The most perfect little shop ever! The staff is super super nice and there was bunch of adorable stuff and tons of great finds!
Good, quality products, and beautifully designed space. Staff is very helpful and friendly.
My assistant Jenn and I stopped by in the middle of the most dreary day to look around! I loved everything in this place, and the staff was so friendly and engaging. It was such a great way to pass a rainy afternoon! Plus, Jenn had some sort of hyper connection with this old bear and it really was an interesting discussion we had! And then she went back and bought the bear! I could not recommend this place more, whether you are looking for something cute and new, or a priceless antique! We will definitely be going back!
I love the staff. I love the decor. This was a great stop for a quick last minute gift. I didn't even know what I wanted but I found a few items to gift and a few for decorating my home.
I visited Primitive and Proper three times in the past few weeks. In the first visit, I spent about $60 on paint, and the second visit, I bought two paint brushes, the more expensive one being almost $40. The owner and/or her son were very friendly and helpful during both of those visits. I had watched numerous videos from Annie Sloan herself, so I was pretty confident with the proper techniques for painting, waxing, and clean up. Unfortunately, the expensive brush I bought began to shed after only a couple minutes of painting. It was so bad that I had to stop every few strokes and remove the bristles embedded in the first layer of paint. After one coat, I gave up. Receipt in hand, my third trip to Primitive and Proper was not as pleasant. After I explained what happened with the brush, I was met with accusations of not cleaning it properly Why would I even bother to clean I brush I would never use again?, not using it correctly, and not knowing that “all new brushes shed.” In short, the owners would not consider the possibility that they sold a defective item—not the product or brand—just that one item. For $38+, a paint brush should hold together, at least for a little while. It’s such a shame to see small business owners disregard their customers. Offering a refund, or at least a store credit, would have been a small cost to the owners that paid them back multiple times. I was planning to spend much more there on Christmas gifts, but now I won’t even recommend the store to family and friends. It’s easy to offer good service when everything goes well, but when your product is faulty, blaming the customer *and* profiting from that sale is just bad form. Buyer, definitely beware.
My favorite place for unique home decor and the best faux floral around. I love the way they display old with new and I always get great ideas from my visits. Owners are super nice and very helpful.
Love, love this place. The owners are so nice they greet you by your name..I have been here many many times. The aura just walking in there shop is so relaxing. They have new, vintage, antiques, just a variety. I go to every event.
I live in Georgia, my first stop when I visit my sister in Illinois is Prim & Proper. So many cute things..I love this store wish they would expand down here!
I love this specialty store. I shop here all the time. The owners get to know their customers and greet them by name and have conversations with you. Fun shopping here. Just walking into there store puts you into a different aura.
Old is gold with these guys. They have some awesome finds of antiques, collectibles and repurposed furniture from years gone by. The owners/staff are VERY friendly and sometimes even bake cookies for the customers BONUS!! I don't know where they find their goodies at, but they rotate stock fairly quickly.
