Mix Shade Store & More Delightfully Mixes it Up

Mix Shade Store & More in Montclair Village, Oakland CAFirst, let’s talk about the Shade Store. Owner, Pat Benson, has a thriving window covering consultancy. She offers free consultations and meets you at your home to discuss all manner of window covering solutions. No doubt, you’ll quickly see her expertise, attention to detail, and creative problem solving skills at work.

But she’s there to support you with home decor and design advice too. And, there’s even & More at her shop where she’s brought in a whole lot of eclectic–and even some one-of-a-kind–& More. Visit her retail store to develop your own ideas and get inspired. Shop for furniture and home decor and accessories. You might even find perusing unique scarves, hats, handbags and wallets, locally designed and crafted jewelry, or other delightful surprises.

Can we say that she has really mixed it up? Yes. I guess we can.
