Girly Girly

She has to be the rudest human I have ever come in contact with. I was interested in purchasing a piece that was posted online. She only provided the height of it and I needed it to fit in a small space in my bathroom so I asked if she could provide me the other dimensions. Her response: «.it is my expereince in ten years .that girls who ask for measurements never ever purchase… its a tall small square end table with lots of storage. little confused about the measurements». Plenty of people desire measurements when shopping for furniture. I will never even think to buy something from this shack again.

When I went the door was closed but the store hours said it was open… so I knocked and walked in only to find some weirdo laying on a couch in just his underwear! So o shut the door and he peeked his head out and said are you going to buy something and I told him o wanted to check out the furniture and he said no! And slammed the door in my face…

Rob may be different… but all good artists are. If you want something truly unique this is a great spot to look. Call and make an apt or go to his website. Its worth it even if you have to deal with a man who marches to the beat of his own drum! And yes… you can make pieces like this on your own… but if your not crafty or do not have the time… that is why we call Rob.

This guys has some OK pieces but you have to be willing to be abused and judged by his sour attitude. When I decided I couldn’t afford the piece I was looking at he was very mad and really rude. Shabby Chic isn’t that hard to do yourself so I would recommend doing that rather than going to this guy. Just you tube a couple how to videos, by the heavy grit sand paper, and buy the white wash pickling paint from home depot. It is takes time but not talent.

Girly Girly is a great little place. He does a great job giving furniture that «knocked off’ shabby chic look and the rose pull handles he uses are to die for! I had a great experience at this store and will be going back for more! Love it!

Not open during store hours. Not awesome.

I wish I could give this place negative stars. I live in the neighborhood & always wanted to check it out. My roommate loves the kind of style shown in the window display & Christmas was the perfect opportunity to find something for her. If only I could get thru the front door. I walked up almost an hour after it was supposed to open. A barefoot man standing in the middle of an overcrowded closet-​sized space was putting stuff together. I wearily asked if he was open. He went back to business & turned his back, saying he was just opening up. Okayyy. Then he asked if I was looking for furniture. Furniture? I may be in the market for a new piece, but had also seen all sorts of knickknacks on the display. As I stepped inside I told him I was going to browse (I didn’t know what I was getting myself into). He abruptly stopped and blocked my way– Then no, I’m not open then. Uh, excuse me? Are you serious?! «Yes, I am. How am I supposed to get any business if I just let people come in to look around? I can’t support myself like that. If you don’t have intentions of buying anything, you can’t come in.» I. Was. Floored. I had never been treated this way, especially when trying to support a local vendor & wanted to wait around for the hidden cameras to be revealed. Instead I said «Wooowwww. Not anymore I don’t. Merry Christmas sir» and left without ever seeing a single item. What a shame.

A truly fab place to shop shabby chic in SD! The owner is a little coo coo but he has the most amazing stuff. He refinishes his own furniture items, and also has a million cute knicknacks, etc. Very affordable as well!

I love Girly Girly and can’t believe that there isn’t a review for it yet. Mike, the owner, keeps the shop open a variety of hours and it is sometimes hit or miss to catch him. But, when you do… you are in for a major treat!
I love anything shabby chic and his items are absolutely decadent. He has a handful of chests, drawers, nightstands, tables and a host of other things that he has hand chosen and restored himself. His pieces are gorgeous! His prices are extremely affordable considering the similar items I saw in Ocean Beach during my last furniture shopping excursion.
I would recommend popping into Girly Girly if you are looking for some hot shabby chic pieces or looking for a one of a kind item!
