While in Historic Folsom I was looking for a particular restaurant. Well I was out of luck on the restaurant, it no longer exists. But what I did find in the process was the Not Too Shabby shop. Right when I stepped into the shop, I knew right away I might be in trouble. Not only was I greeted and welcomed, I eyed lots of gift-able items that I wanted. They sold new home decor items, seasonal decorations, and a pretty intense chalk paint selection. Everything was vibing a chic farm house style. They even have a cute class space for DIY workshops. Check out the website for upcoming events. They have a November DIY chalk paint workshop. read more

I think I counted like 4 Christmas trees inside here lol all of them fully decorated. With it being December, this shop is currently decked out in countless holiday-themed items. Anything with a tag on it is purchasable, even the ornaments hanging on the Christmas trees. 30% off MSRP of all holiday items according to the storefront sign (no deal end date indicated so I'm assuming the sale is throughout the whole month). If you need to spruce up your holiday decor in your home this place might help you out with that! read more

Not Too Shabby - Antiques Near Me - Folsom, California

Very cute store with lots to explore. They have many unique items that make really good gifts.

I love this store!! Five stars all the way!! The store is on the main section of Sutter Street in Old Folsom. There is a big parking lot on either end of the shopping district. Note: The street itself is closed to car traffic on weekends which makes for nice strolling. The owner of the store is so friendly and kind. They have the FULL selection of Iron Orchid Products (I have spent a ton!) and it's the best place to buy a unique gift. Housewares, baby gifts, home decor.... It's wonderful. read more

Knowledgeable lovely staff. I came in with questions about Annie Sloan products and they were most helpful!

the people here are just as judgmental as when i went there 4 years ago. i was not greeted at all and asked to leave the store

I attended a basic painting class. I learned a great deal! Bobbie provides clear instructions, she's patient and takes the time to answer questions. The hands on experience with the paints and wax was fun. I'm so glad I attended. There are more classes in my future. Thanks Bobbie and Pam. read more

This is one beautiful store with unique decorative items for sale at very reasonable prices. And the staff is very knowledgeable about chalk paint product and techniques. Samples of restored, chalk-painted furniture is gorgeous and some of the best I have seen. The owner is a gem! She is a talented and energetic person, ready to give you tips and honest feedback about your chalk painting experience. read more

I was having a lovely day out with a friend just browsing the nearby shops, stumbled upon this shop as it was open, most were closed down Sutter Street, Lots of cute items, the one thing that stood out the most was the comment made by I assumed the shop owner, she had some items in the back she had painted and as my friend and I reached the back projected out to us, "oh those are wet, if you feel like touching?", I felt like I was a child being told to keep my hand off things, I will never be back here! read more

My wife and I love this store. Home decor. Collectibles. Chalk paint. Boutique clothing. Candles. Gifts. We've purchased a lot here over the years. Staff is kind. Location is great. read more

My go to store for a pick up gift. Love all the candles and mud pie gifts. They even wrap it all up for you to gift right away. Need to explore the whole chalk paint thing. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would... first of all, I came in looking around browsing and was about to make a purchase and then the woman working informed me and a friend the store was closing and I said okay and proceeded to finish with what I was looking at and she stood there and said "you're done you can go" and I said okay there's others in the store... and she responded no they're shopping, and i laughed and said okay. They are still looking around and they locked us out LOL all because I don't look like a typical "folsom" client. Terrible business I feel sorry for the owner if they allow this behavior from employees, which is seems like they do. After we left we went into another store and told them how we had such a terrible shopping experience prior to our visit at the new store and the associate knew right away and said "not too shabby huh?" is this doesn't speak volumes I don't know what does. p.s saw the other "customers" after they left the store, they came out with nothing. WOW just wow. read more

Not Too Shabby - Antiques Near Me - Folsom, California

The only guy working there completely ignored me for 15 minutes waiting at the register. They have no idea how to run a business. Ugly chandeliers you can find at Home Depot for 25% the cost. read more

Really super nice owner - great customer service! Can't wait to try my new Emile paint on my vintage furniture!

I have been working on a table I found at a thrift store for a week now. I was about to give up today, until I remembered that Not Too Shabby carried Annie Sloan Chalk paint. After doing a significant amount of research I decided to drive the whole 2 miles and check it out. Everyone in the store was so helpful. One of the women's husbands happened to be there and helped as well. I walked out with fabulous paint, wax, and more knowledge than I know what to do with! Yes, the paint is super expensive, but from what I hear and from the little fun I had when I got home, it was well worth it. I would recommend this store to anyone needing assistance, ideas, or just a stroll! read more

I was in Folsom this past weekend for lunch with family visiting out of town and I wandered in completely on a whim. I'll be moving into a new apartment next month and have been on Pinterest like a madwoman checking out decor ideas for my 1-bedroom city oasis. This store has the most adorable AND affordable finds for adding a girly touch to any space. We're talking seasonal decorations, candles, chalk paint, glass bowls, door knobs, and inspirational plaques. I walked out with a magnetic board designed to hold jewelry plus a few coordinating magnets. Price: $38 for the board plus about $10 for 2 magnets. Totally reasonable for my Anthropologie-taste on a Tarjay budget. read more

If you go in you need to see their greeting card selection. I gurantee you'll find something perfect. The staff is super friendly and creative, it's fun to go in and look. read more

Such incredibly helpful staff and a wonderful store. Came in as a first time chalk painter with so many questions. They were so helpful in answering my questions and setting me on the right path. Absolutely so proud to support this local store and will definitely be back! Charles, Sacramento California read more

I wandered into Not Too Shabby because I thought it was an antique store. Hmmm...not quite. If you're familiar with the "Paris Apartment" and "Shabby Chic" books you'll recognize the aesthetic at Not Too Shabby. There's also a definite Martha Stewart vibe going on here. The store fills two small rooms and the merchandise is a mix of vintage and reproduction items, including chandeliers, painted furniture and textiles. There are also girly potions and soaps and flowery stuff. (Not my thing at all, but it was tastefully displayed and the fragrances weren't obnoxious.) I noticed a good selection of reproduction glass cabinet handles and knobs in a better variety of colors than I've ever found in a hardware store. I zeroed in on a basket of early 20th century snapshots, but to my dismay they were cut from a photo album. Chopped-up albums lose their narrative and historic value, and in this case the photos were extremely overpriced at $2.50 each. I think this was due to inexperience rather than greed, though. The owner was a sweet, talkative lady who told me she'd brought her two dogs to work because she was worried about leaving them at home in the heat. I give major props to any business that's dog-friendly, so she won some points for this. Overall, Not Too Shabby is a cute little shop. It's not icky-sweet in that porcelain-dolls-and-potpourri way, but it probably isn't a place you should drag your man into. Leave him sitting on a bench outside while you peruse the girly stuff here. read more

This shop not only has great unique gifts but the staff is fantastic!! Pam went out of her way to help find four matching cute Christmas tins to finish a project I really wanted to complete!!! Thank you so much!!! I will be going back! They always have such different and high quality items! Great for finding that gift that will be "special"!! read more

I love little shabby chic antique shops and this one is great! They have cute furniture and accessories, but the best part is that they are the only place to get annie sloan chalk paint. It is very expensive and I was very skeptical! So I tried home depot chalk paint first. It worked good, but only came in black. My girlfriend was painting her built in cabinets in her home and we used the annie sloan and it was sooooo soooo worth it!! It goes on so so easily and looks amazing! The dark wax gives it an antiqued look! It looks like she got all new expensive french cabinets. The gals there know their stuff too!! They will teach you how to use it too. The owner is so sweet! Great shop ladies! read more

This is such a great little shop. You find a wide array of treasures here. Furniture to great gift items, and everything in between. They are constantly changing things around so every time you enter it's a new shop. SO COOL. If you enjoy Shopping Local, or just shopping at all. Check this place out. read more

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint!!!!!!! Woo hoooo!!!!! Just when I thought this shop couldn't get any BETTER... Now the Not Too Shabby Shop carries Annie Slaon Chalk paint AND they offer cool classes on how to paint furniture with it. AMAZING. I was so impressed with this paint that comes from England. It's addicting product! Great customer service, quality product & value is this store's winning mix. read more

I stumbled upon this place while walking around Historic Folsom in search of a restaurant. The name is cute and it drew me in, since I have a strange fascination with the shabby chic home decor look. I met Bobby Eddy, the owner of the shop, and she is very friendly and very passionate about her shop and her work. Her shop is medium-sized and packed with great looking refurbished vintage furniture that she calls Cottage Chic (a subset to Shabby.) She uses lots of whites and blues, some greens and you've also got your pinks. There are corner kitchen cupboards, mismatched nightstands with sky blue crystal knobs, bed frames and charming vintages desks that look dreamy in the office. Eddy, also teaches classes in decoupage and if you have a furniture project that you are working on, she's more than happy to talk to you about your ideas, which I thought was super cool. She helped me put together a vintage picture frame from a box of pictures that I had been carrying around for years. Great little place that sells some sweet treasures. read more

This store is really cute! The lady who owns it is super nice and she makes a lot of her own stuff. She has a bunch of cool holiday stuff and really nice gifts. She was kind enough to sell me some buttons out of her personal stash. read more

Cute store with many fun items. Well laid out. The only thing I found off-putting was the older lady behind the register. I said hello when I entered (I was one of two customers inside), she did not even look up or respond. Perhaps she did not hear me. I perused the store for quite some time, and was happy to discover several items that were nice possibilities for future gifts. However, I was disappointed this lady did not once speak to me, ask if I was looking for anything or to let he know if I had any questions or needed help. She didn't even acknowledge me as I was leaving. Maybe next time will be different.... read more

Holy crap I felt like I just waked into my cousins house. This place is full of French country type furniture and accessories. The owner was very friendly and greeted us right away. Lots of great finds here if you're looking for furniture. read more

Fabulous small business with lovely staff! Incredible selection of home goods!!! You are guaranteed to find the perfect gift even for the most difficult to buy for! I had window shopped here a couple times over the years and I am kicking myself that I never actually entered and purchased anything sooner! Their price point can't be beat and neither can their customer service! This shop is FABULOUS! read more

This antique shabby chic store is my favorite place to shop. The store had a great selection from garden items to pet items. Painted furniture throughout the store. If you don't see something your looking for the store can help. The ladies there are very welcoming and friendly. They sell the Annie Sloan chalk paint and also teach classes had to use it. I would highly recommend visiting this fun store. read more

Love the selection of items. I got a cute Christmas sign there once.

Not too shabby a place. Came for coffee once. It was decent. Love their locations and sandwich options. 1 stop shop. They have a neat outside patio which is really nice if weather permits! read more

One of my favorite gift shops in Folsom. This is where i go if I need to get a b-day or christmas gift for a woman. I've also gotten new baby gifts and house warming gift once. It's not cheap, but there are a lot of price points. One thing they carry I can't live without is the french grapefruit soap. lemon verbena also very good. $7 a bar, but I use it every day and its hard milled or whatever they call it, so it lasts for months in my shower. its my personal endulgence. another plus...its not the mall! read more

This is a beautiful store. I walked in looking to furnish our house with new furniture. There were so many things that I wanted to buy!! Everything looks like they put so much time and love into the restoration of the pieces. I plan to be a regular customer. And did I mention that the owner, Bobbi, was extremely nice?! It was a pleasure to shop there. read more

This is hands down my favorite home decor store in the greater Sacramento area, especially for Christmas deocrations! They had a great collection of vintage holiday decorations including ornaments and adorable pictures with LED lights. I will definately plan on being a regular shopper here especially during the holiday season. They also had a great 10% off sale to boot! read more

I just purchased a wonderful kitchen hutch from Bobby at her shop today - this is my first time shopping for a piece in Folsom and found her shop. It was a breath of fresh air - I was looking for exactly what she had and her personality and passion for her shop shows in every detail! She was very busy but able to make me feel like my purchase was very special to her and we all became a part of each others transactions. It was such a wonderful time - thank you Bobby! And thank you to your brother for providing some brawn and helping with loading our piece. You are truly a wonderful spirit! read more

This shop always inspires me. They carry seasonal decorative pieces as well as some jewelry and chalk paint. Many of the items are quite affordable, and I always pick up some good display ideas when I'm there so I always make sure my phone's charged so I can take a photo and I remember to look up because a lot of the cool stuff is hanging from the ceiling or on the walls. This Christmas a couple of my favorite items were the tiny jewel-colored bottle brush trees and some ivory-colored folding paper trees. read more

They have beautiful furniture,Annie Sloan paint and the people are very helpful and sweet.
