Shopping in North Hollywood

A couple of weeks ago, I made a trip to So. California.  My family lives there and it's fun to shop with my mom and sisters.  Our final full day, we made a trip to North Hollywood to visit these little hole-in-the-wall shops my sister loves!  They had some pretty great finds - it was almost enough to wish I'd driven to SoCal, rather than flew!!  :)

 Loved the style of these chairs.  The fabric looks a lot trendier in the picture than in person, but they were solid as a rock and would easily have been worth re-upholstering.

Last year I worked on the Street of Dreams and we used acrylic chairs in the dining area.  While shopping for the chairs, I came across tons of great looks in the original version - Lucite!  This is one of a pair of fabulous Lucite chairs.  Never mind the tacky 1980's car upholstery on the seats...picture a fantastic white leather or something completely off the wall...zebra?  Pink fur?  And while I was extolling the virtues of the white leather I would have put on the chairs, we wandered next door and look what was in front of THAT one???

Sadly, there was only one of these...had there been two, I might just have rented a car for the trip home.

And last, in the Lucite category was the very retro table - 40's or 50's maybe?  Solid slap of Lucite - very thick - with legs in the oddest place.  Not at the four corners but on the four sides.  And the legs were solid brass.  Very interesting.

It was hard to photograph this...very tight quarters and three coffee tables stacked high.
