All you need is a cigarette holder and a pair of black stiletto heels and you can channel your inner icon. I thought you might need a smile, laugh, and jolt of humor right about now for Halloween!
I noticed this blush rose couture robe at Bon Bon Home & Garden, part of Encinitas Westlake Design District , an industrial warehouse row turned swank home design central. Worth a visit at least once a month for inspiration and “you never know treasures.” If planning a visit, please call the business to make sure they are open and/or to book a specific appointment time.
At Westlake Design District, there is C’est la Vie Antiques, where I found my English Farmhouse Dining Table (Circa 1860) and School House Benches (Circa 1900), as well as my 19th Century French Country Buffet (Circa 1850). If you are fans of Patina Farm, Steve and Brooke Giannetti shop at C’est la Vie for antiques and architectural elements. At Bellini’s Antica Italia, I found a perfect tabletop vintage fruit bowl statuary piece. C’est Si Bon has really perfected the art of vignettes! Tucked in between is Leucadia Upholstery, (tel) (760) 479-0179. Owner Francisco Salgado, is an artisan wizard at upholstery, able to suggest eye opening French tucks and pewter tack details off the top of his head. He has done all of my upholstery, slip covers, and decorative pillows.
Where do you shop for your treasures? I find you usually come across your treasures when you least expect it, and when you are not looking for them. It is not a Trick, but a Treat! Happy Halloween!
