Shop Design: Alchemy Works Los Angeles

 

Yesterday we spent the day in LA running errands and taking our first calligraphy class.  It was nice to have a bit of extra time to enjoy the arts district of the city a little.  3rd Street has some fun little shops and restaurants and I fell in love with the Alchemy Works shop.  It was a fun little eclectic shop with the cutest fiat in the middle and fantastic merchandising.

Merci Paris goes green and yellow for Spring

 

One of our favorite shops Merci in Paris changes it up for Spring this year.  They have switched out the little red mini for green grass, a yellow farm truck and beautiful flowers.  I am sure it is so amazing to see in person.  The switch was made with the expertise of  David Jeannerrot and the team at Les Mauvaises Graines, check out their interview with him here.  Just another reason to stop by the shop if you are visiting Paris, it has become a destination in itself,  and make sure you take a few moments to have a snack in their little bookshop cafe too if you are there.

Currently: Outdoor lounging

Spring is upon us, even if it does not seem like it quite yet, and everyone has come out with their latest outdoor furniture designs.  I love this time of year when it is still a little to early to spend all of your time outside but you can steal moments in the sunshine...

These are just  few of my favorites for a little pick me up outside..

1. Love this modern take out outdoors from West Elm with teak wood.

2.  When we were in Puerto Rico a while back I fell in love with the furnishings at the resort.  They had a bunch of pieces that were made of different cording materials and aluminum.  This little Huron sofa reminds me of that.  Adore it.

3. Palecek makes a great group of all weather wicker pieces.  These make me think of the great combinations we see in European gardens of sturdy wood tables and modern dining chairs.. 

4.  Need an extra seat?  This wicker stool has a swivel to it.

5.  Great little sofa from World Market.  Great price, perfect color and simple clean lines. Love.

6. Peacock chairs are so so fun.  They remind me of being a kid (we had one in our bedroom).  This piece from Anthropologie is perfection- check out the blue colorway!

Flea Market Sunday {Long Beach}

 

We spent the better part of yesterday at the flea market in Long Beach.  Our intention was to find a new dining table and chairs for my little sister, we were partially successful and managed to pick up a lot of amazing pieces along the way.  It turned out to be a beautiful and very busy day....

 

I wanted this little sofa pretty bad but without a specific location and a high price I had to pass it up sadly... sometimes that's how it goes, the shape was so sweet.

 

I have to believe that there is a little something for everyone at the flea market...honeycombs- fur letters whatever you might need.

 

I picked up this little vintage vest... we always take pictures of one another when we cannot find a mirror to look in, just to be sure.

 

I completely loved the display @junkstyle put together- so so cute!

 

Pillows and gold..

 

Blankets and rugs everywhere.

 

This piece is perfect inspiration for a project that I am starting to design.

 

The boys always get it right... 

 

More bags than I knew what to do with.

 

Meet my new dream, the duffel is on my list.

 

My sister's new table is amazing..

 

And then we relaxed... pretty much perfect.
