A couple weekend's ago, Nick & I went to Santa Monica and we stopped upon this amazing antique store, Wertz Brothers. Typically the antique stores I go to are filled with stuff thrown into each space, which is fine - there's usually a lot of it and not any good way to display. So the moment I walked into this store, I thought it had a different feel and was so amazed because each space was so thoughtfully designed, with lots of great effort put into display.
It was sort of like an anthropologie-antique-vintage display of goodness! Not only was each booth so nice looking, but all the pieces for sale within the spaces were so unique - I was so overwhelmed with wanting everything I looked at.
So worth the visit since a lot of the items were so unique, I hadn't seen a lot of the items anywhere before!
Nick found some jumbo scisssors!
Would love to have this cubby shelf.
But it was $1000 or something, bummer!
on Sunday, I went back with Lillian because I really wanted to show
her this shop. We also did some shopping at Melrose Trading Post.
Love these shots, and the store looks really great:)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day,bye

ReplyDeleteI am also an avid fan of antiques they are so amazing the design and the value of it in antique kansas city you will surely find great treasure in affordable price. Last weekend i went there and found out that they are very helpful and courteous what a great experience.
ReplyDeleteAs of this moment I have a new dream - having a store like this one, or even working at one, I don't mind :) I am sure it would be very hard for me to spend less than an hour there :)))
ReplyDeleteThanks Danni for posting about this store! After reading your post my husband and I decided to check it out because we live in Los Angeles. We loved the store, it was so much fun to walk through! We wrote about our own experience on our blog.
