Eclectic selection of home goods/decor…read more I found this cute little shop while visiting Rochester during the holidays. What a gem it was! As soon as I stepped inside, I knew I was going to like it. I think I fell in love with nearly everything that I saw. It was just so cute and inviting from my first impression. Everywhere I turned, I found something unique and thoroughly "un-cookie cutter" that I'd love to redecorate my home with. Mentally, I compiled an ever-growing list of "must-haves" as I perused the aisles. As a browsed, it became more apparent that my list of "must haves" was growing exponentially. In one corner was a chic silver/glass lamp, in another and end table that I couldn't live without and tucked away into a cozy corner were some Eiffel Tower-inspired wine glasses that I suddenly found myself unable to live without. How amazing would those glasses look in my dining room? Oh, I could just envision it. The merchandise included an interesting mix of bohemian glam, upcycled flea market finds/restored vintage pieces, and French-inspired style. This shop had a little bit of everything, from furniture, art and decorative accessories to dishes, glassware, kitchenware, as well as restored antique drawer pulls, linens and even a super cute, albeit limited, line of jewelry. I liked one of the necklaces so much that I snapped it up and told my husband he could give it to me at Christmas, which he did (yes, I often pick out my own Christmas gifts). Elsewhere, with visions of redecorating the house in my head, I spied decorative pieces, like vintage-inspired signage, mirrors, shelves, and lamps selling at both high and lower end price points. In other words, if you want to splurge and go big, you can definitely do it if you have deep pockets, while others items were pretty reasonably priced. I liked the well-balanced mixture of higher and lower end goods. It's a more eclectic way of decorating- you know, not "cookie cutter." The owner waited on me personally. She was super nice and asked me about my weekend, etc. She even wrapped my purchases up carefully in tissue paper spritzed with light fragrance. This place definitely gets high marks in all areas, including customer service. At the end of the day, it made for a pleasant day of shopping and I'm not even sure I cared how much I spent. You know the experience was good when you don't bother checking the credit card receipt afterward! If I hadn't exercised a bit of fiscal restraint, I would probably would have charged half the store to my credit card. While I would have no problem with that, my husband probably would. Therefore, I settled on a couple of items and called it a day. Sigh. However, I will be back. There is no doubt about that.

I also got a few ideas for possible crafts that I could make someday, like the gorgeous yet simple acorn twig wreath. I was very tempted to buy the silver and gold resin deer and am now thinking of ways to make it myself as a quarantine arts and crafts project. The prices are reasonable bordering on high end. For example, the glitter deer I admired costs $40. Service could be improved. Most of the sales associates were chatting by the register. No one offered assistance or said hello first. Overall, this is a fun shop for browsing when in downtown Rochester and I will stop by again.

Initially, I had Becky come out and "tweak" my living and dining rooms, utilizing my existing furniture and providing some key new pieces. She provided multiple options for new drapes which pulled each room together and created the look I wanted. More recently, Becky designed our new master suite and main bath renovation. She assisted me during the construction phase with color and material choices-- a huge help-- as well as advising on aesthetic considerations during the planning stage. Afterward, she reviewed the 100+ screenshots and photos I had gathered to convey what I was hoping to create in our bedroom and two bathrooms. Becky managed to distill those images into what is now our beautiful retreat, with soft colors, welcoming furnishings and bespoke details. Can't say enough good things about Hepplewhite's, Amy, and Becky!

The space is noticeably bigger than their previous one, which gives them more staging area and space to offer larger pieces of furniture, artwork, and clothing in addition to all the unique goodies they already carried within the store that are smaller scale. Everything here is extremely pricey, which is unfortunate for me given that there are many things I love from here, but I just simply can't justify spending exorbitant amounts of money on these sorts of homegoods and accessories too often. The products they carry are definitely geared towards the more affluent and those with lofty home design ideas, as they also have fabric samples and the like to help you design and customize your furniture and upholstery upon them in the back of the store too. The price tags make sense in the sense that I have not seen any of the products they offer in any other stores in the metro Detroit area, so there's nothing to compare their goods to. This is a great place to window shop or stop in to get inspiration for your home and to pick up a unique piece or two. I'm still thinking about the tatted up Albert Einstein piece of artwork (included in the photos!), which I love so much, but even just the print of it without it framed was already $70-80 and that's a hard price to justify even for hot Albert Einstein! I like how every time I stop in to Talulah Belle, there's always new discoveries to be had. They clearly refresh their stock frequently and it's always great to stop in here for inspiration and intentionally unique gifts for the loved ones in your life...including yourself!

And with the end product, there's a greater chance of you putting it on display at home than putting up a painting (unless you're really good at it). The problem I have is with the stencils and the quality of them. When you put a stencil onto the piece, you should never have to worry about paint bleeding out. Hence, the purpose of the stencil. Yet, this continued to happen. Even putting the stencil on the piece (which is done by a member of staff) proved to be very trying. All of this led to wasted time. Our class was 4-630 pm and at 715 pm, my piece was still incomplete. I ended up having to leave it there as we had reservations at 715 pm, and will have to pick up the finished product later on. I definitely think they need more staff to help people along and stay within the allotted time. Also, they definitely need better stencil sticking paper, because that whole thing was super annoying. The staff were very helpful and kind-- just not enough of them. This will probably be my last time going.

This store is beautiful and charming and while I did not find the perfect item for my dad, the owner was so super sweet and informative and it was a blessing just to come in and see the fountains and other well sculpted marvels. She told me the store has been in her family since 1966 and it made me wonder if my grandparents who lived in nearby Shelby Township had bought their garden fountain and Madonna statues here because I felt really at home here for some reason. Like I had been there before. When I did not find exactly what I wanted, the owner referred me to a few other nurseries in the area, where I did end up finding some items. She really knows her products very well and take the time to educate and and help you make decisions. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for garden statues or fixtures or great advice on the subject. Rooted in family history and family owned, it was refreshing to have real customer service in this self-serve world. I have encouraged friends and members of my MI family to check them out.

The key is "healthy" plants , where once you put the effort into planting your plant and spending the time and effort to get it established you want it to live. I have had great success over the years with Bordine plants surviving that it has become my go to Nursery store in the area. In this particular visit, I purchased two grapevines, Reliance and Canadice, That are a tad difficult to find and when you do will run you up to $50 per vine. At $19 a vine I feel I got a great deal and knowledge that the plants are healthy and in a good position to survive once planted. Not bad considering the alternatives. If you have a green thumb and have never been to a Bordines before you should definately check this business out.
