There were specific dimensions to work with and we wanted a painted cabinet with some personality to coordinate with a Kilim patterned rug. Not as easy as we envisioned. Enter Provencal Home & Garden. Lovely furniture and accessory shop featuring a few sale items. Oh look. A dining room buffet that could actually pose as a media cabinet. On Sale. Perfect dimensions. But wait. Incorrect color. Not a problem. I've got a fantastic faux finisher and artist up my sleeve. The staff was more than accommodating and helpful. Provencal Home offers custom furniture, bedding, pillows and accessories in the style mostly dubbed as Country French. Simple, sturdy, attractive items. The cabinet is immediately purchased and delivered to Lakeway. It awaits the magic of that guy up my sleeve. I'll return to post a photo.

I ventured in for the second time after visiting another store a couple of doors down. I had my 17 month old in my arms to avoid any mishaps, although she is very well behaved. However, I'd rather be safe than sorry. After entering the establishment, we were the only customers in there, the two people behind the counter made no attempt to acknowledge us. They, the man and woman, simply looked up and looked back down. I thought maybe they didn't realize I wanted to purchase something. I approached the counter and asked if they sold brackets. The woman looked as if I asked her to please tell me the her thoughts on neurological disorders. The man at least said,"no and you may want to try lowe's." I paused for a moment and looked around, then asked again and explained with a little more detail what exactly I was looking for. Unfortunately, they, the man and women(who remained unresponsive), were no help. I, being raised with manners and civility, said thank you and went on my way. On the way out, I saw a couple of wall shelves, no brackets but an option any sales person with the least bit of interest in helping a potential customer would have pointed out. The store does have lovely items, but I'd rather shop at an establishment that is more welcoming. I hope they do not treat all moms with a toddler this way or Hispanic moms with a toddler. In short, please make sure for future customers you, Provençal Home, come off friendlier and more welcoming not bitter to have to help a customer by answering questions. Not to mention unfriendly towards moms with a toddler in a furniture store, especially Hispanic moms. I truly hope this was not due to my race but to the fact you, the man and woman, are just not very friendly to begin with.

I will definitely be sure to come and speak with one of their interior decorators to assist me in my new homes. Happy yelping folks you must try this place in this little mall, enjoy!

The space is very truly a thrift shop--bit of everything everywhere in the main room, and it's very fun to walk around and look for little treasures! Kevin explained to me that he rearranges his shop pretty often (he cheekily calls the practice "funk shui") to get people's eyes on different items every time they come in. He tends to get his wares from estate sales, auctions, and considers himself a treasure hunter. And I must agree! Lots of treasures in Far Out, and I loved sifting through them. If you make your way in, you'll likely hear from Kevin that he's open to negotiation and bundling items for reasonable deals. He seems just to be genuinely excited to find cool items and give them new homes. And I appreciate that energy a lot. I came in looking, loosely, for some home decor as my husband and I outfit our home after moving back to Texas from Georgia. But nothing felt quite right on the decor side. But I saw some beautiful pieces and walked out of the store with a vintage book I was excited about. So I consider it a successful trip. :) Make a trip over to check out Kevin's treasures. It's worth it!

The beautiful objects are still there, but the shop appears to be quite understaffed... and whatever staff there is is struggling to keep up. I genuinely felt sorry for them. This is an ACE hardware store coupled with a tasteful, high end and carefully curated and presented homeware selection, including tableware, gardening supplies, greeting cards, candies and candles and one of a kind objects for the home. A $2,400 candelabra, a Smeg toaster, an excellent selection of flatware, tablecloths and glassware... pretty pajamas, $90 votive candles... But what to do if you want to know the price of that set of Wedgewood china, or the Rialto flatware? Prices are missing on so so many objects. And you cannot find a staff member... And you only have so much time before you need to meet mom for lunch. Ah well. Many of us are trying to ween ourselves off of online shopping. Retail stores... this is your moment to recoup some ground.

My husband went to the Westlake location today instead of the 29th Street location because it was more convenient and came home and told me his experience was like mine -- the staff was unavailable and somewhat dismissive. They told him there would be a three hour wait for gift wrap. Another customer got very frustrated with the lack of help checking out. Hopefully corporate reads these reviews and uses it as an opportunity to hire different managers and/or train the staff better at this location. This has been a longstanding problem at this location but is NOT a problem at the other Breed & Company locations.

After standing in line to do the exchange, locating the shade and standing in line again to check out, I wasn't able to use the gift card without a manager keying it in. This seems rather archaic but... whatever. So we paged the manager, waited some more, she keyed it in and it showed $0. The cashier said "that's not possible, I did the exchange myself just a few mins ago?" The manager then proceeds to say it takes 5 mins for funds to load. I point out on the receipt that it was 18 mins ago (lots of waiting in line) and now it "takes 30 mins for gift cards to load". I couldn't stand around another 12 mins hoping it would load as I had already left my family waiting in the car for an eternity. So now I have to go back and do this whole thing again just bc their system is flawed. It's a ridiculous waste of time

We picked out a pre lit Christmas tree, two containers of shatter proof ornaments, and a star for our tree. When going through the checkout there were several people working. We waited for the next available cashier. It was a really short wait probably less than five minutes. The cashier was friendly. We paid and we're on our way. We set up our Christmas tree after our Thanksgiving Dinner. My husband removed the tree from the box piece by piece. He spread out the tree limbs so that it would look more full. Once all of the ornaments and the star were put on the tree it looked really good. I recommend going there to check out the holiday decorations as there is a wide variety of items to choose from.

It definitely leans toward the grotesque which makes for an interesting browsing experience. Creepy dolls, haunted masks, odd surrealist art, a lot of funky religious pieces. In regards to art, the prices seemed to be on the higher end although there is quite a bit of variety (a few hundred here, a few thousand there). I mostly focused on the art but if you're interested in smaller things, I'm sure you can find cheaper items. I did question some of the pricing -- there was a small dinosaur painting for over 3K! We were told it came from a children's museum. Seemed a bit steep nonetheless. I personally prefer to dig around small antique shops and score treasures for a low price. However, this place is just fun to browse. It's like a museum of ugly and interesting objects. If you're looking for a unique date idea, you've found it. Parents -- I wore my baby in a carrier and we had my toddler in a small umbrella stroller. Worked out fine. There's enough room to navigate without little hands grabbing super expensive objects (just keep a close eye, obviously). After our visit, I read some of the older negative reviews (10 years ago) where folks with strollers were kicked out and not allowed in. I guess they realized how much that policy can hurt them. Glad to see them wise up and start to accommodate families.
