During this event there are participating shops and you are given a card to have stamped at each vendor and then you are entered in a drawing for gift baskets and cards once you have visited 10 shops. This shop has very nice decor items and furniture. They also had some clothing. I did not buy anything from this shop this time but I will still make a future visit to see what new items they come up with.

There is public and street parking close to Blackbird Nest and the other shops I wanted to visit. As I entered Blackbird Nest I received a pleasant greeting. The Blackbird Nest specializes in redesigned modern, antique and vintage furniture along with home decor, lamps, new clothing, bath and body products, prints, florals and wreaths plus holiday decor. The shop has several smaller rooms with various items incorporated throughout but items are organized well and prices are clearly marked. I liked seeing furniture, clothing, home and holiday decor all tastefully arranged together in each space. The store has a few narrow isleway's but most are spacious enough to browse comfortably down. They do have a dressing room to try on clothing you are interested in. If you're in Franklin make time to visit Blackbird Nest. Terrific location for gifts, clothing and unique furniture.

The clerk was busy with customers when I entered. A couple rooms were filled with antiques and locally made goods.

The building is filled with antique furniture, hardware, doors, kitchen ware and assorted knickknacks. I even saw a kitchen sink. Several vintage cameras caught my eye. The volunteer staff is super friendly, cheerful and welcoming. We were told their story and encouraged to look around. Prices ranged from really reasonable to high. Clearance tables were in the back. Inventory changes regularly. The building is upscale from the outside and a little hard to find as it is located at the end of one way street. There is street parking around the building. Worth a visit if you're remodeling and looking unique decor.

I actually browsed the store twice because there was so much to see I kept missing items. The refurbished furniture was lovely work and well chosen paint colors. If I had space at home, I found two pieces of furniture I would have purchased. I still think about those and keep trying to find a way to use. The store is fun with so many types of merchandise that you just need to visit the shop. Old, new, refurbished, Primitives, unique items for a large homes or businesses all under one roof. Stop in!

Sure, there have been a number of antique/home decor/boutiques come and go, but this one just opened and looks to be attracting a steady clientele. Nestled on the north side of Jefferson about a block west of the courthouse, this shotgun style business is long and narrow but still had enough room to get around. Inside, there is a wide variety of items to choose from: Some for gifts, some for personal, some for a laugh. The next time you feel like browsing for something different, stop by. They have street parking as well as a free parking lot across the street. The cluster of shoppes all carry items that are a little bit different and together are making the downtown a destination for a day of browsing/buying. Review #2726

You'll also find some gifts and clothes, but the plants are definitely the focal point of the shop. I picked up a tiny air plant and a pot for it and can't wait to see how she grows. I hope they expand their selection as the shop grows - there are lots of cute plant shops in Indianapolis but it was really nice to find this spot a little closer to home.

They were very helpful…read morewhen I was looking to get my new couch and showed me some of the floor models and after I narrowed down what I wanted they walked me through my color options. It was simple and easy. They were not pushy or overbearing trying to make a sell. After everything was set up and I decided what I wanted, they were up front and told me that it would be about 8 or 9 months for the furniture to come in due to COVID. So, they asked that I put half down on my furniture and pay the remaining balance when the furniture comes in. I normally would be a bit hesitant to give that much money to some businesses because without getting the product. However, I felt comfortable doing it with them and did so without hesitation. During the wait, I called a few times and they gladly gave me updates on my sectional. They called me right away when it came in. It was a month earlier than they had predicted. They offer a delivery service for a fee, I think like $150 or so. But I could not wait and just rented a U-Haul and got a buddy and went and picked up the sectional myself. The process was seamless and pretty easy. The only issue, which was out of their control, was the long wait. This business is run by a wonderful couple who is very knowledgeable about furniture. They made the sometime daunting task of furniture shopping easy and enjoyable. I recommend checking this place out for your furniture needs. They are honest, upfront, and friendly.

Our purchases were made during the thick of COVID in 2020 and were told you front that it would take 8-10 weeks for our sectional to arrive.

If you've not been in their store, you're missing out and should plan to visit. Very down to earth people, easy to talk to and will pull up a seat and have a nice conversation with you.

Before entering, know cats and dogs are wandering freely if you're scared of either or have an allergy. I enjoyed visiting with both as we love animals, but again, we have no allergic issues. Don't let the stairs deter you from visiting as a ramp is located to the left of the stairs. It is slightly steep but manageable for most. You are entering two floors of gorgeous country, farmhouse, and primitive decor. Every inch of the two floors is staged beautifully. Most of the items sold have wonderful displays of how to use the merchandise. Wonderful ideas, and if you have any questions, just ask for assistance. The owner, I'm assuming, was friendly and answered all my questions. She allowed us to wander at our pace and not be underfoot. I was only capable of browsing the main floor today, but I do plan on returning to tackle the second floor stairs on May 6th. I love 95% of every display I saw. The merchandise is lovely, good quality, and makes an instant impact on your decor. Regardless of your decor, you'll most likely find something you can add to your home. I'm excited to return this weekend for the Spring Market at Take Root. If you're looking for something to do, stop by the Southside and check out Take Root and Abby's Closet (next door).
