Southern California seems to have a few to choose from but places such as Northern California, Texas, Chicago, Oregon, are in need of a place brides, photographers, event coordinators, can go and pick out some amazing one of kind pieces for their event, wedding, or photo shoot.

office monday....

On my mind today is my home office. Every one either has a home office or needs a home office. Don't you agree? I have never had a specific spot in my house I would call my "office". 
 I have been trying to design a home office in my head for days now but just can't figure out which direction I want to go. Off to the drawing board I went....or in my case, design websites, blogs, and google pictures in search of some inspiration. 
Who here has a home office and what was your style inspiration?

recycled, repurposed, restored

Today is all about vintage recycled, repurposed, restored {ETSY} finds! I personally think searching through {ETSY} for handmade items or unique vintage pieces is a must!
I suggest adding it to your To Do List immediately.
On {ETSY}, there is always so much to look at that it can get overwhelming, however, today every time I opened up a new page I fell in LOVE all over again! I can't tell you how many shops I have added to my FAVORITES!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE when people use black and white stripe fabric to recover mid century pieces!
Doesn't this chair found @ {Hazel and Hunter} just pop?
This was so not my grandma's couch! I need this for my next design project.
Old Crates turned into side tables! I am so adding this to my husbands To Do LIST!
How much are you dying for this vintage enamel medical cabinet from {amsuarezfl}?!!
It can be used for so many different purposes. 
I so see this in my daughters room as her changing table!
How cute are these matching arm chairs covered in vintage coffee sacks?
$622 for the pair! Check out @ {Blanaid}

This week on Craigslist

I wanted to share this weeks {Craigslist} finds!
When I am decorating my house or looking to find that vintage piece for my next event,
I always start on Craigslist.
I have to admit my whole house has been furnished from Craigslist, Flea Markets, Estate Sales, or Garage Sales, however, you would never know it.
Craigslist is definitely black or white for some. I have always had great experiences on Craigslist but there are those who have had horrible experiences and refuse to use it again
What they don't realize is Craigslist is the most popular online classified place to shop, trade, or sell.
There is a trick to using Craigslist...that however, is whole separate post! haha! Stay tuned...

My dream for years has been to find a Antique Louis Vuitton Trunk on Craigslist! Well guess what,
my dream came TRUE!

Listed yesterday
$12,500-Newport Beach, CA
Except my dream didn't include a price tag of $12,500! Dreams don't always come true. So sad!
Isn't she beautiful!
 
$80- Tustin, California
Okay, you all know my love of the Union Jack Flag but mixed with the WW2 saying
"Keep Calm and Carry On"..Who would sell this?! They have no idea how stylish this is!
$20obo-Santa Ana, California
That is a steal!! At that price you can totally afford to reupholstered it in a David Hicks La Florentina fabric, like the one below.
Antique French Pear Farm Table {1800's}
$875.00-Laguna Beach, California
$400-Hawaiian Gardens
Regency Vintage Tufted Headboard
