Recent Random Finds: Life-size Llama & friends

I've been a little tied up lately and I haven't been able to blog as often as I would like, so I have a bit of a backlog of recent random finds.  Please to enjoy.

Llama from Paul & Joe Sister.  Apparently the designer brought it over from France to decorate the store, but it is for sale.  For $3,500.  More than I can spend on a life-size llama, even one made from real llama wool.  But how great would this be in a kid's room... or my living room?  Want! 


I spotted this mirror at the open house of a gorgeous 1931 Spanish style home on Doheny just above Sunset.  It's a trust sale, and I believe the contents will be sold by Huntington Library? Really want! 



Stunning red bench, from a store on Beverly that I have somehow forgotten the name of - a first for me!



I do know that the store above is right by my favorite store on Beverly, E-Mosaik:





I just bought this "Eight-Arms Hook" from Anthropologie, $48, great for displaying jewelry, or for catching keys by an entryway:


Also spotted at Anthropologie, these amazing paintings in the background of a catalogue shoot. No idea who they are by, but I'd really love to know!




I stopped by a new store on Fairfax (previously on Melrose) yesterday called Jeff (529 N. Fairfax), and found another couple of items for my never-ending wish list!

Lucite towel or quilt holder, would also be great to display scarves or ties in a deluxe dressing room:




Incredible rocking... crib I guess?  With the right custom cushions, and maybe a paint job (maybe) I feel like this could actually be a great practical nursery item?  Love it!  $600:



Great brass coffee table:



How darling are these?  I've never seen anything like them!



Beautiful sconces, I believe $3,000 for the pair, or was it $3,000 each?!



Amazing eagle weathervane:


I introduced my parents to Wertz, and they loved it as much as I do.  "Heathcliff" went home with them:


As did these monkeys, which I really wanted to come home with me instead!


Love this painting:



This "cast iron Japanse lady" is kind of awesome:


Fabulous marble-topped table:


Really drawn to this, not sure why:






The "General" on the right was a gift to me from Mum & Dad, thanks parents!








Lastly this gorgeous headboard.  I can't for the life of me remember where I spotted it (bad blogger!), but I'd like to have something like it made one day...

All about Tile

I'm all about researching tile right now. Possibly due to the fact that we're interested in an adorable 1926 Spanish/ Mediterranean style house that's for sale that is very much in need of some new tile!

There's two ways we could go: traditional spanish tile or (since it's not a completely authentic Spanish style house) we could go with a more moroccan style tile. Some images that I've collected over the past few months:



















I love the "pasha" tile from Ann Sacks:








Below are some Moroccan tiles from Badia Design that are just gorgeous:















I'm definitely on a tile tear so there will be more tile related posts to come!
