This is hands down my favorite home store. I could (and do) spend hours in this store because there…read moreis so much to look through and the items are all unique, either handmade or vintage. It's one of those stores where you can walk away with a neat or charming piece of furniture, wall decor or gift and you never know what you'll find. There's something so satisfying about this kind of shopping. I often come here without any specific piece or need in mind, but I always walk out with something that is perfect for my home ... The staff is so friendly and you can tell they love working there and are proud of their artists and vendors. Since there are no shopping carts/baskets, they can hold your items for you at the front when you're ready to check out. I highly recommend signing up for their newsletter so you can keep up with their sidewalk sale dates or other fun events. I came unknowingly on a Valentine's week event and sipped on a free mimosa as I shopped - how perfect is that?!!

It looked nice when we picked it up, but about 5 weeks later the paint started to peel up all over which indicates she skipped the spray prep to prevent such an occurrence. We know this as Melissa had explained all the steps and products she would be using in the refinishing process. Our end table is a now mess. We can not recommend Status Home Design for any refinishing needs. Paul and April Reed Hamilton Mill We have a correction.

CUE THE BOLLYWOOD TRACK!…read more I was drawn to this store as I was leaving another store. It had two very large lions sitting just outside of the front door so my friend and I went inside. This store is all about big bold pieces that make a statement. It is the type of store one would visit if decorating an estate. Some of the items are rather tasteful while others will remind you of Bollywood or Vegas. Many of the pieces remind me of Middle Eastern Decor and will set you back a penny. They had a full sized butler with tray for $800. A simple chest with three drawers will set you back approximately $1700 and prices go up from there. This store also holds auctions so that you can bid on various items for sale. The good news: looking is free!

Our friend took us here to help him select some furniture to renovate his place. I guess we really…read moredidn't know what we were walking into. The majority of the items are quite eccentric and remind you of an 80s tv show or movie. I'm not saying it's bad! Everyone has different tastes and there are a few pieces which would add some variety to your house for sure. The furniture is quite expensive - they do have auctions, but you would still end up investing a lot. The paintings run around $100-$250 plus in the auctions - there were mostly oil paintings available. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find something for our mate, but it was a fun visit and a totally different experience.

Some of the pricing is on the higher side of "thrift stores" (think $30+ for a t-shirt and $40 for watches), but everything is curated beautifully and it's a great place to explore and find unique gifts.
