A Little Rustic Inspiration

Hello dear friends! I hope everyone had a most lovely weekend. On Sunday, we enjoyed the cooler weather by visiting various places here in Los Angeles. One of our stops was Restoration Hardware in WeHo {West Hollywood}. This particular store opened last summer, and I was in the mood for some rustic inspiration. Walking into this Restoration Hardware looks just like the chunky Fall Catalog that was mailed out recently.

Some places don't like to be photographed {case in point, Pottery Barn}, so I was trying to be sneaky when taking these pics. Therefore I'm only showcasing just a small portion of the store, and I apologize in advance if some of these photos aren't very clear. :)

Wouldn't you just love to have this little piece in the corner of your home somewhere?

This maybe a little too grand for my taste, but still fantastic nonetheless!

And I spied this wonderful rustic chair that I almost wanted to take home with me...well, that is until I saw the $445.00 price tag {eeks}!

Now off to the 2nd floor we go...aren't those chandies in bird cages something else?!?!

...and here we have a little bathroom inspiration {if only my bathroom was big enough to house a double vanity AND that storage}...

Loved these bust forms!

The hubby did like this set-up for a "reading area" for the home...

And back downstairs on my way out, I snuck in a photo of this.

Now, the unique thing about this location, is that they also have a lovely garden set-up right next to it, for all of your "patio" or backyard inspiration as well.

Is this worthy of an outdoor dinner party or what!?!?

They were also serving complimentary drinks, so if you look ahead you can see a few people lounging on the seats as they enjoyed their tea.

Now as I made my way to the back of the garden area, I spied myself a little door that lead to the florist area...yeah, can you believe they have a floral boutique there too?!?!

At first glance, I thought the flowers in the galvanized tins were fake, but the scent of the room made me think otherwise! :)

Now as wonderful as this rustic inspiration was, I couldn't help but think how much I missed the "old Restoration Hardware" set-up. They closed many locations to revamp their new "luxury look" as seen in these pics. But I think I enjoyed RH when it still had that simple 1940's look about it, especially during the holidays. Now whenever I go there, I think to myself how lovely all this stuff is - but with the high price tags on 95% of their items, who actually buys this stuff??? And did I also mention that this location's only means of parking is via Valet? Enough said. lol

After that little outing, we headed out to The Grove for our usual Farmer's Market fun. That's when I literally bumped into "Kat Von D!" Now I'm not too much of a "Kat Von D" fan, but I have to say that she does look better in person. But I'll save that encounter for another post... ;) Until next time!

Hugs,
Jessie
