I have pointed out they have a faulty register, but the cashier IGNORED it and just said "keep swiping". I asked for the store manager, and her reply was "he's over there" as if I was going to meet him. Eventually, I was able to talk to him about the problem, but he didn't seem to be concerned. Luckily I have backup cards and my PAINFUL transaction was finally able to go through. All that for a couple of dollars. What a joke!

Jilted Sparks was the only business that wasn't trying to price gouge me, and quoted a very fair price. I needed transportation to/from my place, and Mandi was able to accommodate that in the quote. She kept in contact with me every step of the way, and provided me many photos to make sure I was happy with the final color. There were a few touch ups last minute that needed extra time to dry, so she advised me to just let the table sit for a couple days before using it. Now the table is a very close match to its original condition. All in all, very satisfied with the result and cost of the project, and would gladly work with Mandi again for any similar projects.

I believe most of their rugs are Middle Eastern, including Persian rugs and Turkish rugs with a huge variety in color, pattern, style, and size. It is a treasure to have such a place owned by such warm people in the heart of Texas! I called before I made the trek from Austin to San Marcos and I'm glad I did, because they have recently moved. The address listed here on Yelp and on their website is incorrect, but the phone number listed on the website is correct, so I recommend calling first. It is still near San Marcos and not far from Austin. Here is a link to their website where the phone number is listed: http://tribalorientaltextiles.com/aboutus.htm I was greeted with warm tea (it is currently January) by Nabil and his wife and daughter when I arrived. They run the business out of their quaint and charming home on the outskirts of San Marcos. I described to them the style and size I was looking for and told them my budget and they pulled beautiful rug after beautiful rug until I selected a beautiful Kilim. I absolutely love my new rug and feel I got it for a fair and affordable price. I highly recommend Tribal Oriental Textiles if you are looking for something high quality, handmade, and one of a kind.

My girlfriend and I ended our long search for the perfect rug here, where we found a vibrant hand-dyed Kilim that is now the centerpiece of our living room. The showroom is a little out of the way, as the owner Nabil lives on a ranch with his collection of rugs and Arabian horses. However, the rugs here are well worth the drive, and the prices are probably better than you will find anywhere unless you travel to the tribal regions yourself. Nabil treated us with genuine warmth and hospitality, which we are reminded of each time we walk into our living room. If you are in the market for a tribal rug, this is the place to go.

After moving into a new house this past summer, I had the task of furnishing and decorating it. I…read morehad read a few articles about feng shui online and had used it for my previous place of residence, but I felt that some things just weren't right. It was time for some professional help. Looking online, I contacted a few people via email, but Belinda was the only one available in my time frame. I had a free phone call with her in which we discussed my new house, who would be living there, and other details. She came up with a plan to visit my house, do a clearing ceremony, and visit my house again once I had finished making the changes. After discussing the plan with my parents, they decided that the current package was too expensive so I told Belinda and she cut down on package options. After discussing it with my parents for a while, we settled on a package with an in person visit and a phone call followup. I figured I could easily do a clearing ceremony myself: there were no previous residents so I didn't fear any bad energy lingering there. I emailed Belinda a copy of my floor plan and set an appointment for Wednesday at 11am. Belinda arrived on time and we talked about the house and my goals in life. She took a directional reading with a compass and went around the house. I took notes as we walked around. She gave suggestions based on the layout of the house. These suggestions included placement of artwork in certain areas, rugs on floors (I never used rugs before this), room color schemes, room uses, and feng shui items. Some notable suggestions I received was to move my office to the first floor because there was more energy down there, put a blue rug under my dining room table because it was next to the living room to separate it, a pink color scheme for the master bedroom, and a large tapestry in the living room. (Everyone's suggestions will differ based on their place) Belinda explained that the suggestions were based on the direction my house faced as well as other factors. She made some notes on the house layout for me to keep and suggested some places to buy furniture (like At Home and Amazon). Places that didn't break the bank were also suggested. She didn't make any radical changes to my home layout. We needed to fully furnish the place so most of the house was empty. I did my shopping at IKEA, Wayfair.com, At Home, Society 6 (for artwork, cheaper than art.com) and amazon. Got my couch at Sams club though. I framed my pictures with picture frames from IKEA. For my bed I got a piece of plywood from Home Depot and screwed it on for a solid headboard. When it came time for the phone consultation on how my new home was doing, I emailed photos of each of the rooms as well as a video walk through (I hosted them on dropbox.com). Belinda saw my photos and said I did well with the decorating, and made a few minor adjustments on certain areas. So far the results have been great. I can move through my house with ease and I feel that the energy flows nicely. My garage doesn't feel cluttered as everything is to the sides. I sleep well at night and get things done in my office as I can see the window and living room with my back against the wall. My parents (they visit a lot) like the layout and pictures. So far my career and life have been going well with some changes here and there. I'm still working on clearing the clutter from my tables (sign that I have too many things to do at once, but I'm working on that). Overall I feel that my home looks and feels great. Belinda was amazing and easy to work with. She listened to me and was willing to use different solutions to reach an objective if one wasn't available. If you want to design your home/office with feng shui principles, look no further.

The challenge was to make my multi-function room a nice place for sewing, storage, and my home gym. And, I wanted a relaxing place to read, too. You wouldn't think that's all possible in one room, but Kathy had a vision for transforming it, and we did! Now, it's my favorite room in the house. Working with Kathy was very easy and everything went according to our timeline. After she provided the initial design, I hired a carpenter to build out the storage/desk area. Then, Kathy provided furniture and decor options for me to choose from for the room. She helped me tame the clutter, and made it all look amazing. She delivered on everything she promised, and I am so happy with the result! This could have taken me years to do on my own, but with Kathy it only took a few months. It's been so worth it and I can't recommend her enough.

Kathy was able to do it all in a day. There's no better feeling than actually being able to walk into your closet without having clothes in mounds covering the floor and having everything organized by color and category. I wished I had watched her fold clothes because her technique is amazing and I'm not sure I can fully replicate it. Kathy also spent time searching online for storage solutions and being able to utilize her trade discount to purchase some of the items was so nice. I really appreciated her friendly communication and professionalism. I highly recommend working with Kathy if you're looking to get your space organized, and she also offers interior design services -- she has a great eye for home decor and aesthetics!
