This was the first shop my hubby and my friend went into as we began our shopping spree on Main St…read more It looked promising with a lovely window display and intriguing items inside. We noticed many animal items, horses, dogs, foxes, etc. on everything from pillows to jewelry. Some of the items were pretty pricey... I mean, $265 for a hand painted pillow is well, full of stuffing! We were greeted by an eccentric older lady, that truth be told, bared a striking resemblance to the Mad Hatter's sister, or perhaps Willy Wonka's female counterpart. Her personality was just as odd. She followed us around the shop dictating rules about photos and touching items, and rambling on and on describing her goods and explaining price points. She even told us, "I'm sorry but I'm weird about advertising my store." You're telling me and that's not all! I was incredibly irritated and put off by her hovering presence and at one point I turned around, with her at my heels, looked at her and expelled a heavy sigh! I was on the verge of telling her to back off when her store bell chimed and she plodded off to haunt another customer. It's a shame the owner was so intrusive and curt, because the store was interesting, mainly lamps, shades and finials with some unique household interiors as well. I don't mean to be throwing "shade", however, her rude manner and abrupt demeanor had me and my companions headed for the door! No sales for you!

The top of the $400 dresser I bought was covered with a runner and on top of the runner was a…read moreselection of several large lamps for sale and several Knick Knack/tchotchke items for sale. Although I looked over the dresser, opened the drawers, etc., I did not move all the lamps and many assorted knick knacks. I then paid for the dresser and made arrangements to pick it up the following day. When I returned to pick it up, there was a VERY LARGE split in the wood, ALL the way across the entire top of the dresser and way too wide to repair by any method. This major damage had been covered by the runner, the lamps and the knick knacks. So . . . Usually, normally, sellers will be transparent about damage, flaws, chips, cracks etc., and then it's up to the buyer to move forward with the purchase or not. Because the damage was so extensive, I did not think the dresser could be transported without breaking completely in two. Because the damage was hidden/concealed, I felt deceived. I pointed this out to the staff, who launched into their "no refunds" spiel before I could even finish my sentence. I was rather abruptly offered to the "opportunity" to leave the dresser (and my $400) behind if I no longer wanted it. Still, I extend Kudos to Twice Is Nice for serving seniors in need!! Thank you to the volunteers who offer their time. Thank you to the folks who donate. If an item is damaged, you don't have to attach flashing lights or a neon sign, but it's not "nice" to cover it up, then pile it high with multiple heavy items making the damage almost impossible to detect until too late to make an informed purchase decision.

Wonderful finds in excellent condition! I always spend too much, but come home with great things!…read more If you make it to Charlottesville, I highly recommend this place look out because Twice is Nice has two stores in the same general vicinity.

I honestly can't say enough good things about Breana and her work through Brave Collaborative…read more She's painted three murals for me now -- two in my home and one outside my office -- and every single one has completely exceeded my expectations. They're bold, colorful, playful, and have this vibrant, feminine energy that makes every space feel so alive and joyful. Working with Breana feels like collaborating with a friend who truly listens and just gets your vision -- and then somehow brings it to life in a way that's even better than you imagined. She's thoughtful, professional, insanely talented, and just a genuinely kind human. Every time someone walks into one of the spaces she's painted for me, they comment on the murals immediately. Her work doesn't just decorate a wall -- it transforms the entire feel of the room. If you're looking for something meaningful, colorful, and uniquely YOU -- Brianna is your girl. I couldn't recommend her more!
