“Lucy and her husband are amazing at Riva Chic! Beautiful, unique pieces at amazing prices. She also does customization if you have a piece you would like to redo. Shop local, shop small!”

“The chest that we purchased for my wife's sewing materials is incredibly sturdy; the makeover performed by the artist truly transformed and old piece into something highly desirable. The service was fast, friendly and pricing is extremely fair. This new shop is a very welcome addition to La Grange's arts community and to the reviving downtown.”

“I haven’t even been in the store yet and have already bought two pieces. When my husband brought home the cabinet I purchased, I loved it even more than I did from the pictures! Very quality piece and refurbished beautifully! I can’t wait to visit the store in person!”

“We just bought a home in Natchez and did not move any of our furniture from Phoenix. Riva Chic was a fabulous find. We bought a dresser for the main bedroom, a buffet that we are using as a tv console, a nightstand for the main bedroom, a sofa table, a nightstand for a guest room and cute matching decor. In October we are on the schedule to have two nightstands "Lucy-fied". We are looking forward to them getting the magic touch and blending into our distressed farmhouse/shabby chic decor. Follow Riva Chic on Facebook for new items weekly, but don't think too long or it will be gone. I learned that the hard way. Riva Chic is a gem in Natchez.”
