Plain Jane’s Consignments

Such a great find in Sonoma! On our way up Hwy 12 to go wine tasting, and passed this brightly painted store, had to turn around and check it out. Lots of wonderful gently-​used items — home, kitchen, garden. and I finally found the perfect clock I’d been searching for! The salespeople were very nice and helpful, really know the inventory.
We’ll definitely be back soon!

We had some almost new items (6 dining room chairs) as well as some older items. We are 2 blocks away and they charged us $ 20 to pick them up, which, at the time we were OK with. They told us they would keep on sale for 90 days, and if they didn’t sell, they would donate to charity. We never heard back. No idea if they sold our merchandise and never told us, never found out if they donated. Once they have your stuff, you never hear back. A little suspisious they sold the stuff and keep the cash.
I wouldn’t use them again.
Also, think the paint job is horrible. I was hoping for more upscale on Hwy 12, not clowntown.

I have purchased a few things from this store that were lovely. But since the store front has been painted in odd clashy colors, I honestly can’t make myself walk inside anymore — the whole look of the store scares me away. The real sadness though… I can’t really absorb what’s actually being displayed outside anymore — there’s too much going on — it’s a visual «fight» since the walls are just THAT busy, so I look away now. Sad for the store, since I represent a group of customers who really did drive by every day and glance over– always on the look-​out for interesting things to purchase. I don’t look anymore.

Plan Jane’s is a second hand store located next to La Michocana ice cream on Hwy 12. The store gets new items often, which I like, and is pretty much 1 big room to browse through. They do not accept donations. The store always, always, has help on hand and they are very nice and easy to talk to. The majority of items I’ve seen have been home and garden furnishings and furniture pieces as opposed to household kitchen items and clothing. Some items need small touches to be brought back to life and are priced well. Not too many shabby items (ugly ducklings so to speak) that need fixing. If your looking for that type of item there are a few other second hand shops were you may be in luck. Heres the weird thing… it has a «parking lot» with 1 space. Once you get in it though youre pretty much driving off a curb to get out. That’s my biggest pet peeve about this location. They did not figure out parking and don’t seem to be interested in doing so anytime soon. Also not to wild about the eye popping paint job they just completed. Lets just say you shouldn’t miss it if your eyes are open. Ha! If you like to hunt and browse add this as a place to check out!

this is a great thrift/​consignment store! Their prices are very reasonable and they have a great selection of furniture, glassware, rugs and misc. fun items. The people that run the place are super nice. Much better finds than a basic thrift store with prices not much higher if at all. Check it out!

It’s been years since I last visited Plain Jane’s and I always had the idea that it was super expensive in my mind. I recently went back and was pleasantly surprised by their selection and how reasonable their prices were. I will definitely make this a stop on my thrift shop rounds!

Plain Jane’s is just plain amazing! Perfect place to look for furniture and home décor. Stock changes constantly. I ALWAYS find something I didn’t know I needed! Prices are super low. Highly recommend!

Over the years I have shopped at Plain Jane’s and furnished my house with many terrific finds. Years later I made big life changes and got rid of nearly everything, much of it here. In a load of goods I took in was a shoebox full of old «silverplate» utensils. Not having used them for years I’d forgotten they were actually sterling silver. Jane could have easily sold them for what they are — silver — and not told me otherwise, but when I went to collect payments from her I was delighted to learn I’d been mistaken. We both made out on that deal!
I appreciate Jane’s honesty. She could have made a killing on that one, but she did what a less-​scrupulous person may not have done. Great deals keep me coming back to Plain Jane’s, and now I go in with an even greater joy and respect, knowing I will have a fun time looking around even if I am not buying.
Shop here! It is worth it on many levels!

Some Plain Jane advice: Do a walk through first so you can get all the «oh muh GUHS» out of the way because there is crazy stuff here. After you get the gawking out of your system, roll up your sleeves and jump right in — move stuff around and push crap out of the way. I promise you will find treasures galore. My skeptical friend rolled her eyes at me when we walked in and saw pair of Raggedy Ann and Andy pictures, but jumped for joy when she discovered a butter dish she had been wanting for months. Ahem — just to clarify, Plain Jane’s was my idea… so I kind of saved the day.
I found a great occasional table, solid wood, for $ 68. There were a few marks on it but overall in excellent shape and I have the perfect place to put it in our house.

I still stand by my original review, LOVE PLAIN JANE’S!

I have only walked out of this place once without buying anything and I have been coming here once a week for four months. Needless to say a great place! I usually go in there just looking and find so many great things. Some of the ladies there are very nice and funny. Whenever my husband and I are at the store and I say I need a pitcher or a picture for a wall he now says just go to Plain Jane’s. Mostly everything is reasonably priced, and sometimes when we find something over priced we will try and talk them down. I believe they mark there products down after it has been there for two months. I love coming here, it’s like a treasure hunt!

great prices and fantastic selection of goods, staff is not very friendly… maybe they were having a bad day. I will shop here regularly since I wasn’t there for socializing anyways and bought the cutest chair!

A small space in an odd location packed with an assortment of furniture and knick knacks for the home. I NEVER walk out of this place without something. The items are moderately priced and their split is competitive. On a recent trip I purchased a pre-​lit faux topiary planter, which normally retails for close to $ 100 in PB or Ballard. I stole it for $ 20.00. They also price their throw pillows very low… so forget about Ross/​Marshalls, just hit «Jane’s» for a fraction of the cost. The furniture seems to be overpriced, but then again I’m no fine furniture/​antique expert… I guess I feel that Craiglist is the very best place to find second hand pieces at a great price. Jane can be a bit abrasive, but she has two sisters (I have no clue if they’re her sisters) who work there that are FABULOUS and fun. They always point out great new stuff and give advice and creative ideas. This is my one-​stop shopping point to spruce up a room. Take one step though the front door and all of your shabby chic dreams will be answered!
