“Well first of all this is the best WM I've been to, it's obvious why! WINE BAR in store with up to 3 FREE tastings!!!!! Not only that they carry some of my go to faves from Amador County! Sobon & Shenandoah and Michael David 6th Sense Syrah from Lodi! Amongst many others, and the prices are fair and competitive with my Sonoma County staple #BottleBarn. Re-navigating Marin and making new discoveries”
“My fiancé and I LOVED visiting the store in San Rafael! We live in SF and frequently look online, but this was the first time we visited a store in-person. I was like a kid in a candy shop - it was beautiful and so well designed! I want to give a special shoutout to Cedric for going above and beyond! He gave us a proper tour of the store, provided excellent advice for designing our new apartment, and helped us purchase two more kitchen chairs that matched our other Scandinavian Designs chairs at home. Once they arrived during the week, he really went out of his way to help us accept delivery. Cedric is the best - he made our trip so memorable and because of him, we will keep coming back! Thank you Cedric!!”

529 3rd St, San Rafael“I had driven by Routes Gallery many times and always wondered what it was; today I was waiting for someone shopping next door at United so I decided to check it out. Routes has such a spacious and peaceful outdoor area with an assortment of plants and Buddhist and Hindu sculptures. Step inside and be immersed in more art and culture. There were Tibetan prayer flags, sage, bamboo, crystals, beads, and more. The singing bowls caught my attention. The owner of Routes was at the gallery; he was so friendly and I appreciated that he took time to talk to me and share his knowledge of the different bowls (they had metal and crystal). While I didn't buy anything on this visit to Routes, I enjoyed browsing the gallery and taking in the energy. I'll definitely be back!”
“Very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable proprietor. Bought a few family heirlooms and referred me with some great advice to where to take the rest that would not sell for very much at her shop. Would highly recommend!”

400 Gate 5 Rd, Sausalito“After a delightful visit to their store in the Mission District, my friends and I decided to come see their Sausalito studio shop as well to see if we'd find other items to our liking. At the other shop we bought 2 dessert bowls from the Rim line. The Sausalito location is sizeable. Showrooms are smaller than Mission location, but still a lot of stock to browse through. The parking lot outside is on unfinished ground -- so beware of large puddles and uneven flooring. Once inside, they offer all their usual collections AND also a whole wall of "factory seconds". These are items that are good to use, but may have some minor defects. They were also come at a discounted price! We were there on Thurs, Dec 28 and it was very busy. Lots of people coming in and out and not much room to move around. It was good that they had about 2 staff at the cashier, and 2 other younger staff milling about to help with any questions. Many of them were masked which I also appreciated during this season of high covid/flu/cold transmission! They also had a small cart by the cashier that was for items you want to buy -- so you can put down safely while continuing to browse. I found a couple of beautiful matte side platters in Chile from the factory seconds wall, and also from the regular section: 2 plates from the Rim line to go with the dessert bowls I had already purchased the week before. As with previous experience, I told the staff here that I was flying with these items and so they wrapped them up with thick packing paper, and they made it safely home. I love how they all look fantastic together, and also look very "Heath"! I've used them a couple of times thus far. I've be hand-washing these items carefully. Will see how they last!”
“Botanicalife is located a few steps from the Lark Theatre in downtown Larkspur. The store is filled with interesting books, beautiful housewares, handmade soups, crystals, art, locally crafted jewelry, assortment of bulk teas, unique houseplants and many handcrafted items created by local artist. Visiting the store is a delightful way to spend time and shop for gifts or something special for yourself while spending an afternoon in Larkspur. An added bonus is delightful, complimentary gift wrap.”

1201 Bridgeway, Sausalito“Great store with cool stuff, friendly staff, and excellent customer service. Tellason dealer, carries their jeans, coats, hats, etc. They didn't have the exact item/size I wanted so they ordered it for me, and they had it in stock by that very same afternoon, unreal!”
“What a wonderful little bodega! They have so many products to cook authentic Spanish meals - complete with cooking and serving wear you'd find in most bars and restaurants across Spain. I didn't have time to browse the wine selection but they seemed to have a great variety. It's also a great store for to put together a white elephant gift basket...I'll be back soon!”

Wow, I told them being in their store made me happy and it's true.”

703 Grant Ave, Novato“The customer service here is fantastic. Both the color expert and general employees were so incredibly helpful and patient with helping me find the right color scheme for my open floor plan, as well as which paint types to purchase and their recommendations for what supplies were realistically needed. The prices seem very reasonable, and especially feel like you're getting a great value when they offer such thorough support with your purchase.”
“I love that they carry Tuberose when in season. Today I purchased a little grouping and it was wrapped in pretty paper. I asked the gentleman what I can do to make them behave; because the last two times they just didn't ever open, and they died a bit quick. I was almost embarrassed when he came out with a ridiculous amount of extra stalks. See photo of the gloriousness. The house smells like heaven.”

“Ruth did a small decorating project for our weekend house and we were so pleased with her professionalism, artistry, and sensitivity to cost that we asked her to oversee a complete decorating remodel of our Tiburon home. We could not be more pleased with her work. She is a pleasure to work with. She is very talented. She designed key elements of our project and also designed much of the furniture. Her taste is impeccable and she listened to us to understand our tastes and preferences. She was always prompt and responsive. She stands behind her work and if there is the slightest problem, even if it is not her "fault", she fixes it immediately. She is fun to work with. I can't think of enough superlatives.”
“The handmade wooden bowl we got from Nicasio Woodworks is one of our favorite things in the house! So beautifully crafted, and it makes it even better knowing we’re supporting a small business. Would definitely recommend checking out their pieces!”

They restored, repaired and installed a large chandelier I inherited from my mother and it looks better that I've ever seen it!Not only are they passionate about their work but they also went to extra care and effort to make sure that the light was installed exactly in the position I wanted despite it being a lot more effort. The team is incredibly friendly, skilled and so knowledgable about their craft. I'm so pleased with their work and will be referring anyone I know their way!”

1750 Redwood Hwy, Corte Madera“I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and food at this restaurant. Considering RH showroom is a fail for me. The hamburger was cooked perfectly and very fresh ingredients. The seating is super comfortable and view to the outside patio is so pretty. Very clean and service was wonderful. My only complaint was it was a little noisy because of all the glass but frankly I prefer the light and design and noise level was tolerable.”

“Lunaria is where we send all of our clients for fixtures. Alia and Ian have an incredible selection of unique lighting. One thing I don't find in many showrooms is someone who understands lighting and how the piece will look and function in various spaces. Ian and Alia both understand this very well and give great advice on what to purchase.”
“What a great place! I just wish I could give it more stars. The owner, Patty, knows more about bedding than anyone! She is super friendly and helpful. Run away as fast as you can from chain stores like Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware. This is where you can get the real deal”

770 Second St, San Rafael“Spent $700+ on two 5-gallon pails of paint and needed more so I called and could not get them to find the original order despite the fact that I had ordered by phone. Spent another $700+ four days later (am I just old, or is $70/gallon a lot of dough for paint?), same paint, and when I called to get the invoice for the first order, was told it was impossible to find invoice by phone number or name. What the H.”
“I had to get my hair done and took a chance. I am so glad that I did!! Cindy did highlights and lowlights and totally transformed my look. She was really thoughtful and took the time to go through all my options--gray coverage was a concern! She did a beautiful job. I cannot recommend her more highly.”
