John & Jeanna reframed two museum quality artifacts for me, in 2025 & 2026…read more I am thrilled with the results. Both outcomes were a huge improvement over the previous framings. John guided me towards unique frames and backing that complemented the artwork while not detracting from the beauty of the pieces. I was amazed at the diversity of offerings and really appreciated having a one on one meeting dedicated to discussing the various choices, which had been thoughtfully reviewed by J & J ahead of time. At no time was I pressured into selecting any particular option, but was shown several ideas of varying cost. Once a decision was made an approximate pick up date was provided. While a little longer than other places I have used the quality of the work is definitely worth the wait. J & J are perfectionists from start to finish, even to the wrapping of the end product to ensure safe passage home. My artwork was handled with careful respect at each stage. Their 3 step process : initial consult; review of suggested materials; and final pick up meeting was as unique as their offerings. This is a very special business operated by two highly skilled artisans. Both were an absolute pleasure to work with,

This was our first time getting custom frames done and we cannot express enough how amazing this…read moreexperience has been with John. His shop has hundreds of frames that you can choose from and can work with various sizes of artwork. We first started with a consultation which included design suggestions from his team, and where we got to mix and match different frames with our paintings. After receiving our new frames, they did a wonderful job wrapping it up and giving us instructions on how to best place it in our home. He also gave us a follow-up call to make sure we were able to put it up. You won't find anyone else who's as passionate and knowledgable in the area and we'll be happy to come back again next time!

She came into my home with dozens of options, hanging canvas's up on my wall where I was able to study them, take a picture and feel the art in the space - then - all of a sudden, I turn around after she has put another two pieces up and WOW that's it. I would have never picked what I picked in any store - but seeing on my wall in MY living room - I knew - it spoke to me, and that was it. The framer came shortly after, framed it perfectly and it's now hanging on my wall. Do you know how many pictures and how much time I would have had to lug in my car and put up each piece only to probably return it and start all over again? Too many hours to count - too many holes in my wall - too many trips to countless stores. Noa is awesome, talented, warm, friendly and honest about what works and what doesn't AND there is no pressure. It's free for her to come and take a test drive of art in your home! Highly recommend!

The paintings she recommended were perfect for each room and what was especially valuable was her suggestions for optimizing the space. We already made a couple of the changes she mentioned and it has really elevated the room! Her style is very personable without feeling like too much of a "sales pitch". Her framer was also punctual and efficient, and available just a couple days after we bought the art. Would definitely recommend Noa's Art to any new home owners looking to create a beautiful space!

Her glass selection is excellent and her instruction is incredibly helpful. I am so glad I didn't listen to the negative reviews of this studio. My 12 year old daughter and I signed up for the beginner stained glass course. It did take us longer than the 6 weeks to finish our pieces but I wasn't mad because the website warned me it might take longer and the owner also warned me when we picked the pieces we did. The finished products were well worth the time. My daughter and I had so much fun and learned a lot. My daughter has now finished two pieces. I finished a window panel and am now starting my second piece. I will definitely continue coming back here to learn this beautiful craft. This is the place you want to go if you want to learn how to work with glass.

Imagine my surprise when I walked in and saw the perfect one right away! Not only was it exactly what I had been looking for, but it was huge--and only $28. I couldn't believe it, especially since I've seen similar ones listed for around $75 on Facebook Marketplace. On top of that, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They took the time to chat with me and made the whole experience feel personal, and they carefully wrapped my purchase so it made it home safely. Highly recommend stopping by if you love unique finds at reasonable prices!

Open to the public 3 1/2 days a month, got a chance to visit for the month of November (Nov 6 - 9). The service was awesome, if one of the store associates see you holding an item, they will ask if you want them to put it in a basket for you. When u check out, just mention your basket name and they will ring it up for you. Love it this way so you aren't carrying a bunch of things around since the hallways are really narrow. The warehouse itself has a hallway with a bunch of rooms and stairs to a second floor. Each room has a lot of decor that you can buy, even the ones hanging on the walls. It was really packed even on Friday morning when I went, but it was manageable. I spent an hour and a half here. They mentioned having an outdoor market on Saturday and Sundays but I went on a Friday so I didn't get a chance to see it. However, they might only do that for this month because of the rainier weather next month. Prices were decent. Definitely worth checking this place out. I left with some cute decor for my new place (:

We went in December so it was holiday themed. There is a disabled parking spot in the lot but generally no parking in the lot, only street parking for everyone else. I really liked everything but enjoyed the outdoor market the most. The prices in the outdoor market were more affordable. I found the most gorgeous sterling silver ring for $25 that would have been a lot more other places. I also found holiday decor and a picture frame. I bought a trinket box for my aunt that was darling. They also sell some sweet treats inside. They have clothing upstairs. We were there for 1.5 hours and that was plenty of time. My aunt found the cutest vintage rose colored antique table with a drawer. We took it home with us and it was only $38! I would like to come here again sometime in the spring to check out what's new. Certainly worth the trip!

I love wandering into art galleries where the work is well lighted and well displayed. This gallery certainly fulfilled that difference. There was a nice diversity of work, it was well displayed and the people working here were charming. Although I like to look, I seldom want to buy anything. I was really temped by two pieces in this gallery. A pretty watercolor and a wonderful piece of potter for an Ikebana arrangement really appealed to me. They were really not too expensive for one of a kind pieces of art. Common sense prevailed, I have no room for anything new, and I left. I do have about 5 weeks before they put of the next show in case I change my mind. The other difference, at art or craft show you can talk to the artist. I like to support artist so I go to both galleries and shows and every now and then I see something I just have to bring home.
