SoCo Collection Costa Mesa

Over the weekend I made a visit to the SoCo Collection Design Center in Costa Mesa, CA. It’s a little jem of a place for interior designers to go to get inspiration for client projects. The center is open to the public as well and continues to grow with some of the biggest names in the industry including Stark Carpet and Design Within Reach. The Mix is another part of the center with trendy and unique shops of fashion, art and amazing restaurants. Every Saturday they also have a wonderful Farmers Market that is worth the visit.

Inside The OC Mart Mix you will find shops and dining and discover local talent. The interior design is green with a lot of reclaimed wood, metals and unique lighting fixtures.

The Cellar Cheese Shop

Some of my favorites are:

I love the way the owner of Peinture displays the different chalk paint colors on the wall of chairs. She also offers workshops on painting techniques every month. Be sure to visit their website for more information.

A beautifully finished piece by the owner, Deborah Cooper.

Hope you are inspired and discover the new SoCo Collection Design Center for yourself. You won’t be disappointed.

Headboards

I have been a fan of this company for awhile now and just adore their furniture line. My Chic Nest has some of the most unique furniture pieces including sofas, chairs and benches that I’ve seen which are actually affordable. I love their headboards and have specced them for a client before. Their headboards make a grand focal to any bedroom and are offered in many colors to suit your décor needs. Today I have pulled together a few of my favorites for you.

Children’s Art

Sometimes I like to scour Etsy for unique finds for the home. Today I found a talented artist by the name of Emily Elizabeth, she has a really cute shop called EE Harrison Art Studio. She creates personalized and affordable art prints, posters and more. I put together some of my favorite pieces of her children’s art that she sells. Take a look at her shop to view more of her fun artwork.
