Customer Service was outstanding, as Carolyn was so helpful, and two other staffers (whose names I didn't get) were incredibly kind and gave us recommendations about local places to eat. They had some truly humorous items in the store, and their buyer must have a great sense of humor. Enjoyed the number of gift items to pick from.

Also, if I saw a toddler enter my carefully curated home decor establishment, I just might be be terrified, but not the case here. Owner was so sweet to my little one, chatting with her and even sending her home with a little ring. I can't believe I've been driving by on my way to Trader Joe's and haven't stopped in before. Major lapse in judgement. Check it out!

I came to The Mustache Cat for a Candlemaking collab class with Onyx Candles as a gift for my…read morebirthday. What a fantastic gift to receive!!! Lots of free parking options nearby & in a convenient location in St Paul. Immediately as I was walking in I fell in love with the colors, selection of goods to search through, and textures everywhere. It's not overwhelming, but it seems like everywhere you look there's more to see. It also smells great in the store! Sometimes when I go to curated vintage stores they're a little out of my budget, but The Mustache Cat really had something for everyone and all price ranges. For example, there was a really sweet almost neon orange retro mushroom lamp for about $130, and across the room there was a cozy vintage ceramic soup bowl for $12. I loved Rebecca's curated selections, and she was kind, inviting, and helpful. Worth noting is that it can be easy in the space to accidentally bump into things. A couple items took a little tumble while I was there (gasp!!!! Always a scary moment) and it was met with the kind assurance, "we are not a museum, it's ok!" So nice! One of the unique things about The Mustache Cat is that the inventory is either thrifted and curated by Rebecca or is created by women makers. She had a corporate job before opening TMC and this is her big dream. I can tell looking around that she's passionate about her business and loves what she does. Great spot for decor, paper goods, candles, and more. Lovely place to find gifts for yourself or someone else! And the stock is ever changing so there's always a reason to come back ;)

Omforme has been my go-to for years when I want to add a unique piece of furniture or accessory to…read moremy home, or purchase a special one-of-a-kind gift. My first purchase was a coffee table Carter made with hexagonal mirrored tiles. From then I was hooked. My next purchase was a gorgeous mid-century liquor cabinet. I've purchased elegant fun gifts for friends at Omforme -- tell Carter about the recipient and he has always had a number of great suggestions. But my favorite part of Omforme is Carter's personal restyling of furniture. He carefully restores the original to beautiful condition, and then adds a bit of flavor to update it. I have also brought him some garage sale finds or family heirlooms, and each time he has transformed it from a boring old piece of furniture with "good bones" to something I love to see and use in my home. I consider Carter my personal furniture artist and home style consultant. He has helped me change my home from "comfortable" to "warm, welcoming, and uniquely beautiful".
