Everything here, from the vintage clothing to the antique/restored furnishings and select pieces of art were classy, elegant, quality pieces. We were warmly welcomed be the attendant, and spent most of our limited minutes discussing our mutual love of dogs with her, while meandering through the shop and fawning over various items in hushed whispers to each other. Antique hunters and interior decorators take note: you won't have to sift through cluttered shelves, boxes and cabinets full of yesteryear's kitsch to find the good stuff here. It's all right there in the open, and you won't need to dip into your savings to dress or decorate in style. Abigail's is very recommended!

Just found Ole and Inga the other day. It's on Viking Avenue near the gas station & movie theater…read more The shop is Annie Sloan chalk paint proprietor and does specialty painting workshops too. It is two rooms with mainly furniture and some decorative items. The furniture is cute vintage, with a French vibe, some painted in the Annie Sloan chalk paint, and others left with regular wood. Pieces include bureaus to vanities to tables to china cabinets and prices reflect the amount of time spent on each item. If this is your style of furniture or you love Annie Sloan paint, be sure to stop in.

Loyde was at the counter and kindly let us shop as he said other shoppers were still inside. I was looking for a bag and earrings. Loyed was so helpful. He knows his stock better than anyone I had come across in a very long time. He was not pushy and showed me all the features of items I was interested in as well as suggesting a few items that were similar. In the end I bought a great crossbody bag and two jewelry bags! My friend bought a few things and was also very happy with our shopping time. If you are the owner and reading this, Loyde deserves a raise! He is wonderful! We will be back and telling our friends to stop in! PS the cute Halloween decorations in the window drew us in to begin with!

I'm hooked on the darling nautical items, and glad they carry them year-round. Why should they just be a summer speciality? I usually don't need help, but the workers are scarce. Prices are ok. But the location is great; I'm more relaxed shopping on Front Street in this adorable downtown!

I've always thought I had relatively good design sense. But after a year-and-a-half of lock-down and working from home, I felt the place was looking a little blah.  But I'd been procrastinating.  On a whim one Saturday, I walked into Seldens and met Christine. I explained what I'd been thinking, and she got it immediately. She asked a lot of questions and took the time to get to know what I like and don't like. I appreciated that she listened and worked with me to propose a range of solutions that seemed to work for me and helped me prioritize what would give me the most "bang for the buck".   She didn't propose a radical makeover but rather a smart choice of options that had the impact. And she was able share examples from other projects she'd completed so I could see how some of the ideas she was suggesting would look in my place. I went from hesitant to excited, and I can hardly wait for everything to get the first phase of my spruce-up project implemented.  I started out thinking I didn't really need a designer per se. But thanks to Christine Wang's help and the resources at Seldens, I wouldn't start a project without consulting with her first. Annie G

The one word to describe this store is: eclectic. With such a varied mix of merchandise, it will be…read moredifficult to adequately describe the store, let alone review it. (Note: there seems to be two separate Yelp sites for this store. This "Bad Blanche" site and one for "Bad Blanche Collections". Both are describing the same store on Front Street. Hopefully the Yelp gods will consolidate these two sites!). If you are looking for a $2.99 "Grow your own Pirate" toy, you will find it here. If you are instead looking for a $4,000 sideboard, you too will find it here. And so many things in between, in every price point in between. How does one review this store? There's a lot of jewelry. And hats. And clutches and purses. Yes, there are bins of inexpensive scarves at the front of the store (2 for $10), but I found the women's accessories and jewelry to be overpriced. There's a very large assortment of household décor and accents - especially beach- and nautical-themed pieces, and most of these were beautiful and unique and reasonably priced. I had never seen most of these home accents before. Very lovely. Then there are Asian-inspired furniture pieces (chests, cabinets, a gorgeous bamboo ladder); these appeared to be in decent condition and well-priced. There are many canvas plaques with stenciled sayings on them and other assorted wall décor, decoupage ornaments, knick-knacks, and small kiddie toys. All in all, quite the potpourri of stuff! The store is long and deep and you can (and should!) spend some time exploring it. The lady at the cash was friendly; when we came in, she was singing along to the taped music. This is definitely a unique store that totally fits in with the Poulsbo scene. I look forward to returning.

We went in and clearly stated we were just looking. Every time one of us touched something the staff was right next to us watching our every move, like we were going to steal something. Than they would begin to tell us every single detail about what ever it was we touched. Next came the high pressure sales. I'm not sure what part of we are just looking, they couldn't figure out but I wasn't having it so I left.

When it was ready I was told it was ready, he said 20 hours! DOUBLE... and at $150/hrs I was speechless. I struggled to go ahead with the job at 10 hours figuring 2 or 3 over, but not double! Total would've been over $3300... The good... I told/asked him to split the difference and call it 15. Settled on 16 hours. I felt better but still ended up being $2625... The great... the craftsmanship... The table came out great. Looks beautiful. The kicker was he told me he's been doing this for 50 years and he's 73 and this is his living... My response was if you're at this 50 years you should be able to have a more accurate estimate. The word approximately means close to but not exact... Does NOT mean double and hose the customer.
