I've been a resident of Lafayette for 17 years and always wanted to stop by this shop. I like old things. I see all the poor reviews but that wasn't my experience at all. The wife Brenda is a talker (she kept me longer than I would have stayed but it was ok) but she was pleasant. Her and her husband Jerry helped me figure out a lock situation on an old piece of furniture. They are Christians and were extremely friendly and polite. They have some gems in the bigger building that you can see off the highway. Lots of locks, doorknobs, metal art, sinks, crosses, etc. From what I can tell the prices were reasonable. In the other building was architectural items like doors, windows, archways, and heavy mailboxes. The scenery in the back is very calming and relaxing with ponds and plants. They had beaucoup cats. They don't bother you but I don't like cats but it is why I gave it 4 stars. But I understand why they are there they have a great deal of stuff that could use a little more organizing and I'm sure the cats keep pests away. I will go back. I did see a bunch of things that I would like.

Went looking for a rare piece for my old claw foot tub. Mr. Jerry was so very helpful and nice. He had the very last part of what I needed! So exciting! Very cute place with beautiful antiques! Hope to go back!

Older woman offered us alcohol in coffee, made some disgusting comments regarding my partners genitals she is absolutely nutty seemed to be off her rocker jacked up on pain killers. Can't believe she made it to old age coasting by with that piss poor attitude

The older lady working there was incredibly rude. They way she spoke to mother made me so angry, I was about to start yelling but just decided to leave. Looking at the other reviews, I see now it's a common thing. What a shame because it looked like they had nice stuff, but we will never return because of the lack of manners and professionalism.

An older lady (I believe the owners wife) is absolutely bat**** crazy. She kept hanging around talking and is very condescending and rude almost to the point of an obvious mental illness brewing in her head. It is a cute place that has specialty items you cannot find at other places. That is not the issue.. The issue is the owner and customer service

My husband and I flipped an old home. We loved coming to this store for old accents to allow the home to keep its charm. We changed the windows on the house and came here to sell them. We had called previously to see if they had a need for more old windows in their store. We were told to come down with the windows.

My wife went to look for some windows and a door. Gentleman was very nice, Female was condescending and mean. Her demeanor and customer service were awful. Take your money elsewhere.

The woman who runs the place was extremely rude not only to us but her staff right in front of us. She told her male employee to "go do your chores" after we was trying to speak with her. Her sales technique was high pressure and condescending. Prices seem very high compared to other stores we have shopped.

My husband and I where out thought we would stop by and check Ole Fashion Things out. We felt like we where being followed around and watch like we where going to take something. We found the items being very over priced.

Very eclectic collection of all things vintage/antique architectural. If you are looking to go "ole fashioned", this is the place. Prices range from cheap or reasonable to as much as you can pay.

First of all went in today Saturday no one was there we left at 12:20 then came back we drove a hr. To get there . We called several times after that to see if anyone was going in to work ,no answer. We go back to check owner sitting outside on porch eating and wife in side. No one answers the phone!! we finally went Inside just wanting to look at tubs the lady takes us around I explained we just wanted to see tubs only and get a few prices she asked us questions over and over I told her my husband knows how to install these tubs, she proceeds with same question then is telling us how we'd need to install in our space I asked can we just look at tubs she told me to be quiet she is asking telling my husband something about the area in my house basically it didn't concern me! I was boiling over by this time. Then ask me if we buy a tub like this where would I put shampoo. I told her I use it in my shower, she said no when I'm in the tub... WHAT...I asked her what does shampoo have to do with me looking at tubs. She then is pulling out trays that go on top of the tub. I told her I'm not interested in that I want to look at just tubs. She tells me "I have been doing this for over 30 yrs I will tell you when i'm ready , I'll finish going over this stuff until the spit goes dry in my mouth!" I told my husband let's go. She quickly turns in the hall way and hollers to tell her husband that we need to speak to him about tubs.. He was no help either rude at first being that he heard me fussing about how rude his wife was.... What the heck how aCRAZY. I will never recommend anyone to buy there....

Felt very uncomfortable , the owner kept following me around asking strange questions. Felt like I couldn't look around . Not a place I'll go back too! I'll drive the distance to find what I need.
