I finally had a chance to venture into the Paul Michael Company to see what awaited me! I was…read morehappily greeted by a few employees as I browsed around the enormous store, which gave an inviting, welcoming atmosphere. I felt like I was in a super-sized Pier 1 wandering through the come-to-life pages of Better Homes & Garden. I admit it was overwhelming as I did not come with a specific agenda. They had many items on sale and I was able to pick up a few small home decor items at reasonable prices. I saw a sign explaining how Paul Michael uses locally harvested wood, reclaimed architectural elements and upcycled materials in Dermott, AR- woohoo for going local! I admired a few gorgeous tables, which exhibited great care and impeccable craftsmanship. If you are tired of shopping at the same big box stores and want to add some quality, carefully crafted items to add to your home, I would recommend checking out Paul Michael Company for some different perspectives. (Don't forget about the Duck Dynasty episode when Korie, Miss Kay & Uncle Si shopped here for Jean Luke and Mary Kate's engagement gifts).

However, it turns out it's mostly old junk or cheap imports at OUTRAGEOUSLY high prices. If you have time to spare and money to burn, you'll probably like Paul Michaels. If you are into antiques or the other stuff you might find there, and aren't stupid, save a wad and try Bonnie and Clydes Trade days or the Canton market or any other local flea market. You'll find more stuff to love at much, much better prices.
