In fact, just exploring the space made me feel more present, as if time slows down when you stop to appreciate well-made things. Moreover, the customer service was excellent: not only was everyone I interacted with extremely kind and helpful, but I even learned a few things (for example: how to tell what kind of material a mug is made out of by holding it in against the light). I went home with the most beautiful robin egg blue Miranda Thomas Pottery mug, but I wish I had picked up a few more things. I will definitely be returning to the store in the future.

My wife and I (so far) have purchased 17 pieces. Awesome, beautiful furniture.

On…read moreThursday we decided to just do a little exploring of the area and were driving just north of downtown Ludlow Vt. and saw a sign for Clear Lake Furniture so we decided to stop in. Being an amateur furniture maker myself and also having been in the wood industry my whole career, I love wood. The furniture that Brent and his craftsmen make at Clear Lake Furniture is top notch. They have many different designs that you will not find in any furniture store and the quality is exceptional. After we checked out the showroom with a good representation of the what they can do I noticed a sign on the doorway that leads down to there shop which invites you to go down and explore the shop and talk with their craftsmen. Well I couldn't pass that up so down we went. We were welcomed by Mark who was very glad to show us around and see some of the beautiful woods they use to make their amazing furniture. He also explained that each piece of furniture is made by one craftsman from start to finish. So if you are interested in some handcrafted custom furniture, do yourself a favor and check them out.

I am hoping so very much it is a flight delay because of weather, for the drive is beautiful and well worth the time it takes to find the happiness only a true wonder of a shop such as this can give me!

We entered through a door with a giant bear next to it for photo opps, and into the part with all kinds of fun Vermont (maple) treats, drinks, and other snacks. Then there was main floor, upstairs, and downstairs to see. Missed downstairs since I heard that was mostly furniture, and I spent about 2.5 hours scouring all the rest. Prices were all over the place, as is so often the case with antique malls. Bargains and Zingers abounded. Because I bought so many smaller items, it overwhelmed the young man doing the check out, and it soon before they were closing. He did not know how to prioritize, and unlike the ladies that opened the 2nd register, he did not go over all that I bought, confirming the details, which frustrated me, because I'm pretty sure I got overcharged for a couple things. So, make note, and add up stuff yourself if you are buying more than a handful of items. The staff sprinkled throughout to help open cases to show you merch were all very friendly and eager to help. If you're antiquing through New England, I definitely think this should be on your list!

By the time we arrived at the store, she had a plan to share and multiple suggestions of how to arrange the room. What was extraordinary was how she arranged to meet with us before the store opened in order to insure us extra time and provide us a completely safe, non-threatening and sanitized environment during the COVID pandemic. Her upbeat manner carried over as she followed us home to measure our space and mark out where the chosen pieces would go. Nobody does this! But she did! Moreover she was available for carpet consult and other extras. Not only did we save ourselves a 3 hour round-trip to Nashua's larger furniture stores, but we had her undivided attention and commitment to making the right purchases for our home. We are grateful to this local business and delighted to have worked with Jackie. This business deserves our praise!
