I bought one of the homes that White Dog Home staged! I was moving from Florida to Cumming, Ga. and…read moreonly had a short weekend to look for a house. I didn't find a house that weekend, but my realtor sent me a link to a home and said it had me 'written all over it.' The home was beautiful but what really sold it to me (sight unseen in person!) was that I could really see myself and my family in it. Come to find out, the house was staged by White Dog Home. There was a mix up with one of the rugs that was used in the staging, and when they came back to the house to pick it up after I moved in, I asked off-handedly if they would consider selling it to me. I bought the rug and in the next couple of weeks, spent time looking through the original photos of the house and trying to find similar items that they had used to stage it. Finally, I realized I could probably buy the actual items from where they came from and called White Dog Home. I love the style, and I loved the way White Dog Home staged the house I bought. It wasn't too fancy or stiff - it looked like an HGTV home, a dream home, a place where I'd want to live. I bought a house they staged sight unseen in person, bought a rug that they staged in my home, and I'm planning on working with them to decorate and style it now that I live here. It's a crazy, random, and fun story, but I wanted to tell it because it's a true testament to their work. I should also mention that I have only spoken with Malinda over the phone, but every interaction has been easy and accommodating, which, if you've ever moved, you know is so important when you're finding new people to work with. People who just understand how to treat people/their customers always win me over!

I love eclectic places where surprises wait around every corner and that's just what you get at The…read moreCotton House. One of Alpharetta's older buildings, The Cotton House is located slightly off Main Street on Milton Avenue. The interior rambles from one room to another and around each corner is something new and interesting. This is a combination of antiques-dealer stalls and a consignment shop so the finds range from custom Christmas ornaments to refinished 1950's end tables, from handmade soaps to farmhouse dining tables and everything in between. In my last visit, my cousin found a vintage milk bottle set and a refinished (distressed) side table for a bedroom all for less than $100. This is a place where - when you find a piece you love - you'd better snap it up right away or it'll be gone the next time you circle around to it. This is not a place you pop into/out of - it's a place where you plan to spend a couple of hours browsing. There's just too much to see and if you rush through, you'll miss all the interesting little items. Look up, look behind and look above - there are decor items everywhere! Some are cute, some are kitschy and some are absolutely must-haves. There is parking available on the street in front of the store but it's limited and requires you to back out into traffic. I recommend parking in the (free) gravel lot just behind the store. Another good parking option is the deck at City Hall (only one and a half blocks away) - parking is free there, allowing you time to browse and then have a nice lunch at a downtown restaurant while you contemplate your purchases.

I purchased five items and had to return with a truck to pick up one of then. Upon preparing my item for loading, we noticed a few issues in the top finish. I ask if they could order me a new one instead of accepting the one on the showroom floor. She said she would check on it or that she could offer me 20% off. I ask her to check on the new one and let me know. No one called me back, so I called them back a few days later and they told me they cannot order a new one. So I went today take a closer look. Two different clerks were working and told me they would only take 10% not the 20% the other clerk offered to me. So I ask for a refund. One of the clerks issued my refund and did say, "I'm, sorry" and she wished me luck in finding something else. The other clerk stood at the counter and said clearly under her breath, "there is nothing to be sorry about." Well.... I sorry for your loss and any future sales to me, I liked your merchandise. But refuse to be treated rudely. It's such a nice store to have such an unpleasant clerk and so unprofessional of her.

It's one of those stores where you can walk away with a neat or charming piece of furniture, wall decor or gift and you never know what you'll find. There's something so satisfying about this kind of shopping. I often come here without any specific piece or need in mind, but I always walk out with something that is perfect for my home ... The staff is so friendly and you can tell they love working there and are proud of their artists and vendors. Since there are no shopping carts/baskets, they can hold your items for you at the front when you're ready to check out. I highly recommend signing up for their newsletter so you can keep up with their sidewalk sale dates or other fun events. I came unknowingly on a Valentine's week event and sipped on a free mimosa as I shopped - how perfect is that?!!
