I purchased my first home in 2020, and was so excited and thankful to discover this local place when the world opened back up and I could finally fill my empty home. This spot was my go-to for quality, unique and fun pieces to add my personality to my house and the prices were always great. The owner and staff were always warm and engaging as soon as I walked through the door. Since they moved to 23rd Street everything I loved about this local boutique has changed. It's very obvious that they caught the attention of more affluent customers and now my presence is received the same way it it when I initially walked into Ethan Allen to purchase my sofa = ignored because i didn't "look" worthy enough to assist or even acknowledge. I'm not going to justify or defend my appearance but I'm not ignorant to game I have to play to get a modicum of respect. I always looked business professional and polished when I go to these types of business by default because they're close to my office downtown and I usually stop by after work. Regardless, I had a friend give me a gift card here two years ago because it is WELL KNOWN that I love(d) this place. Over those years I've walked in several times, not one person has spoken or greeted me, even if I'm close to the register and while I walk in with every intention of leaving with the newest happy addition to my home....I can't even bring myself to spend a PAID FOR GIFT CARD, because of the blatant mistreatment I'm faced with every single time I've walked through the doors of the 23rd street location. That is the reality of the world they have created at Live Boho though, the erroneous assumption for who the 'haves' and the 'have nots' are and only the latter do not even get the decency of their presence being acknowledged.
But if you're white and look affluent, you'll love it here. They have amazing pieces. read more
