Lori followed us out to our car. She looked so mean and did not once talk to my husband and me. She just talked to our daughter. Lori asked my daughter where the sticker price tag came from? That my daughter needs to put it back. Who does that? It's a price tag. There were numerous things in the store that didn't have a price tag. We didn't complain. The lady held my daughter's hand and said, "Are you going to cry?" That's so rude and disrespectful. She kept on saying, "Are you going to cry?" to a 1-year-old? My daughter says a few words. She doesn't know how to talk. My husband and I felt so sad when Lori did that to our daughter. The lady never apologized for her actions. My husband went back inside to tell Lori that what she did was wrong. You don't touch other people's children and yell at them. My daughter didn't break anything. She was happy looking for a dresser for her room. But my daughter ended up crying over a lady bullying her.

I wanted to buy things I had no room to place in my home so I held off. But will certainly keep in mind if I or anyone I hear of needing furnishings.

There was a great big void in the front of the store where furniture might have been. Instead, there's an old mattress and some stroller and a rickity table. The place needs to be merchandised and completely revamped to be appealing. The guy behind the desk was nice but he needs to get out there and completely fix that place up ...the junk you had was so overpriced. Then this guy tells me they're opening up another store in McKenna. Are you kidding me? You need to curate it to be appealing. Not look like a garage sale. This place could be so nice in the center of Old Town. Yelm. But instead it's a junk hole. So disappointing. My advice to you is to completely re-merchandise it and set it up completely differently. It's a mess.

I went to Kravins, The new name for the coffee house, that used to be called Shiplap it's located…read morein the center of Old Town Yelm, WA. I had great expectations but was sadly disappointed. First of all, you must realize there's tons of coffee places in Washington, especially in Yelm I can count about 9 places that sell coffee on the main Street. I'm not even counting the half dozen gas stations either . Most of them are little drive-thru structures. This one is a brick and mortar in town. And unfortunately people are lazy and like to drive through and get their beverages. So that's sort of a negative for Kravins. You need to make that place a coffee house. Someone is willing to get out of their car for. The former business was really adorable. They had some really cute unique vintage stuff in there shop. They had a business that did Do-It-Yourself terrariums in the back. It was very unique and it was sad that they didn't make it due to lack of support of this town. The rule of thumb is when you take over a business you need to make it better and more interesting . I went in the other day, because I heard they had soup there a while back. They no longer sell soup. So that's strike one. Their baked goods looked like they had bought them from the grocery store instead of either sourcing them from someone unique or baking them themselves. There are plenty of bakers that are independent in this town that you could source some really amazing baked goods from if you don't want to do it yourself. You need something like that to bring people in. I don't know why you don't have a soup and salad bar that would take your business to the next level. The cute shop and vintage items are gone and have been replaced with boring gift store items. Tim's pharmacy has the most unique items and they're right across the street. Why are you trying to reinvent the wheel with some humdrum stuff? I'm giving you free advice if you want to make that business go. You have to make it shine and be so unique. Even the drinks have to be different. I purchased a small smoothie that cost me almost $8 and it wasn't good. It was extremely sweet and it had a strange taste to it. Based on that visit I would never come back and I wouldn't recommend you to anybody. You have a really nice shop there. You need to really bring it up to the next level. You need to serve some sort of soup and salad. Something unique. Forget the sandwiches. Those are everywhere or if you make sandwiches they have to be different. People are looking for something new. Also you want to make it a place people want to come and hang out. It's not charming anymore with the gift shop hanging there. Hopefully you fix it. Turn it into a little restaurant.

Quite a unique store. It looks small from the outside but once inside, it huge.

Decor overall is carefree and chill moods. Clean & spacious place for work, relax, or just hangout to read a good book with drinks & snacks. Drinks are okey, not bad and same with foods. No need for high expectations but go with the flow. We went here for some recoup & recharge over coffee & cookie and card games. Service is nice & friendly. Good vibe for sure. Had a wonderful time here with my friend before bowling right next door. Parking is plenty, most are street parking infront, sideway or in the back.

That's phenomenal for Goodwill.

Reagan did a beautiful job of getting down to the original oak. She worked with me to choose a stain that would go well with new cabinetry in our home. Some of the old paint deep in the cracks gives it an antiqued look, and it's most definitely an antique, now made like new in the best way. When I dropped off the rocker Reagan said she loved furniture with a story, which my rocker has (To give her a picture of the rocker I sent her a blog post I had written about it: https://biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/2023/02/the-rocker.html). She went on to add that people bring her antiques they just bought; those are going to get their own stories in the future. She clearly really loves working with furniture.
