California Made: Natural Curiosities

 

I was so excited to see Natural Curiosities studio featured on Apartment therapy, as I have not had a chance to get up there yet.  When I say them in Las Vegas I made a tentative arrangement to go up to their studio for a tour and to take photos... I still have it on my list but this is a great little sneak peek into their amazing and creative space.  I love just about everything that they do and this is a great inspiration for the creatives on their team, fun, funky and eclectic. Artwork speaks volumes in an interior and Natural Curiosities pieces are always a little bit special and creative.

{shop design} Rag and Bone, Los Angeles

 

Yesterday while I was in LA I had a chance to visit the Rag and Bone store on Melrose... I love a well done shop!   Rag and Bone is set up in an older building with access from the front as well as either end.  The doors were fantastic and they added just enough industrial detail to the exterior to make, what I am assuming was a pretty odd building, look really cool.  (Glass block is not usually on my approved materials list but it works here).  All of the industrial furnishings were mixed with their logos and labels that made them part of the brand itself and I loved the mix of vintage and classic lighting.

Modern grey in Los Angeles...

 

We all wonder what it would be like to own a villa in California...  this would be a perfect way to keep it feeling down to earth and beautiful.  I love the clean lines, the natural light is amazing and the simple color palette makes it very appealing.

Finding inspiration at the LA mart... January

I truly enjoy going to market, no matter where you go it is very inspirational.  There are so many talented creative minds that work on the showrooms it is really a treat to see most of the time.  This past weekend we visited the LA Mart for the show and found some great new pieces and some really great displays.  

Two's and Tozai never disappoint!  This book display was amazing!

 

The Walls in this room were painted gold and were super cool.

 

Love the paper runner- great idea!

 

I think I need this even if I have no place for it, so sculptural and cool!

 

Our best seller the star pendant with mirror.. love!

 

This is my favorite chandelier and I have been desperately trying to find a special place for something like this.. I know that one day it will happen.

I am off to Las Vegas for the furniture show there today, wish me luck!

The Shop by H. Bleu

 

Yesterday I had a chance to go up to Venice (I have lived in California all my life and never been to Venice, Ca.  I have been to Venice, Italy though - weird huh) to meet with Susan from H. Bleu.  Susan is creating a custom wall treatment or art piece for me in a project that I am working on, I am so excited!  Her shop was so fun and creative, she is super talented and has a love for all things vintage.   We had a chance to chat, which is my favorite thing to do with creative people, I could go on for hours.  Susan was also nice enough to direct me to a cute neighborhood where I could get some lunch and shop.... more on that coming next week.

 

This is the style of the piece she is making for me - I cannot wait to see mine in the space!  One of my favorite things about design is being able to work with people who can make what is in my head part of real life.  There are so many talented artists and designers out there and I so enjoy a collaboration like this.
