LA2Day article, email newsletter and tons of new stuff!

Okay, so we have some awesome customers.  And some of those awesome customers have been secretly (or not so secretly) writers for some of the really big lifestyle and design blogs and websites around town.  We've had a couple of really cool write ups that I thought I'd mention.

First, here's the most recent one, from LA2Day.com.  Gwen Barba was the writer, and she was a sweetheart.  I've pasted the text from the article below.  You probably already know about LA2Day.com, but if not, it's a huge lifestyle website with articles on everything.  We were spotlighted on their design focus section.

Thanks, Gwen!

Okay, we got a lot of new stuff, so I should probably talk about that, too.

Like this retro green bowl.  We have a TON of unique, vintage plates, dishes, bowls, breadbaskets, glasses, ashtrays and other stuff that you won't find anywhere else.  They are unique vintage pieces that will make great color splashes in your kitchen or dining room.

Or this strange yellow standing lighter.  I almost want to smoke, just so I can have this sitting on a side table.

A really great danish modern coffeetable, with display space for your coffeetable books.  the lines of the table and the splayed legs would be stylish in any room, but especially a midcentury room.

I have a soft spot for vintage steel pieces.  The desk in my office is a huge Steelcase desk that weighs about a million pounds.  This old metal file cabinet is both useful and an interesting vintage centerpiece in a room.

Alexis had to beat somebody away from this chair to get it.  That's all I'm gonna say.  The vintage furniture business can get ugly.  But he came away with this piece, and it's going to look amazing in someone's living room.

I usually hate anything woven or wicker-like, but these are great.  If someone doesn't snatch them up, they might go in my house.

Saturated color, good lines...these won't last long.

Okay,...cute! 

 

These fiberglass chairs always go quickly, especially ones in good shape like this, and in a color that will complement any color scheme.

Okay, and my favorite thing of the recent purchases.  If I had room for this in my house, you wouldn't be seeing it here.  I love the industrial look, and this is a huge, industrial Sonrisa style cabinet.  (Yes, I love Sonrisa, but their stuff is really expensive.)

There are a ton more online, so check out the website.  And if you haven't already, sign up for our email newsletter!  And thanks for being a part of making our business so much fun for us.
