Kristen has helped me choose the right matting, glass, and frames each time I visited, and I have been very pleased with the results. My framed pieces are constantly complimented by visitors to my home. Each visit is a pleasant experience, and I plan to return soon to have more items framed. I highly recommend them.

On the way, asked the facilities man where a good place to go for lunch would be. TR, recommended Rays Diner. In addition, he offered to show us the pools. He had stories about TJ's pool that had a wheel chair ramp for FDR. Thinking back to the 30's, this building was quite an architectural feat. He said the main pool,was already built when Eleanor Roosevelt's wanted the therapy pool for FDR, the engineers put it outside, then covered it with a porch. The pools,were flooded in 1993. I hope they get the funding to renovate. Very cool historic place with the nicest people. Thanks again Theodore Ray!

Timing was as promised and within just a 1-2 day turn around.We also bought a World Series Royals signed framed picture and it was very cost effective and better than any sports store I would by this at. This year we returned and again bought a large Chiefs stadium framed photo in a frame for $139. About $60 cheaper than Rally House and Sports Sampler. The guy even carried it out to our car for me. Great service. Highly recommend.

They have a nice selection of items and they know the history of each artist that they carry.

It's definitely worth checking out!

I'm sure my mom has become a regular, and I will come back on my next trip to KC. This store is everything I could/would want in a retail store. Everything in it is handmade art, and beyond that, it's actually all GOOD! The curation is incredible, and Melanie really has an eye for talent around the U.S. that she brings here. And better yet, she has a vision and dream beyond just being a retailer selling stuff. In addition to bringing things of beauty here handcrafted by mostly women, she gives back to the community and really thinks about personal economics for everyone. I encourage you to visit her website for more information. They day we came in we showed restraint and left with only two pairs of earrings and one handbag. Everything in here--jewelry, scarves, purses, clocks, small art, and more--is of good quality and interesting. Not everything is for everyone, just like anywhere, but I was shocked and amazed at how much here I truly loved. Even items I didn't love I could appreciate for their artistry. I wish this store/Melanie the utmost success and many happy years, and I look forward to my next visit.

Darkwood House Gallery is tucked in the lower level of a strip of shops along Winner Rd. in the…read moreEnglewood Arts District. It's hidden from view from the street, but very much worth navigating your way off the beaten path, down the staircase and entering the netherworld. The gallery is a well curated space featuring several local artists works for exhibit and sale. The art is all fascinatingly dark in subject matter - with occult, gothic, necromancer... subject matter. All of the art is interspersed by collections of artifacts some for display most for sale; ranging from medical tools, taxidermy, wet specimens, a mad scientist laboratory, and all the way up to an actual human skull. DHG is not for the faint of heart, the fundamental religious or those that believe that Thomas Kinkade's work is interesting or art. The gallery director Darren is quite welcoming and engaging as was one of the featured artists that was on site - John Kelly. Local artist and "rogue taxidermist" Simone Smith was heavily featured with her wide array of pieces and the model for another featured artist's b/w photography. Check the hours before you go, they are usually open only weekend evenings, but they are well worth the trip to an under rated and emerging neighborhood. The 3rd Friday Englewood Art's Walk is a sure way to visit when they are open and see a multi-block arts fest.

The range of artists is broad and the quality, for the most part, was excellent. The prices are very reasonable, given the quality. There was an array of jewelers, some whose work we've seen before and some new to us. There were glass artists, ceramic artists, wood workers, textile workers and others whose work defied categorization. Some were local, others were from Florida, Colorado, Utah, California, Minnesota and Wisconsin. There were several whose work called out to me and it was only the lack of wall or table space that kept me from buying. Most enticing to me was the work of a mixed media artist from Minnesota, Brenna Busse: http://www.brennabusse.com/images/mixed-media/ As for the jewelry, I had my impulses firmly in hand and resisted, although there were some gorgeous pieces. There were food booths along the perimeter of the fair, but we were saving ourselves for Danny Edwards barbecue for lunch. There was also a farmers' market w/ home grown produce and homemade preserves. Nancy scored some green peas and was very pleased, as she had been unaware the farmers' market was even here. After close to an hour and a half the heat got to be too much and we headed home, but it was a very fine art fair, smaller than Brookside, but very well chosen.
