This visit was a surprise, to see such an upscale, well designed home decor store in such a small…read moretown and in the older more rustic area. We had been shopping in the hardware store across the street and on the way to a light lunch took a look here first. We saw beautiful accent pieces and small items but clearly they do a lot of design with custom fabrics too. Apparently they must have been working on such a project in back because we did hear some voices in quiet discussion, but there did not seem to be a way to summon someone from the counter. I did find something I wanted to buy but had some questions. We eventually went towards the back and asked if someone could come out front to help. A staff member or perhaps owner did come out and gracious offer to help. The item I wanted was packaged in such a way that it was impossible to see how to hang it or otherwise display it without opening it completely and taking off the tags. The staff said she had never seem them out of the package herself so she did it. There were several styles and I was only interested in the bees. It would have been nice if they had on choice open on display to make it easy for the casual browser. I did get the item, which was hand made in Denmark of felted wool though actually priced very well. Everything was handles so nicely and I wish I could have chosen more items from here when I was still decorating my home, but the item I got is a nice memento of the trip and the town. I only worry that they might need a higher presence in the front room for security reason and to encourage people to linger and buy. Maybe they do on the busy weekends and normally have few customers on a Monday morning.

The person at the front didn't bother to look up when we entered or even acknowledge or ask if we…read moreneeded help. However was very friendly to the next two people entering? Not sure what that was about but i definitely felt unwelcome and uncomfortable.

It's not huge but it's got pretty much all you'll need for most minor repairs and around the house needs. In addition to all that, they have a cute section in the front with some home decor and gifty things, including a pretty solid Rifle Paper Co. selection which excited me! Overall a very cute, handy, and convenient hardware store that's perfect for townies. FYI--They don't have their own dedicated lot but it's easily accessible from either the front on the main drag as well as in the back where there is plenty of public parking.

I found JPC on Google in February and they came out to work in May after they finished a big job in Owosso. This is my first time working with a contractor on plastering so I was flying blind, but was immediately at ease with Jim Conklin the Founder and Owner. Jim knows the history and science of plastering and he is a gifted artisan. He and his colleague Ethan repaired cracks in two rooms, and in one of the rooms removed plaster to the lathe board and redid it, and in that same room took out a 8' x 8' section of plaster and lathe and completely redid it. JPC outdid themselves by rescuing a large 5' medallion which had pulled away from the plaster, by coming at it by removing the floorboards above it, and using adhesive conditioner, Teflon netting and plaster. This drew the medallion upward and solidified it. Impressive. They finished all of this work in five days. They are due back out later this year to continue the work in three other rooms. Even before JPC did their work I was spreading the good word about them, and certainly will continue to do so.
