Desks that I love by Noir Manufacturers
Years and years ago when we first moved to LA and I was desperate to furnish our home on a shoe string budget I had heard about a place called Noir. This was a warehouse in Gardena that sold furniture exclusively to the trade, however, legend had it that if you knocked on their warehouse door with a wad of cash they wouldn't leave you out in the cold (or hot since we're talking about Gardena here). So I drove by myself FAR into Gardena and did just that. They let me in and I was AMAZED that they basically made everything for every decor store in Los Angeles. I bought some of my favorite pieces from them that still look amazing. Noir has since moved to the design center in LA where you need a pass and to be with a designer....now that's no fun! Here are some of my new favorites that will be smuggled into our home:
Gwyneth's new Brentwood home...
A couple of years ago at the Santa Monica Farmer's Market I ran smack into Gwyneth Paltrow and her lovely daughter Apple. I had a baby in my Baby Bjorn and at 7:30 am was feeling a little disoriented. I was literally face to face so I told her that I thought both she and her daughter were lovely. She smiled that beautiful pearly smile and said, "Thank you, and you too!" It was our moment. We live in the Palisades and Mandeville Canyon is right down Sunset from us. Here are the photos of her abode that I am loving:
I love the pebble driveway and the traditional exterior.
These plank wooden floors are gorgeous!
