One store that has generated buzz as of late is Peter Dunham's Hollywood At Home. The jewel box of a store, located behind Nathan Turner's fabulous shop, not only carries Dunham's eponymous line of fabrics but Carolina Irving's textile line as well. Quite truthfully, these two fabric lines are a match made in heaven. Additionally, the shop sells vintage design books, furniture, home fragrance, and accessories. I think what I like most about this shop, though, is that in a way you feel like you've walked into a witty and stylish salon where inspiration abounds. How could you not be charmed by a stairwell in which you can walk on a red carpet replete a velvet rope banister and Dunham's star print wallpaper? Get it? It's your very own red carpet moment!

What a great shop - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove it!! Sounds like you had a wonderful trip. Hope you got plenty of R&R!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great tour! What a treat.
ReplyDeleteJennifer - we missed you! The shop looks great, and, I could use a red-carpet moment.
ReplyDeleteBoth Dunham and Irving are brilliant.
ReplyDeletePatricia- Don't we all need a red carpet moment!!!
ReplyDeleteAesthete- I agree, and I think it helps to see the fabric in person to really appreciate it. The colors in both lines are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLucky you! AND what a cute wait to do a staircase in a back hall or up to a third floor. I wonder who carries Irving's line in Houston? I'm dying to see it.
ReplyDeleteWELCOME BACK!!! I've missed you girl!

Sounds like a great trip! Peter Dunham is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteDid you bring home some nice souvenirs? Lana
What a great tour, and great shots! How were you able to take snaps in-store like that?
ReplyDeleteI echo Cote's comments, especially the last bit.
ReplyDeleteAnon- I asked and they were really nice about it- especially since they're a new store. But I realize that not all stores allow photography.
ReplyDeleteThanks HOBAC!
ReplyDeleteThis is the trip I want to take next. Glad you had a nice time and welcome back.
ReplyDeletewow what a lovely shop! they were very nice to allow you to take pictures :-)
ReplyDeleteDid you buy anything?
Bright & Beautiful- Unfortunately no, although I was sorely tempted to! It's a great shop!
ReplyDeleteOh you lucky thing! I did not realize you were on a trip to LA, but I echo the welcome back! And lucky us! We get to see all of your gorgeous finds. I have GOT to get down to see this store!
ReplyDeleteHow much fun is it to travel and discover new places?! I love Cali for that in particular, such a mix of the past and present. And I adore the red carpet stairs! p.s. Spellbound is on tonight :)
ReplyDeleteThe paper on the stair is particularly fetching ... I find myself drawn repeatedly to light, graphic, vaguely Indian-print fabrics like those produced by Dunham and Irving ... also Kathryn Ireland and Les Indiennes ... why is that, I wonder? Likely an appreciation of the boho-ness of it all but also the simplicity and reverse-chic of it too ...
ReplyDeleteThe shop looks like fabric heaven.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing.
Aesthete- I agree, and I'm drawn to these prints too. Perhaps it's the boho element, but I don't consider myself a boho chic kind of girl. Perhaps it is the simplicity of them, or the naive aspect of the designs?
ReplyDeleteHi! I work for Carolina Irving. If you are interested in her fabrics, have a look at her website (under construction). I also worked for Peter Dunham in the past...and they are both incredible artists!

Angela- Thank you for the link to her site. You're right, they're both wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI saw an article in a magaine of this shop recently and thought it was such a neat shop! Thank you for posting about this and all the great photos you had! I particularly enjoyed the red carpet :-) For royalty...
