You get better service at the pawn shops. Why would I come in here and spend $4400+ on an ounce of gold or $72+ on an ounce of silver when they clearly do not even care about me walking into their shop. This place seems like it caters more to kids buying Pokemon or Magic the Gathering cards. Seriously do not waste your time or gas at this place.

As I waited in line behind several people, an employee walked up glanced at the line and went over and opened another register.

It is really taking me aback as I stroll through the aisles and just imagine the things I can now do to decorate and create some more fun filled rooms at home with. I came for a conference and got suckered into coming in (all alone) and wow I stood more than 4 hours. I totally was lost in space because everything is so interesting. This spot is really not super expansive and lets you create the most beautiful venues in your home with just a little bit of creativity. Nice vintage (looking) items to make your decor a hit. Look through national magazines for ideas then come here to re create it. Seriously you have to see how much of a hit this place is. I am really sure that if you come in you will be able to find something useful to bring to your estethic and everyone will truly believe you spent a ton of money on just a few items.

Love this place! I have been to a few different painting places and I have to say this one has the…read moremost pieces to choose from to paint which I love! It's very nicely set up, the staff is friendly and welcoming and it's overall a great vibe! We walked in and were given a table but soon enough they had to start turning people away so I would suggest a reservation on the weekends! It is pretty pricey but I'm okay with that for the experience and atmosphere there :) I painted a vase and my daughter painted a corgi and it was $100 before tax. There is a sitting fee for each person painting and then you choose your piece you want to paint which has its own price tag. There is so much to choose from I am sure anyone can find something in their budget! I personally really like the way they provide paint cups of the 5 colors you choose ( I think if you asked nicely they might let you have another color if you started painting and realized you needed another color). So it's not like we need painting trays or anything like at other paint studios! I can't wait to pick up our pieces after the glazing! We will be back to paint more treasures!
