When I inquired more specifically, I learned that those were not "the Dubai chocolates." I appreciate the sales associate's honesty. They have a plethora of wall hangings. It is quite impressive the sayings they have on some of their wall hangings. If you are looking for some unique hearts for Valentine's day, Sugarboo is your go to place. The staff is southern hospitality friendly. They welcome any questions and if you are looking for something specifically, they will let you know exactly where it is in the store. This store is very affordable. Importantly, it has unique items that you will not find in every store you frequent.

Sugarboo & Co is the cutest store in Austin, Texas! They sell clever and fun items to enhance your…read morehome's vibe. From pillows to placemats to notepads to candles to sweaters and shirts and comforters and pet items. Oh my! This store has so many fun products that are great gift giving ideas at reasonable prices. I visited from California on a work trip and super bummed I didn't bring a bigger suitcase because I would've bought so many gifts to give. I believe this store is female owned, and have store locations throughout the south. Their staff is sweet and accommodating, and every gift comes with a beautiful gift wrapping that's complementary. They have plenty of parking as they are part of a mall and there is tons of parking stalls. Can't wait to come back and visit this store on my next work trip. It will definitely be on my list of things to do when I visit Austin, Texas and in the mood for shopping.

When you walk into Argaus, you will be treated very well. They have sales people on the floor, but…read morethey do not try to oversell. They have designers and interior decorators who will listen to your likes and dislikes, ask the right questions, and make sure their furniture fits your space. Their furniture and hardware is very nice quality. While they tend to be on the cost side of furniture warehouse stores, they ensure quality products. We had a cushion that seemed to wear down much quicker than the other cushions. I called to order a replacement, and they asked me to send photos. I did, and there was a request for more photos with specific requests (hold a ruler up to the cushion, for example) which became tedious over time, but they agreed to replace it at no charge (3 years after we bought the couch.)

RH Austin | The Gallery at Domain Northside

When coming back from lunch we noticed RH Austin | The Gallery at the Domain Northside aka known as…read moreRestoration Hardware (RH). I am very familiar with this brand as it is very popular in Seattle, WA. I was very surprised to see a RH in Austin. We could not resist popping in for a short while. I am still in need of some bathroom items. Immediately, we noticed large chandeliers and furniture. I do not think these items were meant for a residential dwelling. It was nonetheless fascinating to peruse the store. Specifically, I was hoping to find bathroom accessories like cotton ball, Q-tip and toothbrush holders. Unfortunately, they did not have these items in store. We were greeted warmly and pointed to the part of the RH store we were most interested in seeing. Most of their bedding, sofas and drapes were in muted whites, beiges or off white. Off hand, I thought it would be the type of furniture and bedding Kim Kardashian would likely purchase. RH is not for the faint at heart with regard to price. Their pricing was a bit to rich for my blood. I do not remember RH being quite that expensive. They do have nice things.

1 star for a beautiful building and layout of furniture thats it. The rest.. don't waste your time…read moreor definitely NOT your money here. The vibes from most of the staff here... terrible. 0 stars for the snobbery and "we don't have time for you" attitude. The only person who seemed to want to earn my business in an honest and helpful way was the kind young gentleman greeter in the front. Like many other reviewers it just seems like the peeps here don't want to work or even look up and say Hi how are you. Basic retail sales 101. In college I worked part time at a high end furniture store. Customer service was #1 and constantly checked on. I was super excited to visit this flagship location and get some guidance in furnishing for some key statement pieces from here. That fell short real fast. We got "assigned" a gal who seemed very uninterested in helping us. She kept asking in a weird way if we were ready to buy and I was like I don't even know what you have nor sizes, costs. The vibes were very off putting like she had better places to go yet NO ONE else was in the store. The pieces we were looking at she gave no more info on what it is. What aesthetic we were going for. The salesmanship and sincerity was totally lacking. My hubs and I were pretty bummed about the experience here. We came home, visited our local store and immediately 3 people came up to greet us, ask if we had any q's. 1 salesperson drew up our space, told us options on how different table shapes would fit depending on 8-10 people sitting. Asked about the colors of our floors, chairs we were thinking of, rugs.. etc. We got more kindness and helpfulness out of the 15min at our local RH store than this place. We definitely WON'T be back here to waste our time or our hard earned money. Management needs to run a basic customer service session at this location.

This IKEA is small maybe 500 square feet, which is an order and pickup location. You can buy a small selection of items here as well. There main IKEA store in Round Rock, TX is huge at 252K square feet with a plethora of furniture, household goods and other items to choose form. Prices are the same at both IKEA in Round Rock, TX and the online catalog at the Domain. The IKEA representative kindly explored the options for hangers, which is what I was looking for...specifically black plastic hangers like they have in department stores They only had wood hangers and black hangers for children. So, I was not successful in ordering these items. It is great to know that I can order from the Domain location and it can me delivered to me at the Domain location. It will save a lot of gas in the process.

They always are so welcoming and help me find exactly the scent profile I'm looking for, order anything that's not in stock for me, and you always get samples with your purchase!

When you walk in, you're met with an array of fragrances that tantalize the nose. Since March, I have been working with Ethan, who has become one of my favorite people I've met. He's well versed in his products, listens to what I'm looking for, and encourages me to branch out. He also remembers the tiniest details of things I've told him, which help him to create a fragrance profile that evokes great memories. If you haven't been to Diptyque yet, I suggest stopping in, even for the experience. You won't be let down.

The chef who taught the class was patient, kind and did a great job teaching the class, making sure all supplies were ready prior to the start of the class, and she made sure everyone was having a good time and learning something. I love cooking and I love learning something new, especially when we can still have a wonderful date night after 30 years together.
