Such a nice little gem in Glendora. The owner was helpful and patient with my questions. She explained the different chalk brushes and shared her technique. Looking forward to when they host their vendor markets.

I took a Brush Lettering class. We had plenty of time to practice. Michele hosted it and Andrea was our instructor. I recommend this class.

Recently a friend and I took a texture chalk paint workshop with Michele, the owner of Knot Too Shabby. Not only did we learn several useful techniques but we also had a lot of fun! Michele is a wonderful teacher, and has a great sense of humor too, making for a lovely time in class. The shop is adorable with many gorgeous furniture pieces, hand painted and transformed with chalk and milk paint. Tucked in among the furniture pieces are hand-made crafts created by talented artisans. Browsing the shop is interesting, with many eclectic items for sale, all the supplies you need for your own painted projects, and a great place to find a gift! There is also a street fair the first Saturday of the month in front of the shop which we browsed and found some enthusiastic and friendly artisans with unique items for sale. Knot Too Shabby is an enjoyable place to spend some time to find inspiration and supplies to do one of your own projects or to purchase something completed to just take home and enjoy!

Always have a great time with Michelle's classes! She is extremely talented and creative and I have learned so much from her, including many budget-friendly ways to go about it. And she's sweet to boot! I'm excited about putting some of these new learned techniques to use on my newly inspired projects.

The owner is so sweet and helpful. She doesn't pressure or upsell you, but freely shares her knowledge and experience. If you are trying to start a furniture painting project, this is THE store for you. Walk in with questions, walk out with a plan and great quality paint! Will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommend!

I have been shopping at Knot Too Shabby for years and I always find great decorating items and ideas. I have talked with the owner several times and she is very kind, friendly and helpful. This store is in the heart of town and I love supporting their efforts in the community.

I have been purchasing Annie Sloan paint and supplies from Michele at Knot too Shabby and she has been so helpful with all my questions, helping me make decisions about which color to buy etc...AS chalk paint and accessories are not inexpensive but worth it because of the quality. A good paint brush can last a lifetime if taken care of properly and the results are amazing. Thank you Michele for having a local shop that gives great customer service!

As a referral from a friend of mine who attended a class here, I chose to take 3 very large ceramic pots in to see if they could change the color and yet keep the "patina" look. It's a very unique chalk painting process commonly used on furniture where no sanding is required....stems from the UK. I couldn't be happier with the service and attention I got from Michelle who runs the shop. She did an incredible job and even sent me pictures prior to my picking them up. When I returned to get them, she painted them the color I chose, however I wanted them darker. She had no problem with changing the color while I visited one of the local restaurants in that quaint darling town for lunch. When I returned they were ready to go and I couldn't be more pleased with not only Michelle, but the process. They are beautiful. Thank you Michelle. Rhonda Domeno Placentia, CA

Love this shop! I've gotten so much coaching from the owner and her staff. Everyone there is helpful, knowledgeable and is willing to give helpful tips. I especially got great advice from Stephanie there and even got weekend, off hour replies from the owner when I had a deadline to meet with my project. Great store!!

The owner of this store feels that African American patrons money is apparently not as green as white patrons. In 2021 I find it unconscionably that any person would support such an establishment or spend their hard earned dollars there. If you are African American avoid this business at all costs!

This place is awesome and has such cute stuff - IF you are white. If not, they’ll follow you around telling you you can’t afford anything until they get you to leave. A little too much White supremacy for my taste

I'm a hobbyist and I have been to Knot Too Shabby on several occasions. I was frustrated to learn that a friend recently went to this store looking for a specific paint color and a specific paint brush for a project, and was followed around the store by an employee who not-so-subtly told her several times that "Everything here is expensive and high quality" as well as "There may be cheaper options elsewhere." It is 2021. We are in greater Los Angeles. Is a Black woman really not welcome to spend money in your store, which was empty at the time she stopped by? I generally favor small businesses over the big box stores but I'm not able to support a business like this. I won't be back.
