Super-cute store with loads of really nice things 'packed' into a space that feels airy and has…read morethat real Med. Sea vibe (I know, because I grew up close to there.) Awesome hand lotions, hair perfumes, Turkish towels (I got a great grape [okay, just plain purple] and pink one that's got teal on the other side -- just beautiful and so soft, ooh, what luxury! Turkish towels are awesome because they take up less space and dry far more quickly than other, thicker towels, so of course they end up both smelling much better and being a lot more hygienic. The orange-scented hand lotion is super-luxe, too, with a rich creamy feel and excellent scent. I got the amber hair perfume. The rugs are really nice, with just enough texture balanced together with softness and sturdiness all together in one piece -- and there is an amazing selection of different colours of these area rugs available, all rolled up nicely in a cool basket. Speaking of baskets, they've got them! The baskets have a real beachy vibe and would be perfect for a day (or a week, or more!) at the beach. They're real sturdy and stand up well on their own, unlike some other floppier baskets or of course beach bags out there .... The baskets are also really good for shopping, too. There are cookbooks, fun cooking and cleaning supplies such as the never-before-seen-by-me ravioli-shaped sponges and oh-so-many things to explore, I wouldn't want to ruin it for you by telling you more! The person I encountered was super-helpful, friendly, nice, accommodating, etc. The parking is plentiful (At least it was when I was there.), and if you like pretty, flowery things, there is also a lovely gardening center just steps away ... plus lots of other stuff nearby to explore in Kensington! Very glad I stopped by! Only thing is: it's closed on Mondays. Oh, and I love the name, too! Olive & Loom -- even the name has texture and beauty in it .... A very 'Yay' type of find, indeed! Just lovely. :-)

However, the parking lot is huge. This is my favorite location in the area! Highly recommend!

The Store Reporter called Homesense, " A Home Goods store on steroids. " I really like shopping at…read moreHome Goods, so I couldn't wait to visit Homesense. Located directly behind Target on Bou Avenue, Homesense is a large store that carries a variety of furniture, lamps, decorations, and kitchen wear. The store is new and the people who worked there couldn't have been nicer. I found a number of items that were not clearly marked, so I had to ask for help. There is a large number of cashiers, so you don't have to wait in long lines. The only problem I found were the prices. Most of the items I was looking at were priced close to the retail price. I really was looking for a better price. The store is clean, well stocked, and has courteous sales people. I am sure that I will be back.

Homesense Rockville needs to review better customer service practices! I asked to see the lamp on the top shelf that's listed as $79 and a sales associate had to get a ladder to get it down! Then you get to the check out and I'm being told by the manager Matt that a customer place that tag on it! Makes no practical sense! It's on the very top self misleading customers! Made sure I uploaded a photo! As a general rule I don't let no bad experience stop me from shopping instead I write a negative review!

Janna understood my style instantly, and identified the best pieces for me after the desk I was originally interested in was taken. Finishing this desk was a battle royale due to the veneer that they did not realize was originally there, but they did it! And Scott personally tapped in every one of these tacks around the chair. These people do not quit. Janna also walked me through some detailing of a vintage piece that has been in my family since forever and distressing of a picture frame -- as in, countless messages back-and-forth until I felt completely comfortable. And it came out with fabulous results. On top of the top-notch work, it's wonderful to support a small business. I have loved every moment that I have been in touch with Janna and Scott, and look forward to more with these people I now consider friends. Do yourself a favor and check out Joyful Heart Reclaimed!

They have home furnishing items for your kitchen and living areas, but they also have great gifts for baby showers. Lots of lotions and oils and they also carry Vera Bradley products.

They also validate parking, which is always a plus when I just want to do a quick pop-in and not have to pay the $4 parking garage fee. Definitely check their hours on their website because it varies depending on the day. Park in Garage A and it's an easy walk over to the shop
