“A great find in San Rafael! I was visiting the local area for the sixth time in 16 months from the east coast and I finally took time to visit this incredible store that practically doubles as a sanctuary for many belief systems. So much to choose from in a range from crystals to large lawn ornaments. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable! You can have items you find shipped to your home if you don't want to carry it home with you. What a great local gem for those in Marin county!”

“Roja Rugs provided a custom rug for a design project requiring a specific shape and tailored specifications to suit the architecture and layout of the living room. They were exceptionally collaborative, bringing multiple rug options in different sizes directly to the client’s living room, allowing us to evaluate scale, proportion, light, color, and texture in the space which was essential to the final selection. They were also highly accommodating with all requests and adjustments along the way, approaching each detail with flexibility and a practical, problem-solving mindset. The final piece was beautifully executed and integrated seamlessly into the overall design. The clients were thrilled with the result and the transformation it brought to the space. Following installation, they also returned as needed to address and refine minor details, handling everything with professionalism and care. Max was especially helpful throughout the process and consistently professional, responsive, and easy to work with. I would gladly work with them again on future high-end residential projects!”

“I had such a wonderful experience with The Potting Shed! I called from across the country hoping to send something special to a close friend for her birthday on very short notice, and Emily could not have been sweeter or more helpful. She worked with me to customize a beautiful succulent arrangement, made sure it felt personal and special, filled out a greeting card with my personalized message and even arranged for it to be delivered that day. The level of care and thoughtfulness Emily put into everything meant so much to me. The arrangement was absolutely beautiful and exactly what I had hoped for. I’m so grateful I found this lovely local shop and would highly recommend them!”

“Very cute store first off! My mom and I love cost plus world market and when ever we travel we always check them out! This one had a lot of good items and we ended up spending over $300 however the customer service from our check out girl was not kind at all. Pia was very rude and spoke to us very bluntly and disrespectful tone. She also over charged my mom charging her for something twice and when she ask my mom if she wanted a bag she just said “do you want a bag” and not a kind way, like you should when you are in customer service. When she was bagging my items she was just throwing them in the bag. I had candles and fragile items and she was very rough with them. Other than that the store was great!”

“Friendly, helpful staff and high-quality products. I came in fairly settled on a color, but Michael in the color/design department nudged me to consider going darker than I'd planned. He also went out of his way later to ensure I was aware (I wasn't) they have a matte paint that works in bathrooms now. So glad to have his advice, with it my project turned out exactly as I wanted.”

“Support this local lighting shop! Alia and Ian are phenomenal people with a great eye and a beautiful, thoughtfully curated selection of lighting. Being able to see fixtures in person makes all the difference, and their showroom lets you compare options and visualize what will work best for your space. Working with them has been so easy. They genuinely want their customers to be happy, their communication is prompt and considerate of your timelines, and they even try to group shipments together whenever possible to keep shipping free or as affordable as they can. It’s rare to find this level of customer service these days. Thank you, Lunaria West!”

“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.”

“We have been working with Ruth for the past 10 months on our last remodel. She has given us excellent direction on layouts, wallpaper, paint, tile, design features, upholstery, furniture products, lamps, etc. She has driven from Marin County to Contra Costa County numerous times for on-site meetings. She is always available to answer our questions and to give advice. My husband and I have different opinions on what we like in almost everything and Ruth has smoothly guided us through the process of selecting comfortable colors all over our house. The last time that we did any redecorating/remodeling was in 2005. She has seamlessly guided us through our 2026 project. Ruth is expensive. However, we have had the highest quality service in everything. I would recommend hiring Ruth for small or large projects. She is worth every penny!! P.S. Will post other features when the remodel is completed sometime this spring.”

“I was shopping for a mirror with my husband. Jan was so incredibly helpful and kind. We found the perfect hollwood style mirror with Jan’s help. She went way above and way beyond her job duties and I don’t think she will ever understand how much her help meant to me. Jan, I can’t thank you enough for your kindness and good heart. I know you’re management, but I hope someone higher up in the company sees this. Jan embodies exceptional customer service and is an all around good human being. She is the reason we will continue to always shop at homegoods!”
