This store has really cute and unique items for the home and for gifts. This includes some really…read moreinteresting local artwork that is not overly expensive. In the past I've made several purchases here. It's a unique shop and I would dare say the only one in the area like it. Having said that, I don't give them much hope of remaining in business long since they don't appear to be opening any consistent hours. Yes I know it's hard to get staff currently but you just can't close your doors 7 days a week and expect to remain in business. What's really baffling is they've been closed on days when there's been lots of foot traffic because of the Farmers market. Even if you do hav upe staffing problems wouldn't you make a point of being open on those days when you know you would get lots of people walking main Street? I've stopped by twice in the past 4 weeks and they have not been open. Yes they have a sign posted in the door to check online to see what hours they might be open that week. But what kind of business practice is that? How do you expect to develop the foot traffic to keep your store open if you're never there? I typically tried to stop in every time I'm in Grayslake. I don't always buy something however the last two times I stopped I actually was looking for some gifts to purchase from local shops. You can't buy local if local is never open. It's a shame because I really was looking to buy a hostess gift today Disappointed.

Uniquely curated pieces. Love the whimsy! Many items (if not all) are made by local artists.read more

She even offers outdoor furnishings and basic window treatments, which the other stagers I talked to did not. A couple hundred dollars more than the other quote I got but worth every penny.

One of your employees / partners who says his cousin works at your warehouse, Wilbert Rodriquez,…read morelied and scammed me of $2,700 of rental income, leaving my luxury condo unit damaged and a mess and not paying his February rent on purpose while I actually was on an international trip! He is a liar and thief who uses your company to scam and convince people to let him live there rent free and bring your furniture to their properties! To gain their trust! He had occupied my condo with your furniture, then left my condo damaged! I actually allowed him to buy a "house for his family" without credit as a favor and he used my kindness to financially abuse me and my own new business income! Instead of kindly telling me he couldn't pay before I traveled so I could have my rental ad up for my OWN marketing! We are now at a risk of losing $5500 because he cannot MAKE honest decisions! Based on this type of lying and behavior for your employees, I give you a ONE STAR for quality of talent and how they use their "employment" to secure rental properties then deplete the owner's finances! I will ONLY remove this post once he has paid me the FULL amount of missing income he stole from me! If this is the kind of business you operate, a family of thieves shame on you!

My real estate agent's firm highly recommended Phoenix Rising Home Staging for luxury condo units…read more So, I requested this company and another to come out and sell me their ideas/terms/prices. Both companies work with ultra-high end real estate, and have designers on hand to attractively style the home with furnishings. I was particularly partial to Phoenix because of Hannah. While the prices of both companies were comparable, the contractual terms were less favorable with Phoenix; however, I really liked Hannah. She has an art background, and does design for a living. She was impressed by the art in my unit, and knew a good deal about quite a number of them (impressive!). I had to commit to 5months of rent for Phoenix's furniture, at about $2200/month, even knowing my unit would sell in a month or so. 2 of the 3 bedrooms were staged, along with the public rooms. The alternative high-end staging company had a one month commitment of $5K, with each subsequent month being prorated by day (@ $2K/month). This alternative company didn't have Hannah, though, and her design eye. I took the bite and committed to Phoenix knowing my gorgeous unit would sell in a month (it did!), and I am glad I did. Thank you Phoenix Rising, and Hannah!
