What a cute little gem in the Third Ward. The Home Market was recommended in the Design Sponge…read moreMilwaukee City Guide and so I just knew that I had to check it out. This place can be described as a very expensive upscale flea market. It also reminds me of Anthropologie's home products. If anything, it may be a little bit more pricey than Anthropologie though. Since it is an independent shop, things here are so special and there is something special about purchasing things that you have to go in-store for and cannot be purchased or viewed online. I loved the selection of textiles, the dishes, the apothecary items, and the unique trinkets. While I know that I could certainly not afford to outfit my house with things in here, there were plenty of things that would make thoughtful and unique gifts for friends, or occasional splurges for yourself (there were a few blankets that I LOVED). The style is just my cup of tea- a mixture of vintage and modern. Stop in, and I'm sure you will find at least a few things that you love!

Whether it's an accent piece for the bedroom or bathroom, new linen napkins for the dining table or furniture - there's so much to see. The quality is incredible and the prices are fair. The best thing I found (at least on this visit) are the Albert & Dash rugs! They are wonderfully made in beautiful colors. I cannot get enough of them. I want to fo back for more. This store is a great place to shop for fine things.

It's been a few years since I needed lighting so when I was there today, I was pleased to see the recent renovations. Gone is the tight walkways and all the floor stock. It's much easier to navigate around all the lighting options to find Inspiration. I know if you are looking for something unique, BBC will have it. Extra bonus. Enjoy the free popcorn while perusing.

I can't say we've ever actually purchased any lighting from them, but their vast selection of styles has often inspired us to think differently about what's possible. Even if you're just looking for ideas, it's well worth a visit. Oh, and did I mention they have freshly made, free popcorn?

Let me start by saying their customer service is impeccable. They went out of their way to exchange…read morea table that I received but did not like. They delivered the second one for free and put it together. I had a problem with some of the chairs backs not being symettrical in the pattern and they looked bad. They fixed that as well. My current issue is that the second table has a flaw in it and I emailed them about it and never received a reply. I'm sure they're tired of hearing from me because I have "complained" about the issues, but when you spend $4,000 on a dining room set you expect decent quality!!! They are not responsible for the quality per se, but they are the seller and should make it right with the customer. I never heard back from them about the issue on the table having a "dent" on the side in the wood. I don't expect that they will ever reply to me but I wanted others to know it is important to inspect deliveries of anything before the drivers leave.

So I suggested Dining Room Showcase. What a huge mistake!!! They cashed both of my mother's checks for the table and we still don't have it a month later. I told them we would be willing to take the floor model after a month of waiting. He proceeded to tell me that that model was damaged and had to be sent back. Yeah right AND he told me when the table comes, they don't deliver. It's an extra $149.99. they don't even deliver their own product. Terrible terrible customer service.

Upon first glance, the rugs didn't seem to fit our style, but we couldn't have been more wrong. After talking talking to the owner and telling him what we were looking for and our price range, he pulled four rugs. We liked all of them but one was EXACTLY what we were looking for. The owner was extremely helpful and took the time to tell us about the craftsmanship of the rug we just purchased, proper care instructions, and more. If you're in the market for a rug, I highly recommend Orley Shabahang.

For example, she has a baby doll for kids to play with while parents browse, and she has a bowl of mini candies. She's owned the place for 21 years and worked there before that, and she really cares for everything there. The furniture seemed high quality and really functional, which is increasingly hard to find (and I say that as someone who has been in 20 furniture stores over the last month). For example, there was a cool coat cubby, with hooks on the sides and a mirror on the back. There was a wooden "lazy Suzan" that looked like a chess set. There was a child-sized rocking chair and a small stool with a beautiful design etched into it. The style is more traditional, but if that works for your space, I would recommend this place. Furniture that lasts: a novel concept based on what I've seen lately.
