This particular shop, not crazy big but does pack a whole lot of punch to it. Right when you walk in, it's two stories. Majority of the retail is downstairs. A cute home decors space with amazing artworks hanging throughout. Downstairs in the main showroom as well as upstairs. Upstairs was more of a gallery in a sense. There's loads of home decors as one would imagine with a place like this. The selections of dish ware, beautiful glassware, amazing hat sections as well as a wide array of jewelry. There's so much to look at. In the back of the store was also another little shop that's a florist with both some fresh cut flowers and dried flowers. Loads of little trinkets, a whole displays of candles as well as some stationary. Not sure if the furniture is part of the display or if they're retail. Either or, another cute spot.

Tala Design was one of these spots, an attractive shop selling furniture and curated home goods, as well jewelry and miscellaneous knick knacks. The store was pretty and pleasant to browse, with an easy layout and plenty of handsome merchandise. I wasn't planning to buy anything, but I found a dish of cool rings fashioned from vintage spoons, made by a woman in Ojai. One of them fit just right, and I liked that it was one of a kind. My husband bought it for me for the reasonable price of $37. I gather Tala offers interior design services, and the shop serves as a showroom as well as a retail store. I wasn't looking for that, but the place was certainly good advertising for design work. Check it out if you're walking around downtown Ojai. You might even find something to take home.

We have a maple Scandinavian dining room set my parents gave us as a wedding present. When the kids…read morewere little years back, the original seat fabric got all stained and nasty with milk, etc. We went to an undisclosed interior design place and replaced the fabric with marine grade vinyl and thick padding. The result was horrendous. The vinyl was tucked, unprofessionally with big seams/creases at the corners, like a do it yourself job. We didn't care at the time - as long as it held up for the next 10 years, we were good. Come 2020 and that vinyl is getting annoying. Our butts stick to them, the chairs noticeably look bad relative to the rest of our furnishing, and most importantly, the kids aren't leaving have half their food on the seats. Santa Barbara Design Center has been here for a while and I stopped in randomly on the way to Home Improvement. I was introduced to Michael, a knowledgeable and personable chap. I showed him an online picture of the original chair, and that I wanted to restore the seat to its original, sleek, sculptural and refined splendor. He said no problem, provided a couple of premium quality fabric books, and we were on our way. We picked out the fabric and brought the chairs in. Michael commented "my god, who did this work?" 50% down and ten days later, chairs were done, with a message "come down and make sure you are happy." My wife and I looked, were pleased - Michael responded with "here's something that bothers me, I want you to see..." He flipped the chair over and on the bottom, the seat fabric was stapled just outside of the underside frame. You wouldn't see it normally, but from a distance or looking down from the side, you might. Immediately we thought the same thing, yeah, that's not ideal. He said it shouldn't be done like this, let me redo it for you, no charge. His upholsterer redid it, and boy those 8 chairs look great, almost better than the original! The seats came out sleek and wonderfully curved over the underlying pad. The fabric is comfortable, soft and elegant - couldn't be happier. The interior of SBDC fills a warehouse space and contains just about everything; furniture, rugs, lamps, etc. The staff were COVID compliant, and Michael was a dream to work with. He has an excellent eye for detail, is easy to work with, and is an honest broker; I wish we had more projects for him!

Great little thrift shop off the beaten path. It's way bigger once you step inside than how it…read morelooks from the outside, and is full of clothing, homegoods, and knick knacks. From a clothing perspective, despite the large selection I found the selection to be pretty basic, with a lot of standard items (t-shirts, sweaters, etc.). If you're looking for eclectic, kitschy stuff this is not really the place for that. But if you want basic essentials, there's a large variety of that. There are a TON of household items for every room, from cups to organizers to dish dinnerware, etc. I ended up finding a porcelain cup for camping that I've been looking for for awhile. There is also a whole room full of furniture, and a separate room full of sporting goods. Huge collection of VHS, though not sure if that's very useful for anyone anymore these days. While the items are organized in sections, due to the large amount of stuff crammed in there you definitely need to dig around a little. It feels a little less curated than other thrift shops, in that there are a lot of things in there in poor condition. Some of the stuff is dusty and not fully cleaned. What made me love this thrift shop is how CHEAP it is. Hats were 1.50, shirts were a few bucks, jackets were 5 bucks. Walking into the store I was worried that it would be more expensive than Goodwill or a large chain thrift shop, but it's one of the cheapest thrift shops I've ever been to. I didn't need too much help except to check out, but the guy working the front was welcoming and friendly. All in all, from a selection/quality standpoint of the items I would give this place 3 stars, but because of how cheap it is I give it 4. I wouldn't drive too far out of my way to go here, but if you're in the area it's definitely worth it to check out.

Over several days I engaged in 3 conversations with a Cabana salesperson. She recommended their house brand (Matouk) and assured me Matouk was a "best seller" and "Cabana carried nothing but the best". Over subsequent conversations it was clear that the salesperson could not answer basic questions such as "why is Matouk your best seller?" I prompted her to discuss thread counts and cotton types, but she was mostly stumped. She eventually admitted that she never used a Matouk product. I had the impression that she had never used a fine linen product. I eventually found a sell on the Internet with a tremendous amount of knowledge that made me feel safe in my decision. I also felt like I learned something, other than what is the "best seller". I spent 15 minutes on the phone with an expert and made the decision....that was a savings when you consider I got nowhere with Cabana in over an hour of discussions and research. I spent slightly more, approximately $1000, on the Internet than I would have spent at Cabana, but for my 12th anniversary I needed to be 100% certain that I would not be disappointed. I also felt better telling my partner all about the type of cotton, thread count, etc., rather than simply saying "happy anniversary, the Sales person told me it is there best seller".
