Everything here, from the vintage clothing to the antique/restored furnishings and select pieces of art were classy, elegant, quality pieces. We were warmly welcomed be the attendant, and spent most of our limited minutes discussing our mutual love of dogs with her, while meandering through the shop and fawning over various items in hushed whispers to each other. Antique hunters and interior decorators take note: you won't have to sift through cluttered shelves, boxes and cabinets full of yesteryear's kitsch to find the good stuff here. It's all right there in the open, and you won't need to dip into your savings to dress or decorate in style. Abigail's is very recommended!

It is two rooms with mainly furniture and some decorative items. The furniture is cute vintage, with a French vibe, some painted in the Annie Sloan chalk paint, and others left with regular wood. Pieces include bureaus to vanities to tables to china cabinets and prices reflect the amount of time spent on each item. If this is your style of furniture or you love Annie Sloan paint, be sure to stop in.

I've been here twice in the (almost) 2 months that we've lived in this area, as we needed a few…read morefurniture pieces for our home since they didn't make it in the move. There is a severe lack of quality furniture stores in this area (which is just weird), so we ended up stopping in here to check it out. Upon first glance, I loved the store. It's huge, and they have some really beautiful pieces. (which is why I gave two stars instead of one) On our first trip there, we were shopping for a dining set, and ended up liking one of the ones they had on the floor, but we were a little turned off by their price. ($1400!) So we decided to keep it in mind, and keep shopping around. We found the exact same table set at another (less unique, less quality) furniture store in Bremerton with a price tag of $900. The exact same one---$500 cheaper! Yikes. Talk about marking up your inventory. Also during this visit, we were unfortunate enough to be exposed to the owner's (or whoever she was) berating her own son (I assume it was her son) because he came in to ask for gas money. She loudly lectured him in front of us, and WE were made to feel awkward and embarrassed--I can't imagine how he must have felt. It turned me off to shopping there that day, as I didn't want to do business with such a manipulative and downright mean lady. I couldn't believe the "show" we got to see that day. Completely rude (to that boy and to us) and unprofessional. My next trip here was in search of a headboard for our king size bed. I wanted something unique, and knew that there weren't very many places to go in this area, so I stopped by again (and hoped to have a better experience). I did. The gentleman who waited on me was very very nice, made great conversation, and was very helpful. However, the prices are just too high. I don't know what people do in this area for a living, but I come from CT (where everything is overpriced) and was still shocked at the pricing. $200-600 for an old door, $400 for this or that, $1500 for a small table. I mean, really. Who can afford things like that? I think if this store was a little more realistic in their pricing (and also took their family drama to the back room), they'd have a shot at luring us back in as future customers. Until then, nah.

Watch out for this place! Despite their perpetual "store closing" sales, the merchandise is very…read moreoverpriced for the quality and customer base. And make sure you have firmly made up your mind.....ALL sales are final, even uncompleted sales like layaways, and the only refund you are likely to see is a store credit for yet more overpriced goods. It is associated with another similar but smaller operation under the same ownership (also not receiving good reviews) and the ownership and sales staff of both are pretty heavy-handed. Not a comfortable place to shop and not one that I'd recommend - Macy's has a relatively similar selection of furniture and at far better prices

Loyde was at the counter and kindly let us shop as he said other shoppers were still inside. I was looking for a bag and earrings. Loyed was so helpful. He knows his stock better than anyone I had come across in a very long time. He was not pushy and showed me all the features of items I was interested in as well as suggesting a few items that were similar. In the end I bought a great crossbody bag and two jewelry bags! My friend bought a few things and was also very happy with our shopping time. If you are the owner and reading this, Loyde deserves a raise! He is wonderful! We will be back and telling our friends to stop in! PS the cute Halloween decorations in the window drew us in to begin with!

I've always thought I had relatively good design sense. But after a year-and-a-half of lock-down and working from home, I felt the place was looking a little blah.  But I'd been procrastinating.  On a whim one Saturday, I walked into Seldens and met Christine. I explained what I'd been thinking, and she got it immediately. She asked a lot of questions and took the time to get to know what I like and don't like. I appreciated that she listened and worked with me to propose a range of solutions that seemed to work for me and helped me prioritize what would give me the most "bang for the buck".   She didn't propose a radical makeover but rather a smart choice of options that had the impact. And she was able share examples from other projects she'd completed so I could see how some of the ideas she was suggesting would look in my place. I went from hesitant to excited, and I can hardly wait for everything to get the first phase of my spruce-up project implemented.  I started out thinking I didn't really need a designer per se. But thanks to Christine Wang's help and the resources at Seldens, I wouldn't start a project without consulting with her first. Annie G

The great... the craftsmanship... The table came out great. Looks beautiful. The kicker was he told me he's been doing this for 50 years and he's 73 and this is his living... My response was if you're at this 50 years you should be able to have a more accurate estimate. The word approximately means close to but not exact... Does NOT mean double and hose the customer.
