The Painted Sofa

My husband and I moved from Chicago to KC and I used to spend hundreds of dollars at Bella B Décor and The Painted Sofa while I was decorating our new home. However, the owner, Lynn, and her sister, Lucy, made it very clear that they did not want me shopping there. They would make comments like, «you are back already?» and they treated me very poorly. They were always very rude to me, followed me around the store while I was looking, and acted like they wanted me to leave. However, it all worked out in the end because I stopped going in and now I spend my money at places that appreciate and value my business. I love shopping local but I refuse to give my money to mean middle-​aged women who behave like cliquish sorority girls! Thanks ladies!

I’ve had several friends mention how awesome The Painted Sofa was… today I can now agree! I’ve been missing out! This little gem is filled with antiques, furniture, crafts, wall art, collectibles and home décor. They have a small section of clothing and jewelry as well. Several of the furniture pieces are painted with chalk paint and the same paint is sold there at the store for you own DYI projects.
