Went by the store and they were closed. It would be nice if they posted hours online and showed when they are open or closed.

Beaded Bungalow is my favorite bead store anywhere - ever! I've been beading for many years and used to have a business and Beaded Bungalow has better quality merchandise than any bead show I've ever been to. Mr. Phil will spend as much time with you as you like. He is a great salesman and loves the beads he sells. I live in Kentucky, so I don't get to this store as often as I would like, but he will ship anywhere and send pictures of beads, etc, to help you get your bead fix! Here are a few examples of projects I made from Mr. Phil's beads. The Keshi pearls and morganite beads are absolutely stunning! The pictures don't do them justice. Until next time, Mr. Phil, God Bless and take care!

I am always overwhelmed when looking in a store where there are so many options. This can prevent me from experiencing a shop fully. Thankfully, Mr. Phil, the store's owner, made me feel very at ease. Not only that, his read on my interests, tastes, and personal knowledge and experience as a jewelry designer, was insightful. We shared the same love for the more old school bead discovering experiences over the more modern - and rather cold - online shopping, as well as a deep love and appreciation for natural gem stones. We both share a keen eye for the artistry of beading, stringing gem upon gem, beauty upon beauty. Mr. Phil and his wife have numerous hand crafted pieces of jewelry on display in the bungalow; stunning jewelry that reveals their artistry and love of beads.The floor boards in the Beaded Bungalow creak when you walk on them. That begs the stories of all the memories made over the 27 or so years that Mr. Phil has owned this cottage-like store in the artsy Nashville neighborhood with its cool coffee shops and boutiques. I got to hear several of those stories during my visits to the Bungalow. Mr. Phil has stocked his store with hand picked treasures, some so rare and old school precious that they are kept in a separate room. I've purchased many of those treasures, and will be purchasing many more. I trust Mr. Phil to tell me truthful details about the beads I'm interested in, assuring me that the jewelry I make and sell to my customers is of top notch quality.I had all but given up on finding a physical location in which to purchase beads and findings where I felt a connection to the vendor and had access to a knowledgeable source. I'm so glad I gave the search one more chance and found Mr. Phil's Beaded Bungalow.

Beautiful bead store! The owner was very knowledgeable with many years experience and a joy to converse with. I can't wait to gift my friend with the unique and beautiful bracelet that was too beautiful to pass up! Looking forward to making earrings from the amethyst I found as well!

Unfortunately, this establishment doesn't seem to think there is a pandemic. No mask on the man (owner?) offering to help us. We were masked up, trying to stay safe. He is wanting to show us a smaller room off the side, which would be worse for social distancing. We declined and left, nor will we return.

The shop is dark and needs better lighting. The owner took my friends purse and put it at the counter like he thought we would be stealing. We are both nicely dressed, we have money, drive a nice car. Both honest, working ladies. No reason to be suspicious of us. Also the restroom door was open when we arrived. We were the ONLY customers in this tiny store. My friend asked to use the restroom and he told her it was out of service and we should go to a restaurant a couple of blocks away. We left ok and will never go back.

Phil is patient, knowledgeable, and most important- has a delightful sense of humor.The Beaded Bungalow is just that... A bungalow with seemingly every bead needed to complete a project, add-on to an old favorite, or to simply hold because it's beautiful. Take a peek. You'll be glad you did!

Great beads in a well-organized store, and I won't fault the owner for getting every penny he can out of everybody (which he does). He always strikes me as a slightly scary curmudgeon, fwiw.

The Beaded Bungalow is one of my favorite places to go when I’m in need of something unique to complete the piece of jewelry I’m making. Mr. Phil will help you find just what you need, and you will most likely “catch the bug” after you’ve spent some time in his shop - I’m obsessed with making my own jewelry now! I found a sharks tooth at the beach a couple weeks ago, and made a necklace out of it with a beautiful stone I found at the store. HIGHLY recommend going to check out all the treasures Mr. Phil has collected over the years. 5 STARS!
