Home Decor near Bellmore, NY

“Local store with some quaint, sometimes whimsical decorative pieces for the home. The name suggests that some items have a farmhouse look, but you will find there are items suitable for any design you may have in your home, and they have unique holiday items with fair prices. You will find vases, candle holders, and flickering candles, all having good quality. The staff is helpful and pleasant. You will always have a good shopping experience. Many of the figures on my mantle were purchased here, including the candles and the taper wreaths with snow.”

“Four Seasons Design Group on Long Island oversees the manufacturing of two American art jewelry designers. "For over 35 years the Four Seasons Design Group has been producing handmade jewelry and metal goods right here in America! Working with designers such as Michael Michaud Design and Mercedes Schaffer to create beautiful quality products for museums and galleries all over the world." *In a quick Google search, it is unclear whether Mercedes Schaffer has her own line, or is partnered with Michael Michaud. For this review, I will focus on Michael Michaud, because he is the designer I collect and wear. Four Seasons Design Group manufactures the Silver Seasons brand, which is the brainchild of artist/designer Michael Michaud. There are now two Michael Michauds in the jewelry biz, but Silver Seasons is created by the father, the original Michael Michaud. (His full current line can be seen here: (Michael Vincent Michaud is the son, another fabulous jewelry designer, who works more in glass. I reviewed him separately.) A fine jewelry store will call Michaud "costume," but it is definitely ART jewelry. While the Sr. Michaud has a range of style (I prefer his abstract designs, like the driftwood collection), his botanical pieces are bent on realism, and I see them often at museum gift shops or higher-end artisan stores (first saw them at Longwood Gardens). You can also buy online. Michaud often uses real leaves, twigs, berries, etc. in his castings, but having done this in clay myself, I know that artist tweaking is required to render pronounced detail, and translate it into the appearance we crave. He uses a technique like the ancient "lost wax" method, forever practiced in African metal jewelry (and employed today by artisans around the world). Michaud's method of patinating, too, is beautiful (you can choose from 3 finishes for most pieces). And it's not just the casting and coloring of a leaf, it's the creative process of looking at these nature objects as coveted adornments. Coating a leaf in gold is cute, but Michaud shows us there are depths more to this rabbithole. He takes birch bark and wraps it around your wrist as a cuff, or hangs a Maple tree's "helicopter" (double samara) on the perfect angle to make it runway-worthy. He takes what is commonplace in the woods, and elevates it, or rather justifies it, at the bling level. I am no jewelry historian, but I have studied ancient jewelry, I am an enthusiast/collector of 20thC costume jewelry, and I have designed/made costume/craft jewelry for myself, and to sell. In my background, I've never seen the likes of Michaud's imagination and detail when it comes to a nature theme. His portfolio boasts some of the most amazing and intricate renditions ever to appear in jewelry of any fineness. Part of why I buy his jewelry is because I genuinely believe it will (eventually) grow in value in the vintage costume market. That said, Michaud pieces are still affordable. This is not Yurman, David Lin, or a couture fashion house at Nordstrom. While popularity and exposure may aid in the worth of department store stock, there is aesthetic as well as intrinsic value in the bronze, silver, and gold used in Michaud's works. Artistically, it's a matter of taste, but I think Michaud's designs are more understated, stimulating, and classic, to withstand time and trend, and be wearable for decades (if not generations). As mentioned, Michaud's works are bronze castings with patinas of sterling silver, karat gold, and colored bronze (earring posts/hooks are solid silver). He often uses a matte finish (not muted tonewise, but not shiny, nor smooth), which works beautifully. Real semiprecious stones and freshwater pearls are incorporated in many designs. (With a recent explosion of Chinese pearl production in huge varieties of size, shape and color, I am seeing more and more fw pearls in his newer pieces.) Michaud Sr. also has a line of tableware, which is great for special occasion gifts. Nature themes can”

“I love my new chandelier from World Lighting. Ping was amazing. Amazing customer service — Friendly, Informative and responsive. The kept the store open for 10 minutes longer so I could pick up my chandelier because I was stuck in traffic! Thank you Ping!!”

“I was so impressed at the service I received from salesperson Ms. Henri'Ann Peccoo. I am so big on great customer service. Because I am very loyal customer. It feels good to be treated correctly & have all your needs meet especially when you spend your hard earned money. Ashley furniture is great and my experience has been such a rewarding one the quality is so important.as well. Thanks again Ms. Peccoo for everything.”

“Beautiful patio set, great price, and our salesman Burt was the best!Edited to add: set stayed beautiful all summer! Saw Bert again when we went in to buy a furniture cover. He’s still the best!”

“I had a great experience with Joy. She was very helpful and took her time with me to pick out a couch that would work for my space. She and I sat for an hour working out different ideas. Joy is very professional and helpful.”

“We had uncertainties of the colors or furniture type for our living room & were pleasantly surprised with the huge selections offered & the options available. Our CS Rep was fantastic & full of knowledge. We found our set & couldn’t be happier!”

“Went here to pick up some quick Mother's Day gifts - you can't be surprised that the prices are a tiny bit higher than normal, it's a boutique and they have some really good quality stuff!I don't think I'd necessarily buy clothes from here as that's what has the heftiest price tag - but their house decor and little gifts are SO cute!!!They have an extensive jewelry section and the cutest little trinkets - even gifts for baby showers, bride-to-bes, etc.I'm so glad they moved closer to me (they used to be in Seaford) and I can't wait to come back! The owner is also really really sweet :)”

“EXCEPTIONAL. Angela went above and beyond for me and I am very grateful for the exemplary customer service. Highly recommend the Madison's Niche Garden City location. I myself will be a repeat customer in the future!Back Story Summary: They helped me with getting a stuffed cat for my aunt, who loves cats, and was just put on hospice care. Was booked for a flight in the morning to go see my aunt in Indiana and Angela went above and beyond to work with my schedule to inure I got the stuffed animal for my aunt. Thank you sincerely!”

“Def recommend this spot 100%, the staff is very nice and the vibes are very calm. Staff come by and check up on you regularly to ensure that everything is going smoothly. Stayed for a little over an hour and a half to create my own terrarium. Def didn't not feel rushed at all , just felt welcomed to stay. Def worth the drive as there's easy street parking a few blocks away”

“In all fairness we got off to a bad start because I kinda misunderstood hence: Be clear on the return/refund/exchange policy! But ever since he's been great!!! And has extremely fair prices for an antique store! And unless you're willing to put in a lot of work/time to save a buck or two it's hard to beat his price! Considering stopping in??? My suggestion is don't be in a rush you will definitely want to have time to look around! He has EVERYTHING! And is good for keeping an eye out for something you may be looking for should he not already have it! I get lost in there lol. Not physically.....but memory wise WOW! I only allow myself to go in once maybe twice a month because I never leave empty handed! He also makes for some good conversation so I pop in after my haircut nextdoor every now and then! And when I say be prepared to spend, it's not because his prices are too high but I have very little self shopping control! Hahahaha thanks for everything see you soon! I need some Islanders memorabilia you have my number!✌️♥️&?s”

“My experience with Table Pads Custom was absolutely terrific from start to finish. I used their tracing kit to give my table's exact measurements and corner design. Communication with the staff was excellent. The product fit and quality exceeded my expectations. I could not be happier and highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed.”

“I can’t recommend Mark It Maven enough! Jill and Dawn went above and beyond for me and I am so thrilled with how my loaf pans turned out. Communication was easy and the process from start to finish was quicker than I ever expected. Now my family and I have a beautiful keepsakes of my Grandma’s banana bread recipe for life long memories! Thank you Mark It Maven!”

“If I could give this store 10 stars I would! Absolutely the best gift store around. So many items to choose from. Baby, home, bridal, college, etc.... They can personalize just about anything and the employees are so helpful. And... free gift wrapping that's so pretty!!”

“Absolutely satisfied with the level of service I received. There was a small hiccup in my order and when I called it in, they took care of it right away and sent the balance of the order Priority Mail. If I lived out that way, I would probably be working for them.”

“Marie O the cashier at the cafeteria has been very helpful. I asked her for more information on non dairy options and she was very eager to help. She totally deserves a raise. The kitchen staff were also helpful and gave me non dairy suggestions”

“The in-store design consultancy at A Charmed Life Boutique transformed my space into a stylish and inviting environment. The team's expertise and creativity brought my vision to life.”

“We walked in and was greeted immediately , wish I could remember salesman's name, he was wonderful. We walked out super happy, with a bargain couch that we love. Ran home came back with our truck and the guy who helped load truck was equally great. Highly recommend this Raymour and Flanagan outlet. Great, easy peasy experience! Will be back, need small blue recliner!!”

“Great experienceAlan and Tim went out of their way to help us. They beat any Internet price that we saw and most importantly they care about you as a client. It is a very hard business to operate ,as a lot of people go there and waste their time looking at their beautiful displays, then they order the products online . I think we need to support these stores and buy in personSimply because they give you the excellent customer service at the same or often better prices than online stores. Also if we don’t support local businesses, we will not have a physical place to go to see the quality and details of what you are buying.I highly recommend this great company.”

“Frank Land is the best! If you go here you must talk to him. He is very knowledgeable and will help you within your budget. He is always looking out for the customers best interest and will give you his honest opinion. He will not push you to get something you don't need or want. Every salesmen should be like him. If this place does not promote him to a manager, or higher, they are doing something wrong. Every employee should be like him. The frank land experience at raymore & flanigan is top notch! 5 stars for frank land! My girlfriend and I are redoing our studio apartment and we do not have a high budget or a lot of room. Frank was able to help us and even help measure the furniture with us and plan the layout of our apartment. We got a couch, bed frame, and mattress. All high quality for a great affordable price. Could not have had a better experience at this store because of frank land.”

“We are updating our home. There were so many choices. Sal helped us pick the perfect chandelier plus a mini one for a hallway. It only took 2 days for our order to be ready. The store really is exceptional!!”

“We were looking for a wall sign that replace an old (ancient, actually) stand-up sign at our company (you know, the 1970's ones that you had in grammar school and someone would attach all of the letters). Wanting something similar - but larger - to those in hotels, I found Access Display through a Google search, and you can customize your sign to be pretty much any way you choose. I chose the size, frame color, how I wanted to hang it, etc and a frame that other companies quoted me $450+ on was just over half that, delivered! I did the ordering online, but did have a quick question after I submitted it, and called and spoke with a really nice guy. While it is unlikely we will need a sign anytime soon, if we do, we will place a second order.”

“If you've watched Schitt's Creek, you'll be familiar with David's store: Rose Apothecary. For some reason this store reminds me of that shop (which is a good thing). White House Home is one of those locally owned businesses you want to stay in business because of the personal touches, quality service, and small town charm. The store is essentially a boutique selling a variety of imported products: lotions, candles, glassware, porcelain, and even some packaged foods (cookies and chocolates, for instance). You'll find few of these products at another store nearby, which makes the selection pretty unique. Most recently I came here for a Mother's Day gift and had plenty to choose from. The employee working in the store that day took time to answer my questions and offer some product recommendations. The prices here are perhaps a little steeper than you might find at a large retailer, but it's that personal touch and eclectic selection of luxury goods that make it worth the price jump. Upon deciding on something to buy, the employee took time to carefully wrap the purchase in a gift bag, even removing the price sticker since I mentioned it was a gift. The store is located in a small cottage, so looking in from the outside it might appear to offer just a few choices, but the store is really packed with options, so there's a lot to choose from. For the small town charm, personalized service and unique offerings, I'm a fan. It doesn't necessarily have anything, but it's the perfect place to go if you need a special gift or are looking for something different.”

They have a huge outdoor space where they also have events! This place literally has it all!Check them out and thank me later!”

“This place is a gem. I was able to get help to solve small problem at home I would never have received the service in a home Depot or a Lowe's highly recommend”

“A must visit!!! From the moment my wife and I got into the store, it was very warming and welcoming. We were helped from the very beginning. It did not take us long before we realized our idea couch. As we sat in it, we knew this was the one. A&M’s policy and deals are remarkable. The transition went quick and well, and we left out very much satisfied. From the couch to everything being set straight forward, it was an experience like no other. We will be back again for another fantastic experience!!!!”

“What can I not say about HomeGoods! Such a treasure and never disappoints. Just get your pocketbook ready because you’re gonna want to buy practically everything!!”

“Shawn (not sure the spelling) was very nice and helpful. Was able to schedule my new dining set before Thanksgiving! Thanks again. The wife will be very surprised”

“This company is amazing! First off my dream cloud huge couch is perfect!!!!!!!! Came so quickly, they dropped off 2 pieces and then Sean/Shawn himself brought the other piece in his SUV at 9pm from Long Island to Manhattan! Also during the shopping process he worked with me and facetimed me to show me diff options etc. Def recommend and def will use again!”

“Outstanding customer service throughout our experience. We found Atlas Showroom online and purchased a set of eight stunning vintage dining room chairs. So many nice things to say about Wafa who took great care in answering our questions, pulled shipping estimates and stayed in touch up to and after delivery to our home in Los Angeles. Wafa obviously has a designers eye -- the chairs are one-of-a-kind and priced amazingly. Thank you for making it a special purchase!”
