gorgeous! especially love how the landscaping thoughtfully complements the space. fantastic.

LOVE this store. the designs are gorgeous, comfortable and functional. and a nicer group of salespeople you cannot meet. (owner included).... fantastic place!

solid advice.
you should also make time to feed yourself lunch while preparing dinner. otherwise, you can turn cranky and stressed out much faster.

thanks again for SUCH sweet comments. i love you all!

here are some answers to questions:

@ Some Girl With a .Com: pico is a chihuahua / dachshund/terrier mix. there are a lot of these kinds of awesome dogs stuck in shelters right now, unfortunately. if you are in the la area, i volunteer for a dog rescue organization, and would be happy to facilitate an adoption!

@ brooklynbeetle: the bedspread is from fold bedding: http://foldbedding.com
the company is run by some really really nice people.

@ccatx : there are lots of similar paintings on ebay if you do a search for “mid century paintings”...good luck!

@ Danny & Carlos : i got the planter years ago from EQ3. i believe they have since gone out of business, unfortunately. perhaps a challenging diy project for you?

@ swtvi65: the gold mirror above the bed is from pottery barn from a few years back

@maurício : not sure what floor lamp you are referring to? the stove is a viking.

@86753oh9 : the ‘social media’ art are posters. not sure of the source, unfortunately. they were a (very great) gift.

@ AmandARose@: our dogs are definitely related!

@ aharris92: the bathroom rug is from jonathan adler...they have tons of colors & patterns to choose from.

@ fourandtwenty : they are indeed 2 mirrors of the same style, from pottery barn. loved them too much to pass up. i assure you, this is how my house looks...but usually a tad more messy!

@ aprilheartsaaron: i scored the mirror from a yard sale in santa monica about 8 years ago. i paid $5 for it. sorry i can’t provide any more info about them. wish i had 10 more!

wow. you are all so positive & fabulous. THANKS for all the encouraging comments.

@Ivan Velinov - we warmed up the dining room with bright artwork in oranges, reds & yellows, which you can't see in the photos. otherwise, yes, would have been counter productive!

@ thekinseysix - you can find out more about how the planters were created here:

@mandyb - highly highly recommend Flor tiles. wish i invented them.

@RichinNJ - considering that our little Pico was rescued dodging traffic in a seedy part of town, yes, i do believe its the best house he's lived in!

thanks again, everyone. you have made my day.

how about links that go DIRECTLY to the zines? its really frustrating having to be a super sleuth to find them.

@orly - thanks for sharing. awesome story.

I was a big fan of Lori's previous store, and am so happy she started another place of her own. she has an amazing eye & is a fantastic curator of furniture & art.

those chairs are very comfortable. while they are considered "peasant chairs" in mexico, and are very cheap there, they go for around $375 each in los angeles. i was lucky enough to get some for much less in palm springs, but, as i understand it, they go for at least $300 in the states.
they sell them at pot-ted on los feliz blvd at www.pot-ted.com

this home was featured in modernism magazine about 5 years ago. it was the exact same photo as the first fireplace shot, too. that's weird.
