Material Obsessions
No wait! Don’t skip this post! When you think of the words “hemp” most of us picture hippies dressed in sloppy, burlap-looking clothing—there might be a hacky-sack involved. But using hemp a...

Bae
We admire the way Bae's co-owner, David Caler, describes himself: "a weird guy who likes weird things." One's own quirky taste is the most important guiding light you can have when taking on an aesthe...
Ravi Design
Curtains, curtains, curtains! Who doesn't love them? Whether you can afford to splurge on them or you're trying to embrace your inner DIY, (almost) everyone loves the curtain picking/making process....
Urban Burp
We stopped in our tracks when we saw Urban Burp's sign outside that reads "Rare Vintage Fabrics." We quickly made a detour for their door and spent at least an hour talking textiles with Electra Skil...
VivaTerra
VivaTerra seems quintessentially Northern Californian. Based in San Rafael, the online company is dedicated to living in harmony with nature. They carefully choose items that are well-designed and...
Relish
A selection as delicious as the word. We learned about this boutique in Portlands Pearl District when we were looking for the elusive Wing Drop Leaf Table from this post on AT:LA. ...
David Smith & Co.
To say that this enormous South Lake Union warehouse is a wonderland of Indonesian furniture, textiles and home accessories does not do justice to just how much of an incredible find this store is. ...
Watson Kennedy Fine Living
A walk through Watson Kennedy induces the best kind of browsing stupor, where every shelf holds a new hidden treasure, as if it were planted there just for you to find and make special. The kind of...
Urchin
Sea urchins are cute, when you think about it. The symmetry of their spikes, the spherical shape that is just about palm size. We think this is the rationale behind, say, a Pokemon character or a ...
Ambatalia
Green is definitely the new black - it seems to us that almost everyone out there is jumping on the eco-friendly bandwagon these days. But few stores seem to take sustainability to heart as much as ...
Great Jones Home
We once inherited a fabulous deco-era chair from our mother, a sidewalk-sale savant. It was beautiful but had no cushions, thereby initiating our first foray into the world of upholstery. Upholste...
La Petite Chaise
If you're on the lookout for vintage home and garden items, and you're not interested in paying City prices, consider taking a drive down the Peninsula. You probably already know about Janakos and Co...
Greenspace
We first spied Greenspace a few weekends ago, during a day trip to Santa Cruz. Our first reaction was, "It's about time a place like this opened down here!" And then we proceeded to be impressed with ...
Aria Tailoring
If you've ever searched for a good, affordable seamstress/tailor to, say, make a duvet cover out of vintage French linens, you'll have experienced the following: Outrageous price quotes. Being told ...
Design House
(Welcome again to Ryan, one of the finalists vying for a blogging position at the upcoming AT:Home Tech. Comment away.) Design House is located in Vancouver, BC and is part of the renovated warehouse...
Spring
When we walked into Spring the other day, the first thing we noticed was how good and fresh the store smelled. It turns out that virtually everyone who walks in says the same thing. We think it's th...
Stumasa
Raw wooden furniture always seems to be screaming creative opportunity. Thats why Stumasa intrigues. A mom and pop neighbored furniture store with a DIY spin, Stumasa custom builds reasonably pri...
Zonal Home
It's not every day that you find yourself walking past a red screen door in a hip city shopping district like Hayes Valley. The door, perhaps more than any other single piece inside this Hayes Valle...
Conrad Shades
Local window coverings purveyor Conrad Shades specializes in elegantly unfussy hand-woven window coverings, including roman fold shades, custom drapery, cornices, a Sliding Panel Shade System, and dra...
FoamOrder.com
We first stumbled across Howard Street's foam superstore online, and slowly have discovered what a great resource it is. And we have to say we agree with their assertion that "Most people don't realiz...
Bae
We admire the way Bae's co-owner, David Caler describes himself: "a weird guy who likes weird things." That's a self-description that signals confidence in the most important guiding light you can h...
The Zentner Collection
The Zentner Collection is a little like SF's Fumiki's mix of contemporary and vintage Asian furnishings and art--but bigger. Chock full of exquisite Asian antiques and some new pieces as well, this 35...
Retro@Home
In addition to promoting democracy (read on for details), Retro@Home specializes in Scandinavian and American mid-century furnishings, textiles and decorative arts from designers such as Eames, McCobb...
Abode
To walk into Abode is to take in a satisfying eyeful of what the home furnishings world labels "transitional style," meaning somewhere between traditional and contemporary. What this label doesn't c...
Bitters Co
Sometimes modern can feel a little sterile, so it's good that there are people like the Carson sisters and places like Bitters Co. This Fremont, Seattle "eclectic general store" is a unique source f...
