    I went between a 4 star and a 3 star review. I think what makes it a 3 star is that the prices just were a bit more than I imagined. If you can stomach that then... This place is like heaven for people who like to be organized. They have ideas for storage, containers, bins, space savers etc for every nook and cranny of your place. I ended up walking away with things / ideas for storage that I didn't even think I needed. Rightfully so, this place is super organized and not a thing seemed out of place. It seems as if kitchen and bathroom items are to the left when you walk in, items for your office is in the back, and then on the right side is a mixture of bedroom and closet items. There's a small clearance section as well but it's not that great. Parking lot is huge and its shared. I came on a Sunday midday and expected the store to be busy since there was hardly any parking but inside there were only a handful of people shopping. Accessible parking is available and the doors are motion sensored. The store is stairless. The workers weren't the greatest. Barely a greeting. Was going to ask one a question but it felt like they were making a B-line to the breakroom.

    I purchased a new container and was given someone's returned used container. Yuck!

    Went to do a curbside pick up order for these containers and received one that looks like it's been used with no stickers, scratches and dried up water marks. Unfortunately I live 20 minutes away so have to make another trip down there to exchange a used product for a new product. The store did apologize for the inconvenience but the person that packed the order shouldn't have given out a used product in the first place.

    Accessibility: they have wheelchair accessible parking across from the entrance of this building, also electric vehicle charging spots across from the entrance, and the doors are motion-activated, all of the store and parking lot being on the same ground level, no stairs anywhere. Experience: it looks fancy and very organized inside. The employees were not really that welcoming and I was getting a lot of stares as a young person just walking around looking at organizational things, but they have a lot of cool stuff that is helpful for your home. They have sections of the store labeled "kitchen," "office," etc. The only part I really wasn't a fan of was the prices...yikes. This is definitely not a store for someone who needs to organize but is already struggling financially.

    I'm not gonna lie when I come in here I want one of everything. It makes me want to start in my kitchen get those acrylic bins redo every cabinet including my refrigerator then go to my bedroom and then go to my bathroom. When it comes to perfumes I'm a hoarder and I love to smell good even when I'm sleeping lol ... I have a pretty nice collection and it has began to expand. So I've tried several different displays for my perfume in my bedroom and decided to buy an expandable spice rack in which I'm going to use it as a perfume display. When I put it together I'll definitely post a DYII picture. I found this handy dandy little caddy for my kitchen sink sponge that takes little to no space and the sponge is able to drain. I got a neat little duster that I can just throw in the wash machine when done with it and I got some storage bins. It's that time of the year where I'm trying to re-organize but I want to do it in a tasteful manner. This is the place to buy those things to do whatever it is that you want to do. From fancy shoe racks to something simple to shelves on the walls to decor anything you can possibly think of but their cabinet ideas for storage are endless. And the prices are fairly reasonable. It's comparable to that what you find on Amazon but you got to check it out in person. I have bought several clear acrylic items from here in the past and use them in my bathroom for my make up display and only one of them have cracked. My tip with that is to get some clear tape like milling tape and put it over the crack and it will not crack anymore. It's acrylic they crack. But some of the cheap ones are completely ruined.I think for what you get here is a lot better than what someone would get cheaper elsewhere.

    Another tip: The only time all Elfa systems go on sale is in December (I didn't want to wait that long).

The stuff is pretty expensive and high-end, but if I had a lot of money, I would buy a lot of things! I did buy a little pitcher and it was reasonably priced. I would've loved to have bought some of the blue and white table linens but they were just out of my price range but so very very lovely. I would highly recommend this place especially if you like the colors blue and white as much as I do for your living room decor.

Several beautiful coffee table books they carry are on my bucket list (support small business!) and I couldn't resist the coziest recycled tartan wool blanket last time I popped in. When you need a memorable birthday, wedding or housewarming gift, stop at Mood Indigo. They have on-trend candles, bowls, platters, baskets and serving ware, and the photographs and artwork would certainly impress a hard-to-please recipient who seemingly has everything! This little shop is a perfect place to find unique keepsakes for those vacationing in La Jolla/Bird Rock, too. You'll spend a bit more here but instead of cheap touristy items found elsewhere, you'll have high-quality gifts your friends and family will actually cherish and keep for a lifetime.

There were a few other couples in our session, but it still felt intimate and personal. For $150, we were able to make three creations of anything we wanted during the 1 hour and 30 minute class. We had so much fun the entire time. The studio itself is super cute and clean, which made the experience even better. Pinch is such a perfect way to introduce yourself, your partner, or your friends to pottery. If you're new, they teach you the basics and guide you through everything if you need help. They also have a ton of different glaze colors to choose from, which I loved. Definitely will be coming back again!

There is an ABM Parking lot right across the street from the East Curb line, $10 for 12hrs of parking, on a Saturday Night that is great for downtown. The staff here was Wyathe and Shelby. They were very good with teaching our group the ways to produce beautiful pottery. The class is $90/person and that includes the instructional 45mins class plus 1 pottery item. If you want to add more items, it's $10/additional item. With the time I had left I opted to do 1 additional item. This allowed me to form and create another small bowl to complete a set of 2. I plan to use them for individual rice and meat dishes at work lunch. Wonderful party, we were allowed to bring light Hor d'oevres and juices and water for the group. Nice time and I highly recommend.
