The moment I walked in to Cindarella’s, I felt like a princess; I found the glass slipper piece that I have been looking ages for and great customer care at this antiques shop! I even met Cindarella herself, who is extremely kind and a princess herself. I have been searching for an antique desk to use as a vanity, and I finally found it right as I stepped into to Cindarella’s. After being greeted by two friendly staff members, I looked down and saw the desk. It is beautifully finished with slight distress on the shape and an intricate hand-painted design including flowers and a old postmarked letter with script. I was thinking of a different finish, but was astounded by the remarkable detail that I kept it as is. I walked my way to the back of the shop to the register to purchase it. As I spoke with one of the staff members who welcomed me, I learned she was the owner, Cinda. She worked with me, in between casual chit-chat, personally completing my purchase. We then discussed when I could pick up my vanity and allowed me to come in after hours the next day in between her deliveries to do so. Her husband and son also gladly helped me put my vanity in my car! The shop is well-kept with unique and one-of-a-kind pieces. Though it is primarily furniture, like bookcases, vanities, and desks, they also have a number of different items like vintage jewelry, candles, and lamp shades. Cinda is constantly finding and bringing in new pieces, so if you do not find anything, you likely will in a future visit. She works very hard to present each piece at its best. She personally finishes pieces, sanding and painting and putting her own touches of love on them. She really takes time and care with each item she sells. If you do not like how a piece is finished, the shop has an entire line of paint and handles or knobs(that they or you can do with instructions) to make it just as you would like it. Cindarella’s is definitely a gorgeous shop with outstanding pieces and customer service. I love every part of this furniture(and more) boutique and intend to go back soon to peek around more carefully.(I got a little excited as soon as I found my vanity and focused on getting it.) Take the time to go a corner off the Silas Deane Highway behind a deli to this shop set in a small building complex. You will undoubtedly be just as impressed as I am and find fantastic pieces that you will not see anywhere else!

This is a great place to get repainted vintage or really nice wooden pieces in immaculate condition. Jessica is pretty talented when it comes to refinishing furniture so we don’t need to pay someone else for their time, since Jessica can do it just as well. She uses great colors, her prices are fair, and she gets some pretty quality pieces. So far we’ve bought a Thomasville french provincial dresser and a 1930’s Art Deco vanity. She does have pretty nice costume jewelry(not really my thing I am a dude), paint for furniture, handmade soap and other assorted items(we got some pretty sweet porcelain door knobs too). We haven’t attended one of her classes, but on Saturdays you can learn how to paint furniture(shabby chic style), and you leave with the piece you worked on. If you appreciate things like dovetailed drawers and actual wooden furniture check this place out.

A really lovely shop with beautifully refinished painted furniture and great gifts(especially hostess gifts) and costume jewelry. The owner has a great talent for styling and merchandising, it is hard to not buy everything in the store!
