Treehouse Gallery — Local services in Saint Petersburg

What a treat to the senses this eclectic store is! There is so much to see! Treehouse is the next best thing to shopping in Mexico for unique furnishings and decor. I have been visiting Treehouse for years! The owner and staff are so friendly and helpful. Not to mention generous-providing drinks and Mexican food, on the house, quite often for patrons. Mmmm the aroma and taste of Mexican food while one shops and chats. They are also socially responsible as they promote collections for specific needy causes. I find their business persona quite generous. Recently, I purchased a trellis which I inadvertently ran over in my driveway. It needed some spot welding. I called for a reference. Their local fellow repaired my trellis right away. Much to my surprise there was "No charge. That's how we role," I was told. It left me speechless. I think Treehouse exemplifies a true local, community business that cares about and serves their customers! If you have never visited, I highly recommend a stop for a unique experience and find a treasure...

Love this store!! We have bought a number of home decor items, but our absolute favorite piece is a rustic island for our kitchen that Laurie helped us custom design. It's gorgeous!! It's a large island, 8' x 3' and she brought up a lot of ideas that we hadn't thought about in order to make it function in the space and for what we use it for. Absolutely hands down recommend Tree House Gallery for their unique furniture and home decor and outstanding customer service! The guys that delivered the island were wonderful too! We ended up having to remove a window in our home because the island wouldn't fit through the door (1950's home) and they rolled with the punches and got the job done beautifully! We chose to put our own granite top on the island which will be installed shortly. Will post pics...

The furniture and artwork are unique, and the refreshments are a nice touch. We were welcomed in very nicely but after that one of the staff ladies with short hair followed us around and stood very close to us and simply stared, which made us too uncomfortable to purchase what we liked, focus on what they had there, or to even come back. We aren't sure if it was due to us having our service dog in our arms, or being a same sex couple, or assumed we didn't have money, we do not know why. We even tried to make conversation with her because she was following us so close, standing and staring at us. Her energy matched the employees in the shopping scene in Pretty Woman movie. Super awkward the entire time there, so...
