Shabby, Ultra Chic

I was in Venice, CA on Abbot Kinney Blvd yesterday.
 I couldn't resist taking a few photos at the home decor store, Bountiful:

The store and all its back rooms are packed with treasures.
There are even couches, armoires and statues of saints (!) in the rafters:

The front of the building still displays an old hardware store sign.
But it doesn't take long to figure out that this place isn't selling hammers and nails...

It's incredibly expensive. (You could spend $20,000 on a couple of columns...)

But it's really a feast for the eyes...

What a feast for the eyes! I have always wanted to make it to that fabulous store. You just reminded me to get out of Orange County! Thanks.

Happy Holidays,

I have a set of photos sitting in a file somewhere from last time I went to this store! Unfortunately, I've never even purchased anything here, but the eye candy alone keeps luring me back. Those cake stands.... yowza. On my wishlist (along with about 100 other things)
