This store is located in the heart of Ballard on Leary Ave. There is a dedicated parking lot, however I chose street parking. Their showroom features vintage, mid-century modern, and high-end furnitures. They also have a decent amount of rugs, wall accents, room dividers, and paintings, and even cocktail sets. The prices are quite reasonable and they have measuring tapes available. If shipping is an issue, they also offer delivery through Uff Da Logistics for a fee. I in search for a record stand, however didn't exactly find one that fit my style. I did score on an antique chess set with case. The staff was very friendly and even offered to open other display cases so I can take a look at other items. I'll definitely revisit this shop and see if there are any other items worth taking home.

It did look a bit more expensive (tag said $250) sitting in SB than it did in my garage. More power to you, Sparkle Barn!

The store is so aesthetic and thoughtfully curated, it's like the kind of bookshop that makes you want to read every book on the shelves. The LGBTQ+ selection was excellent and very visible, not tucked in a corner, which immediately made the space feel welcoming and intentional. The vibe overall is just really pleasant and warm, you can tell it's a place that actually loves books and the people who love books. Left very happy with my finds and already thinking about going back.

I wanted to look at the stationary they had and I took 5 years old to the corner session with cute books to get him interested of the store. My son picked up a pair of plastic reading glasses from the reading glass tower and the lady on floor said 'that's not for kids'. I realized they may not be kids friendly and I need to lay my eyes to my kids every second instead of every 3 seconds. So we went to the session that they sell toys... those 1-2 inches tall gear wind up toy monkey. You know the second you pick those up and they will start to run a little. The lady talked to my 5 years old son said if you want to play it buy it home. I really had enough of unwelcome treatment up to this point and took my son with me walk by the lady asked if she is the owner and she said yes. I behave the normal me and I just have never felt unwelcome with my son. I wanted to support local small business but this attitude just don't make to my list.

Oh my goodness, what a crazy, bright, interesting, and well-staffed store. They have so many disparate types of goods, from flooring to shoes, clothes to gifts and housewares. And more, so much more. I appreciate the range in price from nearly every budget and that some of the items are one-offs so it's not as if everyone will have it. Customer service was prompt and friendly but they also let me look at my leisure without asking me constantly if I needed help. It's a fine line between helpful and pushy and they know just how to handle it. I look forward to my next trip to buy something for me!
