the warranty even further. ($20/yr) Because they opened in early May when I went on the 10th, they were out a lot. Annette said call back to check on stock, which I plan to do. Will be back! (I'll post some pictures in a couple days when it's sunny out again of a before and after.)

Underwhelming. The…read morevenue reminded me of Vegas in a formulaic way. Our server was inattentive, and super rushed whenever she did make it to our table- which at this price point, is unacceptable. The apps we ordered, the grilled artichokes and shrimp cocktail were excellent. Re: the entrees, almost everything is à la carte, even so, my sea bass was delivered without the potatoes it was supposed to come with. IMHO, WAY overpriced for the food and experience. If I return it'll likely be just for a drink and appetizers, a burger (which looked amazing!) or dessert and coffee. *Note: they don't serve decaf.

Throughout every phase, Susie was fabulous! She brought great creativity and energy to the project and made earnest effort to understand my wants, as well as to closely connect with my daughter.

I will be designing another room with you very soon and look forward to it!

Incredible experience at Nadeau Furniture. The prices are outstanding, easily one-third of what…read moreyou'd find at Pottery Barn or Restoration Hardware, with the same quality (if not better). Everything is handmade by artisans, solid wood, and full of character, not mass-produced furniture pretending to be special. The new owner spent nearly two hours helping me sort through options, explaining woods, finishes, and layout decisions. He has a degree in interior design, and it absolutely shows. That experience is why I ended up buying everything for my condo from him except the sofa and bed. They don't carry sofas and offer headboards only, but for dining, storage, tables, and statement pieces, this place is unmatched. Locally owned, sustainably made, and genuinely special.

He was defensive and dismissive to my question, and then became pretentious: Speaking about how interior designers would recognize the character in these pieces and how their customers get the pieces stained to their tastes. He also reeked of cigarette smoke. Not at all what I'd expect from a store on the outskirts of Birmingham. They had actually had a lot of really cool stuff in there, but I would never give my money to a place that employs such a jerk! Good luck!
