Short and sweet review for our short and sweet visit to this furniture and decor shop. The shop…read moreboasts all your decor essentials- think lamps, rugs, mirrors, couches and artwork along with great gifting items- ranging from soap and jam to cooking mixes and lotion. The space is well organized and offers some really unique and well designed furniture. If we didn't live so far away, I would have been serious about a pair of chairs and stone coffee table they were showcasing.

I have nothing but praise for Seldom Scene Interiors. The team of designers at this firm are…read moreincredibly professional and detail-oriented. At the beginning of my home-decor project, I gave them a loose framework of ideas on how I saw my living space working for me. They took my vague ideas and turned each room into a breath of fresh air and incredible style (that still reflects my personality). The whole team is very easy to work with, and given the life they have brought to my home, I won't be working with anyone besides Seldom Scene!

Seldom Scene is one of the premier Interior Design firms in the world. Wendy, the founder of the…read morefirm, is brilliant and has an eye for top tier, mind-blowing design. She never settles for anything less than perfection, and constantly delivers on time. On top of that, her staff are particularly attentive, hard-working, and responsive. They completely customize their design to your preferences, and exceed expectations repeatedly. I cannot say enough about how great, professional, and amazing Seldom Scene is to work with.

Slate is definitely one of those stores. I stopped in on Christmas Eve just to browse around and I wish I could have bought everything in the place! It is a pretty hipster little store, and everything inside would be both useful to have in your home and serve as a conversation starter with guests. The items are unique, interesting, and high quality. There are kitchen gadgets, bar cart fixings, home decor items, greeting cards, jewelry...the list goes on. It's a great store and fits well with the Church Street aesthetic.

Sam Clark is an amazing designer and builder - which is a critical skill set that few have. Sam…read moreenvisioned and then built our entire kitchen. He has an impeccable ability to understand your needs, understand the project constraints, and then provide options. Then he can actually build out the project and get all the best tradespeople there. If your serious about doing a life long project well, call Sam.

Sam is smart, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, is never trying to "sell" you, and is really interested in helping you get the best plan and the best prices. He wants your place to work well, and to be a source of enjoyment and satisfaction to the eyes, as well. His rates were well under those of other people with much less skill & experience, and in fact we have since called on him for consults about new projects and future work. There are so many good things to say about working with Sam. He really listens to what your budget is, and suggests lots of options about doing things within your budget. We really like his taste and style - he emphasizes beautiful materials, and lets the natural materials shine through. To me, his taste is for solid, simple, elegant, non-fussy, non-faddish designs, where the lines and the materials are what pleases. He listens to what your needs are, looks at your space, discusses various options, and will give you iterations of plans - the opposite of a cookie-cutter approach. He is a flexible thinker, and likes to know how YOU are going to use your space. He will tell you when he disagrees with choices you're considering, make a straightforward case for why he thinks it would not enhance your space, but he lets you choose in the end. He was interested and knowledgeable about making environmentally healthy choices, and using local suppliers, but is flexible and not dogmatic. He always explains his ideas. He knows people, places, materials, shops, suppliers, contacts in all the related fields of house building and renovations. We asked for and got suggestions from him for stone counters (VT Stone Arts), radiators (Myson), local clapboards (Ward Mill in ME), electrical code information about a vent that someone else was installing, insulation, lead paint removers, flooring, etc, etc, etc. He's an incredible resource and consultant. There's a really good character vibe about Sam. He was gracious to all of our other subcontractors. He has great relations with his past customers - he put us in contact with a previous customer so we could go and see their kitchen, and later sent a prospective customer to look at ours. He is extremely responsive by phone and email. He sends plans by mail, as well. Sam has great personal integrity - he is a straight-shooter, genuine; the money aspects are always clear, and he does what he says he'll do when he promised it. He gives honest answers to your questions - doesn't try to talk you into things, and doesn't have a show-off-y attitude. It was a pleasure for us from start to finish working with Sam Clark. We recommend him wholeheartedly.
