I first came across this place a few years ago when my wife and I visited the Berkshires. While…read morewalking by, we noticed several prints in the window that we thought would look great in our home. We decided to step inside and found even more things that caught our interest. They had a variety of items--jewelry, souvenirs, framed prints of artwork, comics, maps, and something I found particularly unique: framed book spines. As we browsed, the employee working there was incredibly friendly and helpful. Although we were initially on the fence about purchasing an art print, we ended up getting that along with some of the framed book spines. We recently returned to the area and decided to stop by again. This time, the owner was there, and he was just as friendly and helpful. A few years back, some coworkers had given me a gift certificate for the store after I told them about it. I had completely lost track of it, but the owner called his wife to see if she could locate any record of it--and within 10 minutes, they found it! We left the store with another large framed print, another book spine, and an enlarged, framed vintage train ticket from the Northeast Corridor. If you're ever in Pittsfield and looking for wall art or unique souvenirs at good prices, definitely stop by this cute store.

Don't mistake Museum Facsimiles as the Berkshire Museum's gift shop just because of its name or…read morethat it's literally right next door to the actual museum. This is separate and apart from the museum. So forget the oversized pencils and postcards racks- what you'll find are unexpected gifts, stylish homeware items, metal jewelry, garden stuff, leather goods, Can-Can French posters and more in this shop. We got our hands on an $18 metal hanging bird bath, ornamental metal hooks for about $6 ea. and a few other things. In a nutshell, Facsimiles has it all with banging prices.

Let's support a small, female-owned business that makes its products in the USA! This…read moremother-daughter team started working a dining room table more than two decades ago. If you are a fan of classic design such as Tiffany, William Morris and Frank Lloyd Wright then you will love Rennie & Rose pieces. They have tote bags, table runners, placemats, serving boards, pet accessories, fabric (I'm pretending that I didn't see that section), and pillows. The pieces are well made and reasonably priced considering that they are domestically-made. If I manage not to spend a small fortune on R&R products then it will be an exercise in fiscal restraint heretofore unseen. Does it count if I buy presents for other people..?

Amazing store! Becky, the owner, is very friendly and has a fantastic eye for great vintage pieces…read more If you're into mid-century stuff you will be in heaven. Everything is well-priced and in beautiful condition, and it's not an overwhelming amount of inventory - although they are always finding and bringing in cool, new pieces. The furniture is great, but I also love the unique art and decorative housewares. The back area also has a small, but well-curated selection of classic records and vintage clothing. I def recommend following their fb and Instagram pages to find out when new items come in - and stopping by just to check things out!

There's a lot I like about this place: fresh ingredients, friendly staff, and outstanding coffee…read more We had a rueban, turkey blt, and açaí bowls. The fresh lemonades were worth the 6.00! The bill was about 120.00 which for lunch is a lot but we are 2 adults/4 kids. It's strange that they bring your coffee to your table, but then you have to take it all the way to the sugar/cream station at the front. They bring you your meal, but you get your own water and silver. I get it; it's cute, but kinda strange too - especially when lunch is that costly. I also, I think a 15.00 açaí bowl has more açaí in it - but it was really good. Everything was good. And the staff was super nice.

I had never ordered any custom upholstery before, and she made it easy. She also graciously took on multiple rounds of us changing all the details. The end result is gorgeous - it's now a centerpiece of our living room. Update June 2020: We did another terrific project with Donna and her team, upholstering an antique carriage bench with fun fabric I found in Madrid. They did a perfect job, including really thoughtfully centering the pattern in the fabric and putting piping around the edges. The finished piece is transformed and brings us so much joy!
