Love the Fabric
Recently, I stumbled across a shop in San Francisco. Past Perfect–the name alone draws you in and inspires aimless wandering. I have to say I was inspired and boy did I wander. The shop consists mainly of mid-century classics to funky modern. The prices range from reasonable to slightly sinful.
Eero Saarinen Style Bar Stools $650
Pair of Modern Dutch Light Fixtures $175
Now, I hardly walk out of one of these places without a little bag in my hand and I’m happy to report I had a bag.
My Mad Men Style Low Ball Glasses
It was filled with 8 modern low ball glasses. These glasses remind me of one of my guilty pleasures–no, not vodka gimlets–but Mad Men that wonderful AMC series. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should definitely check it out. The style and panache displayed on that show is absolutely fab. These glasses make me so happy, I decided to host a Mad Men cocktail party. So, I will definitely make another stop in at Past Perfect to perfect my 60’s decor.

Here’s the complete slideshow:
The lower level consists of a family/media room with its own ocean view terrace, a bedroom and bath with separate entrance, and a large museum-quality storage area. The vast 3-level ocean terrace features a stunning L-shaped blue-tiled pool and spa, al fresco living room, dining room and barbeque, wood-burning fireplaces and a private gracious stair descent to the beach. Featured in a number of European design magazines, this is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the landmark estates of the California coast.

Getting lost drives me nuts. I hate it. I always stress about keeping my clients waiting and I don’t really care to be spending any extra time wandering around trying to figure out if I’m headed in the right direction. But on this particular day, I found myself lost. I was supposed to be in a very nice residential area of Redwood City and instead, 
I found myself in the middle of downtown Redwood City. So I’m trying to find my way back to the street I need and something catches my eye. A gorgeous red brick building and on that building there was a sign — Brick Monkey.
favorites is this set of metal nesting tables for $1350.00 and let’s not forget these fabulous chairs. I love the geometric shapes of the leather. Now here is the best part—Brick Monkey is having their very first factory floor sale! All of their custom metal furniture will be up to 70% off. 
So mark your calendars for January 23rd and 24th. Be sure to come prepared with a large vehicle and moving pads to bring your one-of-a kind treasure home. Trust me on this. Bring a big car. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been caught in the wrong vehicle. Once a year, designer Stephanie Kolkka, a Brick Monkey partner and the metal-smith( who created those wonderful nesting tables) clears out her Napa Valley studio to make way for new designs. Expect great savings and wonderful finds. OK, I’m putting this out there— I’m up for the floor sale! Who else wants to make the trip? I’ll drive and I’ve got a big suburban. Let me know. We could meet for coffee (Peet’s preferably) and then some serious shopping! C’mon it’s twenty ten and we all could use a dose of fresh! Comment here or drop me an email—desiree@lookiloos.com
