Faitell Attractions, opened during the pandemic, is a REVELATION…read more The only reason I stumbled across the store was my passion for coconut frozen yogurt, which Yogurtland currently sells (along with pistachio). Parking in a garage downtown for a frozen yogurt irks me so I rarely go. I passed this consignment and the moment I entered, my eyes grew big. It's mostly furniture---a mix of mid-century modern and other classic pieces--but also one of the best designer resales I've seen in the back. Every bench, piece of art, chair gorgeous. You just have to go in to appreciate the extraordinary taste of Lisa Faitell, who moved to SB from Westchester County (a tiny town my dear friend lives and I just spent three nights). It's a mother-daughter operation, which I love. They also do custom window treatments and you can arrange for delivery. In the hour I spent, a woman in Laurel Canyon bought a large bright aqua sectional couch. I love absolutely everything. Note: the clothing runs small. Best if you are a size 2, 4, or 6. I love that a New Yorker opened this store--in a pandemic no less. New Yorkers have grit and chutzpah, always rising to the challenge in the most fraught conditions. I bought a dress (48 dollars) and an incredible long sweater-jacket with pattern (50). Wearing the dress to the Granada Saturday, my first time since 2014 before I moved to the city. If you're downtown, you must go in. It's impossible not to come away with a treasure. I went in to look for plant stands and found an outdoor set for 50 they only sell as a pair. I might have to go get it, though I really only need one.

I cannot say enough great things about SB Screen and Shade!…read more I hired Santa Barbara Screen and Shade to install a double french screen door and was extremely pleased with my experience from start to finish. Kim was very thorough in asking questions about the application and offered several options with a nice selection while guiding me to select the perfect solution. The unit arrived on time and Jason came to install the door. He was extremely friendly, professional, explained to me how he was going to install it, verified some areas before installing and the whole job was done quickly, efficiently and very cleanly. It was a pleasure working with them and I highly recommend them to my friends and family

Always beautifully curated and presented. It's definitely pricey, but I'm sure part of it is…read morepaying for their high-quality items that they have out that you won't find everywhere That said, I feel like customer service could be improved especially for the price you're paying. Definitely greeted kindly however when it comes to getting answers about products and getting called back when they get items back like the gloves - I receive no call. I stopped in multiple times and would check in and just remind them to call me. Of course, another time I stop in they have them but nobody called. Same thing nobody called me back about some questions I had on fabric and some products. So sadly, I've dropped them down from 5 to 3 stars because if you can't get information, especially when you're willing to pay a pretty penny, then that send a message that they don't stand behind their product or they don't really believe in their customer service. I have waited six months and had similar experiences so this isn't a one off. I'll try again down the line and hope things will have improved. I've tried to ask for the owner but she's not there. I wanted to give the feedback directly but seems like I'm out of block as well. I hope this helps. I look forward to updating this review in time.
