The name of this store tells you nothing about what it sells- mostly kitschy, fun uber-trendy trinkets and household items like bowls made from newspaper by women in some third-world country and "ugly" dolls. It's worth a visit to this Oak Park locale just to see the amazing interior design of the store- note the art tiles on the front counter and the fabulous floral painting on the East wall. Some of the items are pricey (i.e. the adorable diaper bags which surely only Oak Park and downtown elite can afford to carry wipes and Desitin in). Despite the pricey items there is something for everyone- fun candles shaped like sushi for 3 bucks, cards funny and artful enough to frame for 2.50, amazing wrapping paper and a variety of uniquely scented candles. get on their mailing list and they will let you know about fun events like their recent Cinco De Mayo/Anniversary party and an upcoming signing by a popular card artist.

Our blinds and window treatments in our house needed some serious cleaning. We took them to this company to have them cleaned and we were very impressed with their service and timely cleaning. The blinds were collected back within the day clean and looking like new again. They charge a flat rate of $10.00 per blind, or if the blinds/window treatments are extra large then the price will be more. The staff there are very nice and acommodating to customers needs.

A recent cleaning job by Molly Maids in my six room home left a lot to be desired - and finished up afterwards. In addition to coming nearly 30 minutes late, they wiped my countertops around appliances (i.e. toaster oven, coffee maker, washed the floor in the greater area - but skipped corners - and left windows with toddler handprints untouched. Their customer service guarantee said they would send a team to complete the job a few days later - and I have not seen broom nor dust mop since. Seriously shop around and check references before hiring this service.

Observing painting tradesmen and contractors is something that I've done for over 30 years in Oak Park and River Forest. And if you are truly knowledgable about painters and craftsmen. You would understand that a compliment like that is a big, big thing. This area boasts some of the world's great architects and home builders.
And having painted houses with many oldtimer painters over the years. I now find myself one of those oldtimer painters.....Recalling names like...Doyle, Muccianni, Taglia, Armour and WestWork's Ken Javor. I've painted houses with some of the finest painting contractors in this country. Just by working for and with some of these guys. And Ken Javor was one of the easiest and more talented contractors to work for. But I learned awesome things from all of them. Oak Park and surrounding communities are fortunate that Ken Javor is still in this business. With the possible exception of John Amberg of Experienced Painters......WestWork did some of the finest work interior and exterior that I saw anyone do. My vote is five *****

I called for a refrigerator repair person to fix my fridge. He came to my house 4 hours late and within two minutes said he could not fix my (3 year old) refrigerator. Then he said I owed him 75 dollars for his expertise. This is not a reputable business. He threatened to put a lien on my house if I didn't pay and was very disrespectful to me and my wife. The repair guy also tried to sell me some anti aging drink through his 'side job'. I called another company to come fix my fridge and they had it running in tip top shape in 15 minutes...now that's worth 75 dollars!!
Beware of this company. Steer clear and find someone else who knows what they're doing!!
Update: I called VILLIAGE APPLIANCE SERVICE and spoke to Nicole and Jesse. They both informed me any consumer who calls for their service will be charged $72.50 JUST FOR A TECH TO SHOW UP TO YOUR DOOR. Beyond that, you will have to pay more for a diagnosis....and A LOT more for a repair.
Please....do not call this service. Steer clear of this extremely shady business!!! Email me at rht463@yahoo.com for more info or verification. I will gladly tell you my story. Better yet, just don't call them.
