When I sold my house, I researched stagers because I was looking for someone who could bring my…read morehome to life. I found Show House Home Staging online and knew that Nancy Safran was the person I wanted before I even met her. Once we met, I knew that my house was in excellent hands. Nancy melded my furnishings and accessories with pieces from her art and furniture collections, and the result was incredible. What she chose was perfect for my house and perfect for go-to-market. I worked so hard to prepare my home for sale, and Nancy brought it over the finish line. The house sold the first Open House and sold for well over our asking price. Nancy was a bright shining light in the whole process of selling. Anyone who been through putting their house on the market knows that it can be incredibly stressful. Nancy was a soothing, calming presence in the center of the storm. I highly recommend Nancy and her company Show House Home Staging.

I am still shocked by the rude comments and inappropriate words and sentences that came out of…read moreNancy's visit at my house. We are looking for staging, and got 4 quotes. She ended up being twice as expensive as everyone else too. I really don't understand how she does business this way. And, she charged us $300 for coming to insult us.

Cool home goods spot, it's more about the details to add to your home decor than big items, like…read morefurniture-- think vases, stationary, book ends, artsy kitchen appliances, office accessories. The kind of items that make a space yours. Pricing varies -- a 2-D vase I liked was over $100. A shell-engraved butter knife was around $8. Great for gifts. Fun for browsing. Staff checked in, but I didn't feel pressured to buy. Parking isn't easy, but it's close to the MGH red line.

The perfect spot for finding a slightly unusual gift that just may make you a family favorite. The…read moreowner, Barbara, finds all kinds of prints which she slips into mats and frames, resulting in some charming collectibles for your walls. She has them well organized so if you are searching for something related to Fish, Fashion or Fall River, you can find it easily. Just look under F. It's really Fun searching for topics that are meaningful for you or a Family member. Many of the prints are related to Boston and its various neighborhoods. With some priced at $25, you can find a fun souvenir. You'll see men with mutton chops, women in hoop skirts, old newspaper articles and views of the city from long ago. You'll also find a wide assortment of maps and some old books. None of this is very valuable and many of the prints are taken directly from the pages of books, but you'll be happy with your little treat. And if you buy one for a gift, the recipient will be happy, too, unless they were hoping for a Red Sox jersey, a box of salt water taffy or some Sam Adams coasters.

I could spend all day in Eugene Galleries. This isn't just an art gallery, this is history. There…read moreis so much to see in this store, thus far I've only been twice but I have every intention on becoming a regular. Likely I'll need to go back several more times before I can actually say I've seen the entire gallery, by then I'm sure Barbara (the owner) will have made many more purchases. Anyway, the gallery isn't as big as I'm certain my review has made it sound, but there's a lot of art! Art on the walls, on shelves, in boxes, drawers...but at the same time its well organized and not cluttered. I also really love the diversity. There's not just one theme going on here...different era's, genres, styles. It really is a gem on Charles St.

Hmmmm, I thought high-end shopping might be different than Ikea. where I wander around aimlessly…read morefor entire afternoons stuck in indecision. LR products are wonderful and infinitely customizable, and have a build quality that is assuring (not bullet-proof, indestructible). Thought I could tap their design minds to help me make a decision. I think what I wanted was a collaboration and to leave feeling inspired. I came prepared, having digital photos and a layout of my existing stuff. I think the sales person did a good job of steering me clear of things that clearly wouldn't work (dimensions, scale) and did open my mind to more layout alternatives. That's why its a three star. But in deciding what I wanted I waffled a lot because there are many choices. I would have appreciated is something more directive, assertive and clear, to say, "I see what things you like, and I think it would be awesome if you went with this...", instead of "... yes, this is one of many alternatives you could pick..." At the end of the day, if I'm spending the cash, I want awesome, not just OK. Was looking for bedroom furniture, dining table, chairs and maybe a coffee table. Left with buying the first two (Eaton table and Everywhere caseware) to take advantage of their 20% off sale, but was uninspired to buy the rest. Lead time is a good 16 weeks since Europe takes most of the summer off. I guess if I'm going to live with this furniture for a lifetime, 16 weeks isn't terrible. Will update when it arrives. Might go back and see a different sales person. Maybe the interaction will be different if they know I'm a customer.

Working with Rob at Goosefish Press for our wedding invitations was one of the best decisions we…read moremade throughout our entire wedding planning process. After tiredly looking online for the perfect invitations on sites like minted.com I realized it was not going to cut it for what I needed. I emailed Rob and within an hour he had responded back. My husband and I went to his studio in the South End and looked over designs he did and knew we wanted to work with him. Throughout the creative process, Rob was extremely responsive and was able to completely customize our invitation, information card, and rsvp card to exactly what we wanted. If I wanted the letters in a word capitalized, or spacing of a graphic changed, he would send the edit quickly for us to view. When we got our invitations off the press, we were so happy. The letter press invitations were absolutely beautiful and elegant. We received so many compliments on them after sending them out. The price was very reasonable and worth every penny. The entire process from when we emailed him to when we picked up the invitations took 6 1/2 weeks. I would absolutely recommend Goosefish Press to anyone looking to get custom invitations done.

Planning a wedding is stressful. Like, really, really stressful. Rob helped ease the stress and talked us through each step of the process. He helped us with our Save the Dates, invitations, and all the signing (table numbers, name cards, programs, cocktail signs, etc), which made everything super cohesive. He was always incrediblely responsive (usually replied within a few hours!!!), and was so creative, and was always kind even when we sent 500 obnoxnious emails switching up the design. We had so many compliments on the letterpress and design work, and honestly, our stuff was absolutely awesome. I can't help but brag about it, because everything turned out soooooo good. As others have mentioned, you get to keep the plates that the invitations are made from, which make a really cool memento. My only advice is to make an appointment to meet with Rob- he's busy being awesome!
