Great selection of home goods, but poorly organized and managed…read more Full disclosure - I tried to go to Bed Bath and Beyond first, not realizing the entire chain had gone out of business, so this was not my first choice for a home decor store. Ended up here while looking for wall shelves and similar storage solutions. It was somewhat difficult for me to find what I was looking for. I kept ending up in the unofficial "storage solutions" section, which included over-the-door racks, drawer organizers, shower caddies, and various cabinet organizers. Figuring there had to be something else, I looked for an employee to ask for help and couldn't find anyone. The store was the size of a Wal-Mart, and the whole time I was there, I only saw two employees - one at a checkout counter and one stocking merchandise. Eventually, I asked the latter for help, and they seemed rather uninterested, like I was distracting them from something else. I usually prefer not being approached or guided by employees, but that's not the same as not being able to find any help when you have a question about a product. I did eventually find wall shelves in the "wall decor" section, which held things like picture frames, clocks, and wall art. That's not a problem, I just wish I was able to get help finding it and not have to just wander through the store lost. The shelves, clocks, and other wall installations were really haphazardly organized, as if they'd just been shoved onto the shelves in any random order. There wasn't a lot of variety in them, so we kind of settled for something mostly because we really didn't want to have to go to another home goods store. The store as a whole is... fine, I guess. But between the disorganization and the difficulties in finding anything (including someone to check you out), I wouldn't go there again.

What a hidden-in-plain-sight hidden gem. I've probably run and walked past this shop dozens of times. This store is seemingly limitless with rooms on rooms and themes on themes. There's so much to explore and it is SO relaxing. I saw MANY cute new gift ideas for friends and family. From a beautiful baking dish specifically for brie cheese at $30 to wonderful jewelry boxes with meaningful quotes, I know where I am headed next time I have a "I really don't know what to get that person" conundrum. The staff member helping me out was amazing and I can't wait to get back for more local gifts by (primarily) local artisans.

They also had a fair amount of jewelry. On our recent visit it appears that their inventory is more heavily skewed toward jewelry. Yes they still have plenty of other options but not like the past from what we observed which limits it's appeal for us. Still is nice to see this eclectic gift shop still in business all of these years.

I'm sorry but I was looking to spend $600 and her attitude caused me to just walk out of the store. God forbid I ask you to help a customer locate a product.

ReHouse takes that problem as well as the ethical repurposing of other houses to use. Whether you need an old sink or some doorhandles, ReHouse has you covered. I've even seen things as large as staircases that were rescued from a demolition just waiting to be brought into a new home. You wouldn't know it from the front but behind the store is a generous parking lot ready for you to fill your car up with new salvage to bring home.

Their social media is incredible, their mid century modern offerings are timeless and beautiful, and the team here is so helpful. They have a huge assortment of bar accessories, couches, hutches, coffee tables, end tables, and SO much more. They are most active on Instagram and have a hilarious presence. They show off what hot items are in the store and prices for each. They even allow order on Instagram and will hold things for limited amounts of time if you see something you really need or want. I loved their old location in the Wedge, but this new location on Clinton is larger and allows for more goodies to be brought in more frequently. As we settle in to work from home life and you're looking to spruce up your space, shop local and head to Abode!
