Atelier...




For the past few months I have been considering seriously moving into a little studio space to spread out a little bit.  I would love to have a studio or shop in the front with an office and then a design space in the back for work.  Things around here are very busy and I have not had the time to really think this through.  I am curious to know if you have an office, shop or studio that you rent/own?  If you do how do you like it?  Would you recommend it?  I can use all the input that I can get!

I love this space with the industrial furnishings and the warm feeling of the flooring texture what a great and inspiring workspace.

Shopping on La Cienega: Lee Stanton Antiques



This pair of vintage leather chairs made my heart race- they were so fantastic- definitely on my wish list for this lifetime!




Lee's displays were so clean and balanced, making it easy to see everything that I wanted!






Lee has his own upholstery line that is just as great as any vintage piece he had in the shop.














While visiting La Cienega I was lucky enough to stop by Lee Stanton Antiques, I was completely in love with his shop!  I had the pleasure of meeting Lee while I was there and we chatted about antiques and shopping in Europe.  He is so nice and his taste is impeccable!  The shop is filled with beautiful pieces that are displayed as you would in your own home, sleek and sophisticated.

If you are in LA La Cienega is a must see and you have to stop in Lee's shop to see what is new, or old for that matter.  Don't forget to say hello to his sweet little pup while you are there too!

Shopping on La Cienega: Kristen Buckingham



 




The Entry door was my favorite inside and out.






Loved the pocket doors in black also- just a nice little surprise.





On my last visit to La Cienega I had the pleasure of visiting  the Kristen Buckingham showroom.  It was full of eye candy!  The exterior paint was my favorite and reminded me of being in Paris where each shop seems to have it's very own style.

Inside was like a treasure chest of mixed styles and colors!

Shopping in Paris: Merci



Their natural linen bedding was amazing!







I fell in love with those lights, if they were wired for the US I would have bought a few to clip over artwork.





This is a display of a table and chairs hanging on the wall by the stairs, I love that bag!



Baby Tolix chairs



Cafe in the basement level.






While in Paris we visited Merci.  This was the first time that I have been to the store and it was so fun!

It was 3 floors of great housewares, furniture, clothing, jewelry, stationary, bedding and accessories.  They had an Urban Picnic theme going on which was very cool, with all types of reusable flatware, dishes etc.  I did not have time to visit the little library/cafe area though sadly, it looked so cool (you can see it in this last picture that I took while we were outside).  

  I will be back for sure and start earlier because I love stores like this one with unique pieces and beautiful displays!  If you are moving to Paris and want some goodies to fill up your place I think this would be a great place to start- the basement level has some super great pieces (like the tolix chairs- even kids chairs) and they are reasonable too!

I highly recommend it if you are visiting the city there is something for everyone!
