“Agatha did an incredible job restoring and preserving my grandmother's cross-stitches. Over 30+ years, they had gotten damaged from dust and sunlight exposure. She helped us carefully remove them from their frames, advised us on how to clean them, helped us select new frames and mats (she has a wide selection of samples in store) and then remounted and framed them in a timely and meticulous manner. We enjoyed our time working with her and felt comfortable entrusting her with our family heirlooms because of her expertise and great customer service. Will definitely be back!”

1207 Butterfield Frontage Rd, Downers Grove“We were able to find the most beautiful pieces at this store and had a phenomenal experience with the help of Judy. She is knowledgeable and wonderful at what she does.”
“Carolyn is a joy to work with. She helped us update our home so that it's comfortable for us, yet light and fresh for eventual resale. Carolyn listened carefully to all of our ideas and offered many options that we hadn't even considered. Her thoughtful guidance helped us with both major and minor updates to our home. She recommended many sources for materials and for tradesmen that she has vetted for her clients. Carolyn is low key and is a wealth of knowledge and experience. She really takes each of her client's needs and interests to heart. Her fees are quite reasonable and she saved us money in many areas with her expert advice. If you're looking for a first-rate experience, Carolyn is the one!”
“Great place to buy furniture. The quality is excellent. The associates are always anxious to help you and guide you to what you were looking for. Delivery was great And the guys to put her furniture together did a great job. Will definitely buy more contemporary furniture there in the future.”
“We cannot say enough about how pleased we are with the work done by Tupelo Design. We had our kitchen cabinets and island painted and the end result is beautiful. The cabinets look brand new and the change has completely modernized our kitchen. We are extremely pleased with the color match that we requested for the island. The team was fantastic and met every deadline and they communicated thoroughly. The whole team is very friendly and it was an enjoyable experience with great results.”

320 W Irving Park Rd, Itasca“Several years ago, we painted our kitchen cabinets with Annie Sloan products we bought from Di Lucca Design. Michelle was helpful then in explaining the process in order to achieve the best results. After a while, and as can happen with any painted finish, we needed to touch up the "trash can" door which takes the most abuse. Since Annie Sloan is now manufactured overseas, there is apparently a slight color variation from the Coco color we originally used. Obviously, we called Michelle to ask what to do. Not only was she able to track down a sample size of the original formula, but she shipped it out to us without an invoice. Wow! If you're looking for Annie Sloan products or help/advise for your own projects, Michelle's your gal. Thanks Michelle taking such good care of us. We really appreciate it!”
“Beautiful assortment of gift items (even if you yourself are the gift recipient). Everything is nicely arranged and fun to look at. Staff is very friendly and helpful. A joy to visit!”

2133 63rd St, Downers Grove“By far the best thrift store I've ever been to. Crazy selection, crazy turnover rate, and good deals. The guy is fair and will negotiate with you on pricing without beating you up.I would recommend at least stopping in once so you can see what I'm talking about.”
“The store was beautiful! It reminded me a lot of Howls room in Howls moving castle!! Everything was so beautiful and Micheal was extremely nice and helpful! Happy anniversary to the store by the way! The earrings were beautiful as well as everything in the store! When we paid everything was packaged nicely and even sprayed with this amazing perfume! I was so shocked at how much I loved the store! Definitely going back there soon!”
“This is one of the Ten Thousand Villages that has an annual handmade rug event, where you can come in and see the rugs. You might find handmade rugs someplace like The Dump in Lombard, however here you can be sure it's made by fairly-paid artisans and you don't need to wonder about child or slave labor. They often have interesting jewelry which is quite affordable; miscellaneous housewares; runners/napkins/placemats/aprons etc. and hand-knit hats/scarves/mittens. They even carry fair trade chocolate bars. It's a little bit like Pier 1 used to be but with fairly-paid artisans instead of mass merchandise. There's nothing here that you need, but there is probably something here that will make you smile. Staff is very pleasant and patient when you ask them to, say, show you every rug in a three-foot stack of carpets, and if you have something particular in mind, they'll help you find something similar.”
“Cute shop nestled between several great restaurants in the downtown Bartlett area! Great furniture pieces in there and at very affordable prices! I was very surprised how fair the prices were for the solid wood furniture!”
“This is one of my favorite shops to visit when looking for both new and old items.The owners have selected a variety of merchants who are crafters,builders,painters and artists just to name a few.Beautifully organized in a peaceful and comfortable setting.Located outside of the St Charles downtown area along North Ave with plenty of parking.Whether you are looking for home furnishings,jewelry,clothing or art..this is the place to visit.”
“I went to purchase a couch and Roopa designed an entire room around it. I ended up purchasing a chair and a rug. There are a few other accessories that I will be adding to the room as well. The quality of the furniture is excellent and the design Roopa provided exceeded my expectations. She provided pictures of what the finished room would look like and even worked with me on another room in the house. I will be back.”

1120 Illinois Rte 59, Naperville“This was our first visit to Penny Mustard. We were looking for a media console for our TV, stereo equipment and media. Jailah helped us through this process. And it was a process. The media consoles are completely customizable. First you pick the style. They had several examples of the different styles on the floor. Then you pick the size (height and width), doors, drawers. Then you pick the (solid) wood and finish. Finally you pick the drawer and door hardware. Jailah patiently guided us through all of this.Penny Mustard is not cheap but then we are getting a fully custom, solid wood piece of fine furniture. Like so many things in life, you get what you pay for.I will be updating this review after the furniture arrives.”
“This outlet has a wonderful selection and some amazing prices. Sofas, sectionals, tables, paintings, and so much more. Donna was extremely nice and helped us out with our purchase. I bought a super comfortable sofa and I will definitely be purchasing more from here in the future.”

“This chic little shop is nestled in the town center. It is well curated that once you step in your mind is instantly filled with ideas for gifts or ideas for your home. The gentlemen who assisted me was very kind, and helped me pick out the right boxes so I could have them gift wrapped. For sure made the holiday shopping experience easy. Prices are a little higher on some items to be expected but it was worth the price for the one of the kind pieces I found.”
“Had a great experience with Ron as my sales rep. We is very knowledgeable and was able to get me exactly what I needed. He was a pleasure to work with and can’t wait till I need more furniture to come pay him a visit again. This furniture purchases was the best I’ve had in a long time.”
