“I just love Upscale so much! The sections are organized so you can find items based on what you're looking for- from clothing to kitchenware to furniture and lighting. I love their mission, and they have half off sales relatively frequently. The inventory changes and I find new treasures every time I go! Especially recommend to anyone looking for interesting furnishings.”
“The owner and her staff are very attentive and greet everyone with a smile and when you leave her establishment she always says THANK YOU FOR COMING ? regardless if you purchase or not. You can find unique gifts for just about every holiday or birthday! However if you see something BUY IT! BECAUSE IT WONT BE THERE WHEN YOU COME BACK! I can't say enough about this little gem in Libertyville.”
“I always have a good experience here , not sure why there is so many bad reviews . Workers are always polite, Mimi is a sweetheart , Avery is always professional and kind , and their assistant manager is also great. They also host great events . People can’t get mad that their clothes aren’t being bought when you have to remember they will only buy clothes that can make them money. If you are in Libertyville, I would definitely give this place a chance!”
“I've watched my fair share HGTV shows where the designer goes to some kooky place filled with trinkets and treasures of times gone by. This place is a bit like that but mixed with the early days of Etsy. "Designers" can rent an 8x8 or bigger "storefront" to showcase their unique designs. Mostly stuff reclaimed from decades gone by and redesigned with some kind of flair. There's generally a theme to the different storefronts: women's vintage clothing, funny and lovey-dovey sayings regarding dogs and cats, plastic and silk flowers, dairy and farm, sarcastic sayings, whiskey barrel designs for the men dragged into this place, etc.
My wife and I found a whimsical chip and dip bowl. It was nice and will replace one of the blander versions we have at home.
Truthfully, there were quite a bit of items that were perfect housewarming gifts and gifts for people who have specific decor tastes.
It's also a decent place to just kill some time browsing through all the stuff people have created to get your own creative juices flowing.”
