I'm totally obsessed with All Matters Gallery. In truth, I found this spot on happy accident. I was…read morewalking down the street when I noticed a little visual of beautiful crystals down a shallow staircase. I forced my Mom to go in with me. We were completely smitten with the vast selection of crystals and other stones. If you are into crystal healing or crystals as art, you're going to be in heaven. I may be so bold as to say that All Matters has the best selection for crystal healing stones I've ever seen. They're untreated, intricately labeled with instruction cards (so appreciated) and come in all forms ranging from raw chunks to tumbled stones and pieces of jewelry. I purchased a few for myself and a few as gifts and they were so nicely wrapped. They also had various salt lamps and other decorative accessories such as crystal candle votives and artwork, but I was so laser focused on the gorgeous and robust crystal selection, which contained even rare stones that are hard to find. The shop owners were very friendly and chatty - they told me they were celebrating 20+ years! They also had the most adorable senior pup, Jasper, chilling behind the counter. I'm so glad I walked downstairs to discover this absolutely wonderful spot! I will be back all the time.

I am absolutely in love with this little shop! Down a small stairway is a room full of crystals of…read moreall shapes, sizes, and kinds. They have a wonderful selection and cards to explain the uses of each. They also have crystal and stone jewelry if that is what you are looking for. In addition to their great crystal selection, they have other items such as singing bowls, smudging supplies/tools, and art pieces. The owner is also so kind and helpful. In chatting with him, I learned that they have a Native American source who had her own shop for many years until her health brought her to Cleveland. She also blesses and cleanses everything before the shop gets them. It is so clear that the owners care about providing quality items that will be helpful for their customers, not just selling product. I will definitely be visiting All Matters for many years to come.

As with any artwork, Hill's work has an interesting background and story he's happy to tell in an easygoing, no pressure way. Ranging from abstract landscapes to future realistic cityscapes, the art is printed on a variety of surfaces all juxtaposed by rustic framing. The effect is appealing and represent a terrific bargain, given the quality. Bonus: Gregg will pack and ship.

Am a huge fan of Annie Sloan chalk paint and Renee specializes in this and also how to use this incredibly magical paint. Super helpful, great suggestions, and lots of ideas can be found here.

The shop is super cute and quaint and there is a little antique store in the back as well- easy to find great little things to paint. Worth it in every way.

With this being said, I was really disappointed with this unusual shop. I had been eying this Indian style cabinet displayed in the front window for months & finally stopped in to see what this charming shop had to offer. Don't get me wrong, there are some really cool ideas that from what I've seen on their facebook page, you can sign up for classes & make yourself. And there are some truly stunning antique pieces available for any collector. In fact, I really like the idea of this concept, however, not only did the slightly overpriced inventory get me but the overall store setup & true purpose. It's not really a furniture store in my eyes but more of a chalk paint store only. It was kind of a shame to see some actual solid oak & cherry wood antiques ruined by chalk paint. The prices for the workshops are average for this area, roughly $55.00 plus tax. This shop would be a good idea if you enjoyed things like "Painting with a Twists" or are exploring new hobbies (there's NOTHING fun to do in Mantua!)... sorry, just not what I'd call a true furniture shop.

A part of Cleveland State University, you can easily see the window display from Euclid Avenue, but don't be deceived. While the doors look locked, you can absolutely enter. This gallery simply shares a door with other businesses located in their building. If it's locked, feel free to buzz, and one of the friendly gallery assistants will let you in. The Galleries consistently hosts some of the most innovative and internationally recognized artists. If anything, you must, at a minimum, stop by for the annual People's Art Show. The People's Art Show is a free, unjuried, uncensored exhibition celebrating creativity, diversity, and imagination. Any artist can contribute, and any person can purchase a piece of artwork directly off the wall. The amount of ingenuity, perspective and originality that sprawls from this exhibit is utterly fascinating. Regardless of the exhibition, you can spend a solid 1-2 hours exploring through this robust gallery. Once you enter, it's surprising how much quality art there is to absorb. The gallery starts in one open room, weaves through a narrow hallway, and expansively opens into another high-ceiling showroom. Take the time to wander, ask questions, and soak in the talent represented in this gallery!

The owner, Hilary Gent, provides contemporary space for emerging and professional artists to exhibit their work. Visiting HEDGE is a true experience. It's large, modern space beautifully curated by Hilary's thoughtful eye. Hilary consistently has new, groundbreaking exhibits, which will challenge you to think about art. Even if you think you "don't know about art," HEDGE's inclusiveness and friendly atmosphere will make you feel at home. For art collectors with more eclectic taste, HEDGE is your mecca. Hilary's curation brings in everything from lighting fixtures to acrylic paintings, drawings, textiles, and photography at affordable varying price ranges. I'm looking forward to seeing her current exhibition, THREADED, a textile art collection by three women artists. Hilary herself is also a brilliant artist, so take the time to observe her stuff! She's also a well-known event planner known for her chic, tasteful weddings within this space. If I ever get married, Hilary will be the first person I call. During the next Third Friday (when 78th Street Studios is open to the general public), head to Hilary's gallery for a great social hour, a glass of wine, and to meet other supremely interesting people. Her dog, Jack, will be waiting to greet you!
