That said, they do good, old school, work. I have not had any problems with shoes I had worked on there.

We picked up his first pairof shoes worked on by Express Shoe Repair, my fingers are crossed they can hold up to him (at least longer than the originals...)

What a pleasant surprise. If you are a youngster the place may look a little old fashion. That is OK with me as long as they do a good job.

He picked the table up and returned it. For those of you who do not know what a drum table is, the center of the table goes around. Mine was badly broken causing the top to be very tilted. I told Mr Burkett, if he could not fix the table to turn and just have the top be connected to the part that turns, I would have him do the job. He came over and looked at it and said he was pretty confident he could fix it. I also have my grandmother's secretary and one of the doors was too warped to close, he fixed that too and now it closes perfectly.

After a short amount of time we were approached by one of the owners in case we needed assistance. I did not need assistance and neither did my wife. Still, we appreciate the offer. I saw one outfit I liked, but my wife doesn't wear skirts or dresses. Something she picked up from her mother. Nevertheless, I liked the dog picture, but will have to imagine someone else wearing in my mind. Guess I will put it on one of my characters, but I digress. There are other items I this store and I only got a glimpse of what is sold here. Still, the staff was friendly and I will pay another visit to this store. I might just find something I could use next time.

Really cute little Korean clothing and accessories boutique!! I'm a fan of Korean style/aesthetic,…read moreand have always wanted to visit one of the little boutiques in Annandale, VA. I ventured in and was wooed to make several lovely purchases by the very attentive shopkeeper! One cool thing is that we discovered we have variants of the same surname! (My husband is half Korean.) It's a relatively uncommon Korean name, so that was pretty neat. I probably wouldn't have bought anything (the items were a bit pricey for my income), but Kum (the nice shopkeeper) gave me discounts after I asked if there were any sale items. I realized that you can definitely barter a bit, especially if it's your first time. They want to make you a repeat customer! I was surprised by the pretty leather handbags. They were a bit too expensive for me, but my eye was caught. They have a variety of colors and styles (more unique than you'll find at TJ Maxx). The clothing was interesting. A lot of the styles were not quite for me (intentionally loose blouses with pretty involved/sparkly patterns), but there were a few that I absolutely loved. I ended up getting two BEAUTIFUL flowy skirts, of very good quality. It's so hard to find delicately made, modest, beautifully worked skirts like these. I bought a blouse that has a lovely pattern (it's a fabric that Kum assured me is sought-after in Korea). I bought the loveliest little tulle scarf (they had a variety of colors...could have bought them all). Kum was constantly checking on me as I was trying things on and brought me tops and bottoms based on what I'd picked out. As a former sales associate for a women's boutique, I can tell you that this strategy WORKS and is actually appreciated by customers who just want a little encouragement (and a little pampering, if I'm being honest!). She even brought me some bold kitten heels...that cracked me up! But I was actually considered some black-and-white striped ones...and I never in a million years would have tried them on without her suggestion. I also bought something I never thought I'd buy...stylish tennis shoes. They're absolutely adorable (see the photo I posted). They were thoughtfully displayed in the fitting room stall (brilliant marketing move, putting attractive handbags and a variety of shoes in there to catch your eye!). They look like they're emulating a designer (I'm not in the know enough to know which one) and are super cute. Kum asked me how I'd found her shop. I had seen a few Korean boutiques while getting amazing authentic Korean comfort food, and did a simple search on Apple Maps for "Korean apparel." There are several other boutiques in the area which I look forward to perusing. She said she would love to attract more visitors who aren't Korean. I told her that I agreed, that I thought lots of ladies would love her store. She asked if I could leave a review and I enthusiastically assented! Visit this store if you want to spend an afternoon imagining what it would be like to shop in Korea! Don't worry...prices are displayed in USD, not Korean won. ;) There's something for everyone here, and I bet you'll be asked where you found your purchase!

The place I bought it from wanted to charge us $500 to create a new cushion to set atop the existing base, which not only felt pretty steep, but they estimated that it would take them a month or two to do the work. Since we already had the longer cushion, we shopped around to see if someone could just convert the longer cushion into a square, rather than creating a whole new cushion: enter Rainbow Upholstery. Not only was the owner incredibly responsive, his prices were more than fair and he was able to complete the work in 1-2 days, not months. I'm so happy with my new ottoman--it looks like it was always meant to look this way, and fits my new home so much better!

The leather was very worn (see attached photos), and we were prepared to spend thousands to replace the whole living room set.  Before purchasing new furniture, we decided to try to repair the couch. We found Fibrenew on the internet and contacted Anthony after reading his reviews. Anthony quoted us a fair price, so we scheduled him to come to our house. We were fully expecting him to tell us that the couch was beyond repair -- it was THAT bad -- but Anthony didn't flinch and went to work on it. Several hours later, our couch looked BRAND NEW, and we get to keep thousands of dollars in our pockets thanks to Anthony. He is coming back to repair the matching chairs of our living room set, and we will be referring him to all of our friends. We couldn't recommend Anthony and Fibrenew any higher! In addition to being a master at his craft, Anthony is a very nice person!
