I was looking for a place to help me with sewing a pattern. It has been years since I sewed…read moresomething from a pattern and was DEFINATELY rusty. When I searched I found this location in Glastonbury, I had only know Southington until I googled, well I can not say enough good things about the staff there. From the moment you walk in everyone is pleasant and happy to be there. I was very fortunate because it was Wednesday Maria was there to help me fumble my way through things. She even went above and beyond by 1) staying past her scheduled time & 2) when she really needed to go she made a little sample for me to follow with written instructions. I did not get the gentleman's name that was there but he was wonderful also. I am looking forward to the winter months for some of their classes as they do quilting classes and that is always something I've wanted to learn. So make sure to check out their website and classes.

We just brought home two reupholstered dining chairs and four chair cushions for our four new…read moredining chairs. We used different fabrics for the two sets of chairs, old and new. We worked with Marsha, one of Imperial's designers, to choose fabric to complement our kitchen pieces and vision for (hopeful) renovations when the time is right. Marsha worked patiently and cheerfully with us, even as I changed my mind after putting a down payment on the work. I didn't expect her to have us back in for another consult, but she did, saying she didn't want us to just live with our choice, but to love it! I am so thankful for her "going the extra mile," as one of the fabrics she suggested ended up being lovely and perfect! And the finished product is amazing, with impeccable craftsmanship (I saw another reviewer used this very apt term, and had to repeat it!). This is the second job we have had done at Imperial. You can be sure you will receive the best of customer service and finished product! Joe and his team all go the extra mile to provide courteous, generous, and outstanding customer service and work. Thank you, Imperial team! :)

I purchased a Lillian August sofa at a local thrift store and wanted to have a little fun with…read morere-upholstery. I asked the a lot of people I know and at work for recommendations and came up empty. So I searched online, came up to a great yelp review on Imperial Decorating. I decided I'd give it a try although I had an appointment for an estimate with another upholstery shop. After several emails correspondences, I finally drove to meet with Joe. Upon entry, I was greeted with warmth. My consultation with Joe was so great, I canceled my other appointment immediately. Fast forward to a few short weeks, my beautiful green sofa was delivered and I fell in love with it. Joe was meticulous about everything...the fabric selection, the nailheads and the cushions' firmness for my petite frame. Everything! I love that Joe was respectful of my budget. Lastly, I was beyond pleased with the delivery. I simply loved my experience with the team at imperial decorating and I would recommend them to anyone.

Staff are extremely helpful and circulating. I was camped out by the sculpting mediums for quite…read moresome time and two or three different people came to make sure I didn't have any questions! They have a variety of moleskin notebooks... but not exactly what I was looking for today. I talked to a lady at the front desk and ended up going with a hardcover A4 extended Leuchtturm1917 notebook. They have testers and I wandered around trying out different pens to make sure that nothing bled through the pages. I generally get one of these notebooks and it becomes my baby for a good year or so... and anyway I believe that it is going to work well. (I have been Moleskin-loyal for a few years now but the paper quality seems similar and thus I am feeling confident). I come here from time to time for XXL canvases, acrylic paints, and to get supplies for my fountain pens. I always seem to spend a couple hours here... whether I intend to or not! They have information about local art classes pinned right to the front door and for anyone who has leveled-up from (or is unable to find what they need at) Michaels, this is a wonderful place with fair prices! They often seem to have some kind of sale going on. I have a membership or loyalty card and I have no idea how much it saves me (or what the exact plan does) but they offered to set me up a good 5-10 visits ago and then continue to look up my account by my last name.

There are a lot of samples of work decorating the store. There's even a large table on one side with "Open Table Time" to work on projects. The yarn is higher quality, with all different colors, textures, fibers... It is perfect for so many projects, time allowing! There are also a lot of kits (crochet your own dog, anyone?) for knitting, crochet, and wool. I wish I could describe it more, but seeing is involved so much in truly appreciating how beautiful everything is. This shop is for anyone who loves their fiber arts.

The owner Susanne is truly an enthusiastic knitter and this shop cannot be beat for samples of knitting! If you love to see a finished garment in the yarn you are considering, this is the place! I've never seen a shop that produces a full size sample per month! Amazing! Also this shop is extremely well organized! I am somewhat biased as I did teach crochet there and loved every minute of teaching at Knit & Pearls. Ample parking and it's next to Luke's Donut OMG super hot coffee and delish donut holes so beware. Watch for lively yarn events and trunk shows- you are sure to make wonderful fiber friends here.

I recently moved to the West Hartford area and needed a lot of fabric for new home projects. I had…read morebeen going to Ehrlich Decorating & Upholstery in Hartford and was beyond pleased with their selection; their customer service was also top notch. But there was a specific fabric I couldn't find at Ehrlich's so I had to go looking for another source. Mila had MUCH more fabric on hand. They also have a lot of fabric you can order - about the same amount as Ehrlich's, but different kinds. After spending months (literally) trying to find a specific fabric at Ehrlich's, Jo Anne's, etc, I found it in 15 minutes at Mila. The only downside to Mila is that the owner (I presume) lacks social grace and customer service skills. I found him to be pushy and incredibly condescending (and not just to me). I also had the distinct feeling he was rushing me and trying to avoid having to place a custom order. He's the type, you know, who is always right and you're an idiot. I hate those types! I would have given this 5 stars if it weren't for the owner. If you're looking for a robust alternative to your usual fabric/upholstery place, try Mila, but try to work with one of the women. Hopefully they won't roll their eyes at you...

He came from a time I remember when people relied on the expertise of the owner who knew their business before the mass market stores. He is a know-it-all because he does! Try to find anyone at Joanns who knows anything about home dec. I have been a seamstress for 40 years and there has never been a time that he steered me wrong or didn't know the answer to my dilemma. He may not be smooth but I know that he is doing his best for every customer. If you want the right fabric for the right job and want it done right. You can count on Milas. The ladies he has there are not just clerks they all have extensive experience and are very helpful.
