Finally got help when we said out loud "Maybe we can find someone who works here". No real help was offered. We asked about bedroom furniture and were told that they mostly work with designers. Oh, really? We looked at area rugs and window coverings, but again, no assistance was offered even though there was absolutely no one else in the store. So...maybe we don't look like we can afford their furnishings? Maybe we aren't their type of customer? We definitely felt like they had no time for us. We took our business across town, purchased everything we wanted at Distinctive Furnishings and even ordered some of the exact items we saw at Etc from Distinctive Furnishings at a lower price point. Beautiful store, but the customer service is sorely lacking. We won't sully their store with our presence again.

My roommate and I went shopping here and he bought his first couch for our apartment, and the customer service we recieved was exceptional. Every single person working is kind and thoughtful and really goes out of their way to help. The delivery was incredible too, the movers even stopped to chat with my friend's grandma! She was taken aback at how kind and professional they were and gives her full recommendation; Furniture Exchange is the best and they care about their customers. Can't recommend any place more

Distinctive Home Furnishings is located near Menards, and I hope they're here to stay. After I received my tax refund, I decided to take a look around. My old Flexsteel had popped a spring, and because it was kind of beat up, I thought a new recliner might make a nice treat. They had some BEAUTIFUL floor models, and had catalogs showing almost any variation you could think of if you wanted a different color or material. In some cases, they had less expensive options if you don't have a premium brand budget. After running into some health issues, I had to take a new recliner off my wish list. However, being an authorized Flexsteel dealer, they were able to assist me with the repair of my old recliner. Because Flexsteel offers a lifetime warranty on their springs, I was able to breathe new life into my old recliner, and my back has thanked me! If you have a repair done, just be ready to wait. Those things take time, but totally worth the wait. I'm grateful for their help, and when I have a recliner budget, I'm heading back as fast as I can to get one!

Skirt and Satchel is a new boutique on the square in downtown Bloomington. They offer a range of…read moreproducts from women's clothing and accessories to bath and body products for both men and women. What makes them different from other stores and boutiques is that they pride themselves in the fact that they offer all their clothing pieces in sizes Small to 3X! That is definitely not something you can find at any other clothing store or boutique. They think girlfriends should be able to shop together no matter what their sizes are!! What a forward thinking idea!?! I love their concept and can't wait to stop by with my girlfriends in tow. They are always getting new inventory, making them an addictive stop when out downtown. They are a great place to find a fun and unique gift for your friend, family member or coworker. They sell beautiful and unique jewelry pieces as well as cruelty free bath and body products. They are definitely a place you will want to check out. You can also shop online if you want. The staff is very nice and helpful, shopping there is fun and enjoyable.

That was enough to make me stop shopping there, and I have. I refuse to support any business that feels like they have to get involved at that level, especially when it comes to denying women rights. I stopped back in recently because I needed a large sewing needle, and I just did't feel like making another trip somewhere. I was on the east side, and Hobby Lobby was there. The good news is they seem to have more employees available on the floor than they used to. The bad news is that you'll find an employee before you ever find what you're looking for. There are NO aisle markers at all to tell you what's in there. You might do a complete loop of the store and pass by the thing you're trying to find. So - 2 stars for ugly politics and -1 for no aisle signs. It's a craft store. Make some!

Once they really started to bloom and open up, they were glorious, AND they didn't die for almost 2 weeks!! Normally, I'm not much of a 'loves getting flowers' kind of gal BUT I'm reformed now!! The few times my husband has brought home bouquets recently, they're just so beautiful and happy that I can't help but feel recharged and super loved. I happened to go to work with him one day and he walked me next door to Flowers & Interiors, where he introduced me to MaryJane, OUR new florist. As you walk into the shop you can't help but feel the whimsy as every corner has beautiful plants, flower designs, and really cute decorations to shop for. The pricing is beyond reasonable and the quality of the goods is top notch, not to mention the creative and lasting flower designs. As far as MaryJane, what a lovely lady!!! So friendly and helpful, she gives her undivided attention to your needs and she's funny too lol. I find myself in her shop as often as I can now as I've tried to explain to my husband that we 'need more plants' I highly recommend this business and you won't be sorry!!!

The prices are reasonable for the quality of work. This store is run by a non-profit artist organization, The Pillar Group. There's another similar shop at College Mall in Bloomington, where Victoria's Secret once stood past Target. The art is diverse and has a local and Indiana theme to it. While most jewelry is focused towards women, there are a few pieces of men's gear. It has the feel of a gift shop, and indeed there are greeting cards, and wrapping available for purchases. It's a very wide variety of handmade art, and it's all well-presented. I'm embarrassed how much I've purchased here; the values are pretty good for what I look for. Parking is downtown-crappy, but the store is bright and easy to shop.

Another benefit of getting out to explore your community is finding a business you didn't know was there and you are pleasantly surprised by what you find. Kind of like finding a hidden treasure! My wife was shopping next door inside Tivoli Fashions in the Fountain Square Mall just south of the county courthouse in Bloomington. Since the shopping she was doing had nothing to do with me, I wandered out into the mall and found By Hand Gallery just across the hallway. If you enjoy looking at hand crafted items like wall hangings, ceramics, and small items that can be gifts for either your friends or for yourself. When I walked in, I was immediately greeted and asked if I needed any assistance. Even when I explained that I only stopped in to pass time while my wife shopped next door, he said he understood and to feel free to browse and ask questions. I was feeling welcomed, not watched or like I was wasting his time. That's good business. I really enjoyed looking over the items. I don't do a lot of decorating in our home, but I did see things here that I thought would look nice. I didn't make any purchases at this time, but the items I looked at seemed of good quality and worth considering coming back for. Review #3911
