An eco-friendly, US-made friendly new store with absolutely gorgeous home decor!

I was introduced to this store by the owners and I was really, really impressed when I looked at the website. They obviously have really great taste as anyone can see by their collection of found and vintage pieces - and some of their own designs! (Talented hubby even builds some of the furniture!}

Their philosophy is one I like as well - "We believe that homes should be a cultivation of things you love and need and we take that approach in finding our products. Our focus is on community and sustainability so we try to source as much as possible from small, u.s. companies and many of our furniture pieces are made from salvaged wood or repurposed pieces."

Below I've pulled a few of my favs. They also carry a lot of smaller home goods - candles, pottery, tea towels, etc.

Tips to get a "Modern Cottage" look

I love these tips from The Inglenook Decor on how to create a modern cottage.

1. Have a neutral back drop. Go for creams, white, beige, gray (like the one shown below), clay, sage & light browns.


2. Choose furniture pieces that are fuss-free. Go for clean lines & comfort. Make it livable & cozy like upholstered furniture whether it's the sofa, dining chairs or a headboard.

3. Have white....lots of it! This picture says it all, white is not boring if you choose the right pieces.


4. Have at least one piece, a wall or a window with a bold pattern & color. Bright orange & greens seem to go real well with white.

5. Have a ledge display of your flea market finds.

6. Add ultra modern pieces in steel, aluminum, brushed nickel or chrome pieces. And last but not the least,keep it simple!

Pretty good tips huh?

The site also has lots of cute accessories to create looks such as "French Country," "Modern Vintage," "Rococo," and "Shabby Chic."





Love these tealights


These mercury bottles mix modern with rustic

Atelier de Campagne

My love for French and Belgian Antiques is deep and true. I am not sure that I have found anyone in California that does it better than Atelier de Campagne.

I simply love everything they do. Someday I will make it to their container sale and gorge myself on beautiful Antiques...

Meeting Dan Marty....

So you can say it!  I am a designer groupie!!  I was so excited a few weeks back when I went to a warehouse sale - we were all lined up waiting to go inside and I turn around and what do you know - Dan Marty is standing right in front of me!  I was amazed..  I have never seen a super amazing wonderful designer  SHOPPING!!! Hello it was like a glimpse into a secret world.  A world where dreams come true... 

Anyway,  I asked for a picture and he was so very sweet and posed with me.  We chatted about his design business and his store and the blog.  It is such a nice thing to meet someone and have them be a truly nice person.  So now I love him more!!! 

The top pictures are of his store at the Design Center and his current space.  The bottom photos are of the sale and of my loot!..

Have a great day and may you meet a really sweet designer or other professional that you admire today!!
