Carlos Quintanilla & Alex Iglesias

We opened Samsara Home eight years ago on May 31st, 2014, after Alex left the corporate world. Juan Carlos’ furniture refurbishing hobby was expanding quickly out of our home, and clients started asking, “where is your store?” This was the beginning of our storefront in downtown Parkville MO.

When deciding on what to call our store, we discovered the Sanskrit ‘Samsara,’ which means the continuation of things in life – in other words, “the circle of life”. So, with the old furniture Juan Carlos brought back to life, we knew Samsara was the perfect name and concept. After eight years, the store has evolved to include new, vintage, antiques, and transformed items to give customers more interesting choices.

Our products include home accessories, furniture, seasonal florals and decor, lighting, artwork, local hand-crafted candles, pottery, area rugs, and much more. We also offer interior design services, home remodeling and seasonal decorating.

What sets us apart is the personalized services that we offer to make sure our clients are satisfied with the final product.

Nothing about retail stores or small businesses is easy but the beauty is about how we overcame the problems and continue to grow. Parkville & Kansas City have been a supportive community, especially during difficult economic times.
