This was my first visit and I was definitely impressed with the large selection of home decor both inside and out. Really unique pieces of furniture, art, rugs and appliances. The prices were in line with some of the other large decor warehouses, but also cheaper than the more high end designer warehouses or stores. Same quality but maybe a little dusty. I will definitely be returning to this warehouse for my home decor needs. By the way, they have all your flooring needs, as well.

The showroom itself is beautiful and updated constantly to reflect the new arrivals and seasons. Staff is very helpful, Miss Scottlyn toured us around the floor and asked what we were interested in! I love that the staff wants to make thier pieces work with your existing home, and they're not going to try to sell you on an entire room of furniture. The merchandise itself is great, some prints of birds caught my eye, and I'm usually not a fan of mass-produced art at all. If you're looking for bed linens, this is a great place to check out! Comparable to Pottery Barn, but something a little bit different. Very happy to have Ballard in Birmingham, it's a great place to gather inspiration if nothing else.

The furniture, art, and other decorative pieces were gorgeous and priced really well. There were some unique finds that you probably wouldn't look for but would be glad you stumbled upon and lots of classic pieces too. I became obsessed with a couple of items but wanted to measure before making a purchase. Steve happily provided his card in case things worked out. Unfortunately, I returned home to find that my hunch was correct and the pieces wouldn't be a good fit. No worries. I'll for sure keep Soho in mind during the rest of my redecorating!

Many years ago, when I first moved to Birmingham, I was at the beach (Seaside, FL) and was…read morerandomly treated to a mimosa in one of the cottages that I had admired for a long time. It was a beautiful morning, nothing out of the ordinary, I was on my walk through the winding pathways to the shopping district. As I stopped to admire the house that I loved so much, the owners just happened to be there, (saw me gawking), and invited me in to see the place, and share a mimosa. Yes. The house was fabulous - something that us "common folk" could never imagine owning. Yes. The owners found me peering through the scrub oak at the fabulous abode that they tried so hard to make their "intimate get away place". And Yes. This homeowner was kind enough to satisfy my curiosity and invited me in (not to mention offering me a mimosa)! That tells you a little about the owner of Richard Tubb Interiors! And that's just the kind of guy he is. Warm, kind, genuine, inviting. And that's just what his showroom down on 2nd South is - warm and inviting. It's not stuffy, it's comfy & cozy. It's not full of crap that some of us would never dream of having in our homes. It's filled with clean, crisp, beautiful furnishings that invite you to just come in and sit a spell. I have been shopping at Richard Tubb for well over 12 years. It's been my go to place for "big girl furniture". There is always something new and exciting in store for me - whether it be the BEST sofa I've ever sunk into or the newest line of candles that I must have. My home is an evolving project - I always have something in the works. Richard's team of designers (they are all great, but I have my favorite - Sam! He just "gets" me) are there to help me make the perfect decision when I am lost on the entire set up or to just nail the decision down when I need a little validation. They have a vast selection of the most fabulous moderately priced home furnishings, but can totally amp it up to extraordinary, if need be. Very well rounded, very good selection, very conscious designers. **Richard introduced himself to me that morning at the beach, although I didn't know much about Birmingham and had no idea who he was. He was not boastful or overly proud, he was just a nice guy with an awesome beach house. I still walk by Chatham on my visits to the beach and recall the very friendly gentleman who invited me in for a mimosa and to share his great place. Unfortunately, the place has changed lots (as much of 30A has), but I will always remember that morning - And maybe that's the reason (along with SAM!) that I keep my business at RT.

We continued to browse while my husband overheard the woman telling the elderly man I'm assuming her husband to keep an eye on us.

Knowing the antique community is very small and not kindly to minorities. There are far better places that won't profile you in the Birmingham area

I was given a gift card to this place by a good friend. I had never heard of this store, but my…read morefriend knows me well because when I entered last week, I was so happy to see all the different items made by people all around the world. I was able to talk with the manager (or maybe owner) and she told me they work with 400 cooperatives in 59 countries across the world. The first time I went, I didn't buy anything because there were so many different things and I wanted more time to really look at everything. There were household goods, instruments, shoes, blankets, jewelry, art, and so much more. Prices range from low to high, but all are fairly priced to help promote economic development in the countries that send the goods. The second time I went, I took my husband with me. He settled on a Gourd Shaker made in Peru and I purchased earrings made in Kenya. While we were there, we saw a djembe that we will probably go back and get. I highly suggest you stop by. You'll probably find several things you like! Oh, this place is great for finding unique gifts. I'll be a repeat customer.

I've heard of the Brass Bear when I've been to a few estate sales. So when I looked over while…read moredriving by and saw it, I figured I'd check it out. Kind of a mistake. It's a pretty big store, and there is a lot to see. I'm sure there are many fabulous items, but it's not really a place to "stop in and check it out." I think you have to both be in the mood/frame-of-mind to really look at everything and have the time to do it. You could very easily spend all day there. "Just browsing" isn't going to cut it. That said, I had neither the time nor the inclination to spend the time to really give it a good shopping. Instead I found it overwhelming, so I just politely walked most of the aisles only looking at the things that really jumped out at me. Because it was a Saturday, there seemed to be a number of vendors there, so I'm sure there are some interesting stories to be told, and they could surely help if you're searching from something specific.

I asked one gentleman at the cashier's desk if he thought a Vendor would be willing to negotiate over price of a specific piece of furniture and he quickly responded, 'Let's give him a call right now.' And sure enough, the Vendor did in fact work with me on the price and I went home with a chair I really wanted. Actually, there is a little bit of everything that collectors hope to see at the Brass Bear at reasonable prices. In addition, parking is free and convenient at the front of the store. Stop by one day when you have a free hour to treat yourself.
