If you're wanting for the owner to judge you and tell you what you can and cant afford this is the place! I went looking for 2 lamps. While he was showing me he showed me a pair and said " but won't want to pay what they are worth ". I had never discussed my budget or what I wanted to pay. This isnt the first time. I have bought over 10k worth of windows in the past 6 months from his compe

I was spoken to in an incredibly unprofessional and insulting manner by the owner, who assumed I “wouldn’t be able to afford” multiple items I intended to purchase. This is especially absurd considering I’ve spent close to a thousand dollars at this store in the past. The comment was distasteful, unnecessary, and frankly disgraceful.

I love this little shop! Everything is in great condition and reasonable prices as well. Owner is really nice and helpful. Most of everything is saved from around the area, which is really neat. They've got a lot of unique doors and stained glass as well as a great selection of wood pieces!

This is a cute little shop with very friendly and helpful owners and staff. They have a lot packed into the store, but it's very well organized.

Great place to visit!
