Courtney's Holiday Gift Guide 2025

Everyone could use a little inspiration when it comes to gift giving - some of us are great 'gifters' and the rest of us need a little help. I put this together in hopes that there's something for everyone on here. Happy Holidays!

01. A NORDIC FEAST - a wonderful book with fantastic recipes and beautiful photos. Great for the Nordic food lover in your life.

02. SHOT GLASSES - these will make any cocktail hour so pretty and refined. Very modern with a slight vintage flair.

03. PEPPER MILL - yellow is the color for any kitchen and any season, thats why we love this pepper mill. Great for pepper or salt.

04. FOLKE CANDLE - Lägereld is our translation of a chilly Scandinavian winter - a rich woody fragrance of smokey balsam and warm amber.

05. FOLKE LIQUID SOAP - Hem is a fresh and fruity signature scent. It's our definition of a California summer.

06. CUTTING BOARD - a great board made from non-toxic materials that will add color and style to any kitchen.

07. CANDLE HOLDER - very sweet iron candle holders that would pair well with our Danish taper candles.

08. DUSTPAN & BROOM - a small German made dustpan and broom set that's great for kitchen use, for your vehicle or for children.

I hope this helps lighten your holiday load. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We are Green

It's been a long time coming, but we have finally earned our Green Certification. As a vintage furniture and home decor shop, sustainability is always at the forefront of our minds. We encourage our clients and customers to reuse what they have by offering reupholstering and restoring services. In a world of fast everything, it's very important (to us) to keep as much out of our landfills as possible.

We offer sustainably built sofas and chairs - made near by in Los Angeles. Nothing is built/made until an order is submitted, so there is no waste. All of our designs are customized to the size you need for your space, so it fits perfectly and there is no size remorse. All of our sofa frames are built with hard wood and commercial grade fabrics for longevity of the piece. For more info click here.

Our effort does not stop there, we focus on patronizing vendors that encourage eco-conscious practices, we use green products - from our recycled bags to cleaners, and keep our carbon footprint in mind when it comes to our restoration services. No one can be perfect, but every little bit helps!
