Also we have an antique wood chair that has spindle legs and cross pieces. One of the cross pieces which was a brace had split badly. They had matching wood and made a spindle replacement for it. We had had it for 25 years after my great aunt passed away. And it was 100 years back then. Rockler woodworking and hardware is the place to go!!

This would've taken my husband and I days upon days (and probably argument after argument) trying to piece it all together coherently. Her patience and expertise were marriage saving.

I loved using Daltile in a past kitchen project, so I was open to choosing Daltile again for my…read moreprimary bathroom remodel. I was extremely fortunate to be connected with Kinsey Laugermann when I called the Daltile Richmond location, looking for design advice. Not only does Kinsey have wonderful taste, but she is warm, personable, and fun to work with. From the first phone call, I knew I was in good hands. At our showroom appointment, Kinsey listened, was supportive, and she had great ideas. She knows Daltile's products well, and she suggested some different tiles that were so much better than what I had first considered. Since then, she has been responsive to multiple emails, questions, and requests for samples. Every suggestion and piece of advice has held so much wisdom. Questions I would have grappled with for ages, she has offered sound reasoning and reassurance. Thanks to Kinsey, I have confidence in the tile selection, and I am excited to start the project. It was so worth the drive from Katy! Thank you, Kinsey and Daltile, for a stellar experience choosing tile for my primary bathroom remodel!

I was greeted at the front by a friendly lady who guided me to what I was looking for. She went above and beyond with explaining the different types of pesticides and her personal experiences and recommended methods of application (scatter the boric acid around instead of a straight line for roaches, which I didn't know!). It was a lot of fun browsing the store because there was so much to take in. The layout is like an antique store but for hardware, from plumbing to doorknobs to cleaning supplies, they had just about everything. I had an extremely great experience at Southland and will be back! And do not fret about parking, there is a large - by Montrose standards - parking lot in the back.

It's where Robert Durst bought his tools to dismember that body. I digress. Anyway, local hardware stores are the heart of any city. On my way after a Yelp pick Up at Cosmic Juice across the street, I saw Southland Hardware and we decided to drop by. It was like going to the candy store for my husband. He was enthralled with all of the knick knacks that he was in one aisle for a long time while I chased around my three year old who was equally entertained by all of the parts such a store can have. They sold everything from small appliances to gardening items and anything you might need to help your home. I didn't know what anything was except for the snacks and they had a good and unique variety of those. Everyone was helpful and super chill. I appreciate the chill these days a lot more than I used to. What a great neighborhood find and yes things might seem a little bit more than say Amazon or another big box store but putting money into a community store helps save your community in the long run. You help the people who live there and put back into the place you live.
