I bought one of the homes that White Dog Home staged! I was moving from Florida to Cumming, Ga. and…read moreonly had a short weekend to look for a house. I didn't find a house that weekend, but my realtor sent me a link to a home and said it had me 'written all over it.' The home was beautiful but what really sold it to me (sight unseen in person!) was that I could really see myself and my family in it. Come to find out, the house was staged by White Dog Home. There was a mix up with one of the rugs that was used in the staging, and when they came back to the house to pick it up after I moved in, I asked off-handedly if they would consider selling it to me. I bought the rug and in the next couple of weeks, spent time looking through the original photos of the house and trying to find similar items that they had used to stage it. Finally, I realized I could probably buy the actual items from where they came from and called White Dog Home. I love the style, and I loved the way White Dog Home staged the house I bought. It wasn't too fancy or stiff - it looked like an HGTV home, a dream home, a place where I'd want to live. I bought a house they staged sight unseen in person, bought a rug that they staged in my home, and I'm planning on working with them to decorate and style it now that I live here. It's a crazy, random, and fun story, but I wanted to tell it because it's a true testament to their work. I should also mention that I have only spoken with Malinda over the phone, but every interaction has been easy and accommodating, which, if you've ever moved, you know is so important when you're finding new people to work with. People who just understand how to treat people/their customers always win me over!

I love eclectic places where surprises wait around every corner and that's just what you get at The…read moreCotton House. One of Alpharetta's older buildings, The Cotton House is located slightly off Main Street on Milton Avenue. The interior rambles from one room to another and around each corner is something new and interesting. This is a combination of antiques-dealer stalls and a consignment shop so the finds range from custom Christmas ornaments to refinished 1950's end tables, from handmade soaps to farmhouse dining tables and everything in between. In my last visit, my cousin found a vintage milk bottle set and a refinished (distressed) side table for a bedroom all for less than $100. This is a place where - when you find a piece you love - you'd better snap it up right away or it'll be gone the next time you circle around to it. This is not a place you pop into/out of - it's a place where you plan to spend a couple of hours browsing. There's just too much to see and if you rush through, you'll miss all the interesting little items. Look up, look behind and look above - there are decor items everywhere! Some are cute, some are kitschy and some are absolutely must-haves. There is parking available on the street in front of the store but it's limited and requires you to back out into traffic. I recommend parking in the (free) gravel lot just behind the store. Another good parking option is the deck at City Hall (only one and a half blocks away) - parking is free there, allowing you time to browse and then have a nice lunch at a downtown restaurant while you contemplate your purchases.

We looked into some dining tables and a couch as well, not many options for the tables but plenty for the couches. Lots of bed and mattress options as well.

It smelled pretty weird too . We didn't purchase anything and don't think we'll be coming back.
