“The shop owner’s daughter was very pleasant to speak with while walking around and looking all the vintage treasures her parents have accumulated over 40 years. So much wonderful things to see and buy. It’s a must stop if you’re in town!! Family owned and run. You’ll won’t be disappointed on the southern hospitality, welcoming and the golden treasures here.”
“I came to Wade Refinishing when I had a very old and valuable secretary that got some water damage in storage. One of the horizontal surfaces had gotten some water logged insulation resting on it until I happened to find it. It had black spots and crud on it. Mr. Wade repaired it and I am ecstatic!!! Picture attached below of the whole secretary. Thank you Mr. Wade!”
“I had the pleasure of visiting this nice store today and even met Tricia. She was very pleasant and the site is great. Lots of unique treasures plus the upstairs is a gallery with local artist paintings. Very nice. I'll definitely be returning.”
“This is absolutely my favorite store in Homewood. Drew and his associates provide the best service all the way around. His prices are awesome and he always has 1000 things I want. Whenever I am in town, I head straight to Argents.”
“As a fellow handmade rug business owner, I deeply appreciate the quality and uniqueness at Henhouse Antiques. Their curated collection and super-friendly staff made my visit 10/10. It's clear they share a passion for craftsmanship and history. Highly recommend for anyone who values charm and quality :)”
“I really enjoy visiting this shop. It's just so magical!
There was so much to look at, and I found several pieces I just had to take home.
I haven't encountered any rudeness, but I may not have met everyone who runs the shop.”
“One of the most fabulous thrifts stores that I have ever been in! I've been thrifting since I was a child (in the 70's & 80's) along with all over the country, throughout the years, including when I lived in Southern Cali (I'm from Wisconsin) And by far, this truly is the best. The people are sweet. The selection is eclectic & fabulous along with exceptional organization! It's a beautiful hidden gem where you never know what you are going to find.”
“I have an oil-on-canvass painting in an antique-looking gold frame that was missing a piece of the moulding at lower right corner (see the gaping hole on the frame in Pic1). So I visited Christopher House Antiques in Birmingham, Alabama, and spoke to Mr. Stephen Kao, its owner. He is such a nice gentleman, and very pleasant to talk to. He examined the frame and said he would be able to repair it. Basically he made a copy of the moulding pattern from another part of the frame and inserted it into the gaping hole, and touched it up as needed with gold paint. Now the frame looks fantastic (see Pic2), and I can’t even tell if it ever had a gaping hole ! I highly recommend Mr. Stephen Kao and his Christopher House Antiques for repairing antique pieces including frames and art pieces. He told me he also repairs antique furniture.”
“Mr. Pyle was such a friendly and cordial gentleman to me. He was so knowledgeable and informative on clocks and so willingly to explain everything about my clock. He told me things about it that I would never have known. That meant so much to me. I certainly do highly recommend him to everyone needing clock work. You will be very happy you chose him. His charge was much LESS than I had anticipated .”
“Huge, with a variety of items and at various prices, so something for everyone. But the best part was the incredibly helpful and friendly staff (sorry we didn't ask your name but we asked about egg coddlers).”
“If you are looking for antiques, this is the place for you. It is 23,000 square feet of wall to wall unique items from the present and the past. It takes a while to go through all the isles, but it is worth it. You could have lunch at the Craft Burger just down from Publix and then walk it off at the Brass Bear afterwards”
“Not the largest antique mall around, but still a nice selection of everything from furniture to decorate items and more. Very clean and no musty odor, and the staff was super friendly and helpful!”
