Few Minutes of TV Fame on NBC

Vanves Flea Market; Paris

NBC's 1stLook producers approached us about a segment they were compiling about all things French. Their best of the best throughout the country included a clothing store in NYC, restaurant in Texas, foodie haven in Los Angeles and home decor featuring...well... US!  

Honored and thrilled.

We hope you enjoy!

Vintageweave on NBC 1/21/12!

SMILE YOU'RE ON CAMERA!

Set your DVR's, TIVO's and VCR tapes...... 

Vintageweave will be on NBC's LXTV 1st Look airing nationwide on NBC, January 21, 2011.

The producers approached us for a feature focused on 'Living The French Lifestyle'. Needless to say, we were honored to be one of only two spots in Los Angeles featured (Vintageweave and  Monsieur Marcel in the Los Angeles Farmer's Market), along with a couple of incredible spots in NYC. Check local listings as it airs twice that day, once right after SNL. We're told it airs in all major markets but this is all we know as of now:

• In Los Angeles: 7:30p and again immediately following Saturday Night Live (Channel 4)
• In NYC/Chicago: immediately following SNL (so technically on 1/22)

The beauty is the video will be in the NBC Universal LXTV archives forevermore; we shall be sure to post a link in another blog post once it airs.  ♥

It's a really great show so be sure to follow LXTV 1st Look all season long. We're huge fans!  


Thanks to all of those who have believed in Vintageweave, followed me on my passionate journey, and supported us during these last six beautiful years. We are mainly a private appointment boutique in Los Angeles (Hollywood area) but offer public hours on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday noon-4, and some Sundays by chance 12:30-4. For your convenience you may always shop online at vintageweave.com 24/7--we ship worldwide! Bisous mes amies!!

The French Strike is Over thus Treasures have Arrived!

I'VE BEEN A TERRIBLE BLOGGER LATELY!

Apologies....the cup has really runneth over but I've just now bobbed up for air!

Many, many photoshoots with a variety of magazines (details in 2011 when they are about to hit the stands) and lots and lots of design jobs for clients all over Southern California (Malibu, Hidden Hills, Palm Springs, Ojai, and around Los Angeles). The new store location has proved exceptionally busy so there's that, too.  All exciting and wonderful!  I'm now thinking of obtaining stock in Vitamins-R-Us.

A shout out to the editors and designers who have visited us lately, especial Jacqueline deMontravel of Romantic Homes and Danny Seo, doing all sorts of great things with InStyle Home.  Thanks to all the really dedicated bloggers who host such great blogs, such as Aimme at Garden To Remember who interviewed me for her lovely, lovely blog.

We've welcomed some new staff (HELLO SUZANNE AN JILLY) just in time for the holiday madness....speaking of which ==

SAVE THE DATE!! 

 Vintageweave Interiors' Holiday Soiree

Sunday, November 21, 2010

noon-5ish

7928 West 3rd Street

But best of best, we've finally received our container after all the mess with the French strike. Come see our bounty in the boutique or visit with us online at Vintageweave Interiors!!

Why God Invented the French Press

It's been a weary several weeks....far too much to do and far too little time in which to do it to perfection.

I'm guilty. Stress to get it right is self imposed...will stay up until the wee hours for days on end to get it all done JUST SO.

Where to begin? The month has been TREMENDOUS and I'm feeling exceptionally blessed.

Product for showroom displays to Ralph Lauren - Beverly Hills, Ralph Lauren-Greenwich, Joie NYC and Joie Paris, Anthropologie, furniture + accessories for a private Hollywood supper club, and many other retail windows and showroom displays. WHAT FUN!

Mini website redo, plan next buying trip to Paris, work on client's kitchen and study....weeeeeee goes the merry-go-round! {I LOVE IT}  Corporate orders have been on the rise and 170 of these beauties were recently sourced and shipped in record time to meet a most important deadline...

The latest excitement is a top celebrity designer has named VINTAGEWEAVE INTERIORS as a favorite source so HGTV is filming a teensy weeny segment with us...

DUST! CLEAN! VACUUM! FUSS! FUSS! ARRANGE! EDIT! NEW INVENTORY DISPLAY!  You name it, we did it...til the wee, wee hours of the morn.

(Both manicure and pedicure are, um, OFFICIALLY DESTROYED!)  Toes in the Pacific Ocean with my Man will be on the agenda next  (as soon as we get all these orders out and the container unloaded and the Cote Bastide replenished!)

Did I mention lately how UTTERLY FAB and AMAZING my team of helpers are in every inch of their fabulous souls???  I am planning a special thank you picnic just for the lot of them...Something French. Something Bubbly. Something with baguettes, foie gras and vintage red linens.

I once overheard on the Tube in London: "Sleep is for the bored." So it's official. I'M NOT BORED!  Besides...isn't that why God invented the FRENCH PRESS????  Supersize mine, gentle giant.
Bonne Nuit

I *HEART* OPRAH

....and Danny Seo, and Kerry Washington!!

Well now you know why the blogging has been so remiss---the power of Oprah hit us two years ago and then again this past month. IT'S BEEN MAHEM! WONDERFUL, BEAUTIFUL MAHEM!

We thought we were busy before. We thought we took too few breaks and rest stops before. Oh no......Oprah's reach in her "O" magazine has made it super-duper-mega frega crazy {as my 5 year old Goddaughter would say}.

Thanks as always to our favorite environmental designing guru, Danny Seo {who has a fab blog in addition to all his fab work: http://www.DAILYDANNY.COM}, and to the drop-dead gorgeous Kerry Washington, whom we love and adore. Working with this team was, in word, FUN!

{Kerry's office holds many of our vintage items such as yellow French Bistro Chair, bag and slew of accessories...}

{Living room now is home to Vintageweave's pillows of vintage French fabrics, grain bags, tea towel pillows and a burlap roll from one of our favorite vendors, Vagabond...}
{...Still more pillows....}
{....Red stripe runner, Cote Bastide creamware dishes, vintage vase, grainbag pillows and antique French hemp pillow...; runner is available on our website now...}

{One of my most favorite items is how Danny transformed a boring pet step by covering it with a vintage Indian rug. See lower left of picture. Isn't it great??}
{Kerry's kitchen is chockfull of Cote Bastide creamware dishes and cast iron pedestals. Since this publication hit, I'm sorry to say all of these items have completely sold out and are now retired.}
