There is a new decor store that just opened on Beverly Boulevard near The Grove in Hollywood called Espionage. I can't wait to check out some of the unique items they have there. Unlike rummaging through a typical consignment shop, this is a curated selection of new and used items that include vintage furniture, accessories, clothing, and jewelry. The design of the store is pretty interesting too. I love the blue and orange combo.
My wonderful mother has been using Brasso for years. Recently when I acquired some unique decorative dishes from a thrift store, I knew that this magical polish was just the ticket to make them shine like new. I try to remember when I am at a flea market, or just window shopping, not to discount items that may need a little TLC. Not only are used items a much better deal, but often times they only require small fixes that can be accomplished with a simple run to the local hardware store.
