I feel it is a privilege to work with designers who have outstanding selects of furniture. They are helpful and go out of there way to assist. I do not feel I would want to shop at this store then go online and find their products for less. Someone criticized them for high prices, but really, there prices are more then fare. If anyone wants to go online and find furniture or lighting then do not use another store to put them out of business. A wonderful place to shop not only for furniture but gifts

My wife and I have been wanting to remodel our home and Julie Ann came highly recommended. She was…read morequick to reply to our inquiry and stopped by for a consultation. We loved the ideas that she had for our home, but just as importantly, she listened to what we were looking for and then expanded the scope of our requests--as well as coming up with new suggestions/ideas for us. Her pricing was surprisingly reasonable which really helped since we wanted to do this on a budget. She also had ideas of how we could achieve results without overspending on materials etc. We absolutely love our newly remodeled home and can't recommend her highly enough.

Dan, Jim, and Team did a wonderful job reimagining our kitchen. Throughout the process, they were…read moretransparent about the status, gave their opinions without any pressure whatsoever to make a certain decision, and built our new kitchen with readily apparent pride and craftsmanship. I'm stunned by how the final product matches the original renderings so accurately -- this was our first construction project that had no unpleasant surprises! The team was like part of the family, and we were on a first name basis with everyone who came in to work on the project. Our home was always left clean and secure, making it much easier to be here while the construction was taking place. Through temporary walls and a dining room magically turned into a temporary kitchen that the team set up, we had a somewhat normal life as this was all taking place. We absolutely wouldn't hesitate to hire Hometown again or recommend them to anyone seeking a team that will work closely with you and truly care about your home.

These guys came and took measurements and were able to show me several different design options rendered on the computer. I chose the one I loved, and they advised me on every detail, right down to the trim, appliances, cabinetry, flooring, and backsplash tile, helping me to make my dream kitchen a reality within my budget. I could not be happier with how my kitchen turned out! I'm amazed that they were able to see the potential in what I thought was a lost cause and then make it a reality for me. My cramped cave-like kitchen is now bright, airy, and inviting! I cannot speak more highly of Hometown. Let them show you what they can do - you will not be disappointed!

It is STUNNING, and truly hard to believe it is not a real flower. The owner/artist Deane is talented, to say the least -- her creations are very realistic, elegant, and just beautiful in their simplicity. May I encourage you to check out her website -- esp for the Flower Walls you can rent for events such as birthdays, weddings, quinceaneras, baby showers, and other types of parties -- what a VERY COOL idea and way to make your event extraordinary and memorable!!! And also check out her bouquets of paper flowers -- again, you will find it hard to believe they are not plants! So realistic -- and will last for so long ... and ship well! So keep this in mind for your long-distance loves, and friends/family around the country! It also looks like she offers workshops -- how cool would THAT be to contract Deane for your Zoom event with your friends scattered across the country and something you could all do together during these bizarre COVID times? I'm so glad I found Deane Bautista! Hope you'll visit her site -- dwblooms.com I think she's about to help change the way we all gift ... and how about supporting a local, woman-owned business?!?!?
