I mentioned that I had a day of design last Friday in LA and it all started at Almont Yard. This chic little garden used to be a parking lot before shop owner
Nathan Turner and his then neighbor
Peter Dunham decided to create this little oasis in 2008.
Peter Dunham has since moved over to a new space on La Cienega, more on that later, and now
Kathryn Ireland has moved into his old space. Also, in the back is
Harbinger and
Lucca Studio, more on those later too!
I fell in love with this beautiful space the minute I saw it and would definitely move to LA if I could work in a place this pretty. It was really relaxing!
There was a little kumquat tree tucked into a corner! So cute!
If I worked here, I'd be be sitting at little table everyday typing on my laptop!
We loved the Almont Yard garden so much, we decided to take a few photos for posterity!
Not sure if Christian is going to be mad at me for posting this one but I thought it was cute! Check back soon for my posts about all the fabulous stores in Almont Yard and around LA!
After visiting Harbinger in Almont Yard, we popped over to their sister space Lucas Studio, the interior design space of Joe Lucas and Parrish Chilcoat. They weren't around but it was fun peeking into their space.
The studio houses the fabrics and wallpapers that are sold through Harbinger.
Hand painted fabrics from Prints, Etc. hang on one wall.
They also offer the fabulous fabrics and wallpapers from Katie Ridder.
There is something about printed fabrics that will always remind me of LA now!
Sister Paris may be gone but her wallpaper designs live on.
One of the cutest parts of the studio was the powder room. It was papered in a design by Katie Ridder. Hidden behind the striped curtain are all the fabric samples.
It's hard to photography such a tiny room but I had to show you the wonderful color on the back of the door! The mirror is also for sale!
If I worked in Almont Yard, I would definitely be sitting outside most of the day! It's the cutest area in all of LA!
