Ten years ago, I hired Wendy from Dream House to re-decorate my townhouse in Rockville. I paid…read moreover $160,000 to Dream House for design advice, furniture, and accessories. At that time, I was very pleased with their work - so much so, I referred 3 family members and another friend - all of which also paid thousands of dollars to Dream House for various purchases. Two years ago, I reached out to Wendy again - this time for help when I purchased a second home in Florida. I spent $6,500K with Dream House on curtain rods, finials, rings, etc. and it ended up being an absolute fiasco. When the installer (whom I hired privately in Florida) arrived, he said the drapes could not be hung with these curtain rods because the drapes were too heavy. When I reached out to Wendy and Cassie, I learned they were both on vacation together in Spain. Wendy's response from Spain: "...how were we to know they were super heavy? We ordered rods for regular draperies." This response is from a woman who has 44 years of design experience? -- i.e. Wouldn't you inquire about the drapery fabric before ordering the rods and/or let a client know the limitations of the rods when selecting drape fabric? The drape installer left after I received this text from Wendy in Spain, "...I understand how you feel, but I worked very, very hard on this for you...spent hours on this. I've used all these rods before..I have never had an issue. At this point I'm on vacation and would rather not have to take care of this right now." Though Wendy admitted later that she should have never taken on my design project (true!), they only refunded me $1,100 for curtain rod hardware that I returned to them - indicating to me that the curtain rod company would not allow anything else to be returned since is it was custom ordered, and I also had to pay a 20% restocking fee. Disgusted, I asked Cassie to mail the $1,100 check to my Maryland address; instead she mailed it to my Florida home. When I requested that Cassie re-send the check to me at my Maryland home as requested, she told me she could only do this if I paid a $40 check stop payment fee. The moral of my story: Buyer beware! If you run into any issues, be assured from my experience that neither Wendy nor Cassie will take ANY ownership of the problem. Beyond a frustrating and disappointing experience from a once very loyal customer. My only solace is that I have repeated my horrible experience to many friends and family who will also never shop at Dream House again.

Dream House is one of a hundred quaint stores in Downtown Frederick. So what makes Dream House…read moredifferent. Well, I'll tell you, the store looks brand new. Mostly it is filled with oversized furniture which is a modern but comfortable take on higher end pieces. Me and my friend went to the back and sat on these amazing chairs that were electronically reclining. Cause I don't want to have to push with my back on the hair to make it recline. What am? An animal?! The woman who was very pleasant told us that the chairs could come in one of like 50 different fabrics and leathers. I sat on another couch before I left which was very comfortable. If I had a larger house, I would definitely stop by this store. I do like a lot of the patterns on the furniture. The customer service was great! I like the customizability! I do remember the prices were a little on the higher side, but probably level with other stores like it in the area. Also... I'm gonna be honest, I don't have the best gauge on furniture prices. I don't go furniture shopping that often, and when I do it's for vintage furniture. I wouldn't hesitate to stop back into the store to see the new things they have in stock.

I decided to go inside the building first and see what exactly this place is. The person I spoke with was so helpful and informative!

I think that it is still so so beautiful! There's still some leaves on the trees with yellow and a lot of pops of red. I really enjoyed the art installments!

I needed to replace an old net on one of my ponds so I checked the LilyPons website (where I had purchased the previous net) to be sure what I wanted was available. The website indicated that the net and the size I needed were available. Just to be prudent I tried calling LilyPons four times Thursday morning (June 9) to verify that the net I wanted was in stock. Nobody ever answered the phone. Since the website said the net I wanted was available I decided to make the 30 mile drive (one way) and pick one up. When I arrived I was greeted by a helpful young woman who asked if she could help me. When I told her what I wanted she immediately replied that not only did they not have that size net in stock but that the manufacturer had stopped making it and they would probably not be able to get any more. I left disappointed... When I arrived back home I rechecked the website which still showed the net I wanted was available so on a whim I placed an order fully expecting the order to be canceled. Imagine my surprise when I received both an email and a phone call Friday morning (June 10) stating my order was ready for pick up. I drove back Saturday (June11) and got the net. It was exactly what I had been told was not available, turns out they had plenty in the on-site warehouse. I wish the young woman I had spoken to had called the warehouse or at least notified them when the retail store was out. After spending more than double on gasoline to make two round-trips than their shipping would have cost I think this may be my last trip to LilyPons. I should also point out that when making the size selection online the website indicates a price but when you put the item in your cart the price is $10 higher.

It's my second Murphy bed from the terrific Rob Myers, owner of the More Space Place in Chantilly, Va. (The first one lasted 21 years of daily use). Even with an injured rotator cuff, I have no problem pulling down and putting up the new bed. The mattress is really comfy (choices are firm or plush). Their installers are top-notch, and creatively solve problems of tricky interiors. They also do all sorts of other custom cabinetry and built-ins, but all I needed was a place to sleep. I've known Rob since 2004 and he is terrific. I've recommended him to a half-dozen friends who are equally pleased with the results. I can't say enough good things about him and his crew.
