The new shop is smaller and more cozy than the old space. As of mid-2021, it seems like the store is still in the process of becoming homey and curated the way the old one was. But they still had exactly what I came in for--chalk paint. The wood block swatches and the chalk painted furniture in the store makes this a great place to find what you're looking for. I'm also a fan of the cards and paper products here. There always seems to be a little something that catches my eye. Stylish Patina is a great store for the DIY lover or the person looking for unique home decor and gifts.

They'll let you know what plants are pet friendly and whch ones do best with lots of light, less light, etc. so you can help decide what plants are best whether you're a hard core plant person or you're kinda lazy and looking for something that's only slightly more work than plastic. If you buy both a pot and plant here, they'll even pot it for you so all you have to do it put it by the window and give it some light. This place definitely isn't the cheapest but their stuff is all top notch so it's worth checking out.

They also offer a great selection of unique gifts and other special items that you can't find at the countless big box stores that have taken over almost everywhere else here now. It's like visiting...Etsy...in person. If such a store existed of course. Obviously only a very very small, and very highly curated BIT of Etsy, but still...it's etsy-esque. In a good way. Well worth a visit. Especially for those "extra hard to shop for" and "already have everything" types. They're also great for the many miscellaneous gift needs that pop up throughout the year for coworkers and teachers and other people you might not know very well and whose gift options fall uncomfortably in between even the classiest target dollar bin options your best friends might love, and the fancier more expensive fare reserved for one's own children, close relatives, spouses... The "I don't really know what, but ideally something special and memorable and cool" gifts for all sorts of things like secret Santas, teacher appreciation, miscellaneous baby/bridal showers, office party exchanges, attempts to gain favor or acceptance from cringey or critical or perfectly lovely mother in laws...etc. This place is perfect for all of those and more. I've found awesome Christmas presents for my mother here two years in a row now, and many fun things for myself as well. Best boutique baby clothes section I've seen in the Arlington area, actually. Oh! And Scout bags galore!

Many of them were on a elastic cord that es ould snap on me. I like to wear jewelry for days or weeks without taking it off. If I were to do this with elistic cord or elastic nylon, (which I have) the rope/cord breaks. As I checked each store I did not find the bracelet I wanted, but I did see some ideas on one or two Christmas gifts for my wife. One of the last shops I went to had what I was looking for. There was one green nylon bracelet with jade designs on it. It is an adjustable bracelet and happened to be the one and only one too. I bought it for $10 bucks, and wore it immediately. The other options of nylon colors are Red or Brown. I wasn't feeling the red nylon and I dislike the color brown. So much so that I will not wear brown clothing. There are many other things sold here, but I wasn't interested in them. Still, unam sure the next time I am here, I will come across something else I will like.
