1 Teak Credenza // 4 Different Ways

If you aren't "design inclined" it can sometimes be hard to envision how a piece (like the teak credenza below) will work with the rest of your decor. Instead of just buying random things that strike your fancy, take some time to "map out" a design strategy using tools like Pinterest.

We've Got Love For The Eighties

Let's take a moment to reflect upon all the treasures the 80s bestowed upon us. No, we aren't talking about Knight Rider, Frogger and fanny packs. Nor are we talking about "The Clapper", a Rubik's cube or your collection of My Little Ponies. We are, however, referring to the sudden influx of 80s items that have recently popped up in the store. 

If you are reading this email you probably already know we are a mid-century mecca, but did you know we are also chock full of 80s delights? Below you'll find 4 of our favorite 80s items currently in the store. As always, make sure you call us at 323-644-5590 to see if the items are still available. 

Custom Made Lacquered Credenza

lacquered credenza

Though you were a mere babe in the 80s, you feel an unexplainable connection to this wild decade. So much so that  your obsession with shoulder pads, Cyndi Lauper, and Aquanet is starting to worry your loved ones. Who needs them when you have the Alf box set to keep you company (on VHS, of course)? 

This 1980s custom made lacquered credenza has four cabinets. Credenza has a marbleized finish, tapered corners and floats on a rectangular base.

Custom Club Chairs With Square Legs

custom club chairs with square legs

Every so often when you really need a kick in the pants, you call up your older sister for some words of encouragement. Unlike other "pep talks" your sister has a way of making you feel as fly as Beyonce and as kind as Mother Teresa. For these moments of truth, you need a comfy chair that has got your back as much as your sister does. 

This pair of 1980s custom made club chairs have square legs, a square back, and rounded arms. Each chair is extremely comfortable.

Pair of Fully Upholstered Stools

pair of upholstered stools

In grade school, you were the one rocking secondhand Zubaz when everyone else was wearing fresh Perry Ellis. In high school, you were the one driving your dad's old 1988 BMW convertible when everyone else was begging their parents for an Eclipse. Today you are still "going against the grain." Instead of registering at Pottery Barn for your wedding, you told people to donate to your favorite animal sanctuary instead. 

This pair of 1980s fully upholstered low stools have a brass finish foot rest.

Brass Torchiere Floor Lamp

Brass Torchere Lamp

Torchiere lamps are perfect for small apartments or rooms without overhead lighting already in place. The shape of the lamp projects light towards the ceiling so the lighting cascades down over the rest of the room. 

This 1980s brass torchiere lamp has a glass shade, a brass ring design and three lighting settings. Touch the lamp anywhere on the base to turn it on or off (or you could just go on using "the clapper" for another three decades.)

Two's Company | The Best Things Come In Pairs

You aren't much of a crowd person. In fact, the first thing you ask whenever you are invited anywhere is "how many people will be there?" You've been known to circle the block exactly once before heading back home if you can't find parking. It's not that you don't enjoy people, you just don't enjoy them all at once. A perfect evening, in your opinion, is polishing off a bottle of wine while Netflix bingeing with your best friend.Everyone knows the best things come in pairs; peas in a pod, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Thelma and Louise and socks. Wait, what?

Whether you are in a lovely committed relationship or flying solo this Valentine's Day, you will surely appreciate the multitude of pairs we currently have at Casa Victoria. Make sure to call the store at 323-644-5590 to see if items below are still available.

Pair of Marble Horse Bookends
Pair of Marble Horse Bookends
Any avid chess player knows that the knight should always be near the center of the board, right where the action is.

This set of horse bookends were hand carved from a cream colored slab of marble and transformed into a couple of powerful knights. The bookends would make a great gift for a chess lover along with a hard covered book outlining the strategy of the 1500 year old game.

Pair of Arm Chairs by Phyllis Morris 
Pair of Arm Chairs by Phyllis Morris
Time spent waiting for Prince Charming is time wasted. The Law of Attraction states that if you remain a positive person, positive things will find their way to you.  While we aren't sure if this works for furniture, it's safe to assume that the reason you are reading this right now is because you have been ridiculously positive lately. Good job!

Each of these plastered arm chairs by Phyllis Morris of Los Angeles have been beautifully carved and whimsically designed. Phyllis Morris began her design career in 1953, a time when slick, streamlined furniture was the standard. Instead of following trends, Phyllis made her own rules and created pieces with bold Italian carvings and rich layered patinas.

Pair of Large Brass Pots With Engraved Handles
1970s Hand Beaded Jewelry Box
You never thought the day would come that you would be on your hands and knees covered in dirt, digging out weeds in your own garden.

Now that you are one with the Earth, you can never imagine returning to your former aloof self.

This pair of larger than life brass pots have a beautiful patina and thick engraved handles. Suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

Each of these red velvet slipper chairs has a romantic shape with carved interlocking heart design and a buttoned back. Both chairs were handcrafted (with love) by Van Otteren in Grand Rapids.

Family of Three Brass Giraffes
Family of Three Brass Giraffes
Not only are giraffes the tallest living animals to walk this earth, but they only have to sleep between ten and twenty minutes a day. Think of how many more cat videos you could watch on YouTube if you had the same sleeping habits as these long-necked, (albeit elegant) creatures.

All three brass giraffes are included in this set. Giraffes would make a great gender-neutral theme for a baby's room.

Infuse Your Home With Some "Silverlake Style"

While pinning to our new Pinterest board "Silverlake Style," I came across this picture from Elle Decor magazine. Nice, right? af648937823c144cf74c6f222fae432b

The title of this Elle Decor spread is "Morrocco Moderne" and the residents of the featured home are an American couple who moved from a medina in Marrakech to the city's Art Deco district. They brought with them an aesthetic of French Flair.

What struck my fancy most about this picture was that it seems to sum up what every home in Silverlake currently looks like (or aspires to look like.) Like any well-designed room, this room has a distinct formula. Whether you live in Silverlake (the hippest neighborhood in the US) or the Art Deco district of Marrakech, you can recreate this fantastic look in your home with the help of Casa Victoria. Let's begin!

1. Pair of Club Chairs

Unfortunately, this pair of low back naugahyde club chairs were sold a while back, but it will give you an idea of what kind of chair to look for.

Set of Two Low Back Club Chairs

2. Brass and Glass Coffee Table

This 1970s round glass and brass coffee table may be short but it is most certainly sweet. What it lacks in height, it makes up for in sophistication. This table is still available!

3. Vintage Leather Sofa

This 1980s Italian sofa is a beautiful dark green full grain cow hide and is in excellent condition. It was hand crafted in Italy and has a slightly curved back. Still available!

4. Industrial Reading Lamp (or an Arc Lamp would work well too)

This 1970s adjustable chrome reading lamp has a pivoting arm that also extends out. The foot switch allows you to turn the lamp on without moving a finger, literally.

Keeping Up With the Traditionalists

Here at Casa Victoria, we love our mid-century just as much as the next guy--(after all, we are located in Silverlake, the hippest neighborhood in the US.) Anyone who is anyone knows that mid-century modern is "in" right now but that doesn't mean it's necessarily for you. Instead, you might find yourself craving something a little more traditional and that is totally fine--in fact, we are utterly enthused!

The great thing about Casa Victoria (besides our winning smiles) is that we have furniture that appeals to those traditional enthusiasts as well as their trendier counterparts.

Here is a look at a few of our more traditional items that just arrived in the store. Make sure to call the store at 323-644-5590 to see if the item is still available.

9ft Sofa With Linen Botanical Print and Down Cushions
9ft Sofa with Botanical Print
Finding a gem of a couch like this one is enough to make a grown man weep. The funky botanical print screams "dad on vacation" while the gently rolling arms scream "I'm sexy and I know it." The large frame would accommodate quite a few rad dads comfortably.

This 9 ft long custom made sofa was constructed from the highest quality materials. The timeless, elegant design along with the extremely comfortable down cushions make this sofa a design enthusiast's dream. The linen botanical print and English style rolled arms would make any dad feel like he was living the life of luxury every single day.

1948 Still Life by Alex Miller
1948 Still Life
Still life paintings often adorned ancient Egyptian tombs because they believed that the food objects and other items depicted, would become real to the deceased in the afterlife. In that case, will someone adorn my tomb with still life paintings depicting donuts and beer?

This incredible still life was signed by the artist Alex Miller and dated 1948. Though this primitive still life is nearly 65 years old, the beautiful colors still look absolutely vibrant within its original gold leaf frame.
