Walking through the store is a real treat as you are surrounded by beautiful bedding, accessories and furniture displayed in such a way as to get you pondering what you could do differently back at your own home! The owner, Aimee Wedlake, was in the Scottsdale store when I visited but want to be sure to say thanks to Trish for giving me great background info on the unique pieces they carry. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-R_ia7zd6zH-MmC31f_y2Om9blrF-1WnkZz_FdUsyHdfYFhfcxHOBp9G_xHuWuAOV-deWkqmmiCtbq3-S-IQ-jUqrH6tq4yakwYlbPiSiDKcZ_pzlRJvurV3pcQjzP_ovjdBz1_BUiFo/s1600-h/v.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330865104531333170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-R_ia7zd6zH-MmC31f_y2Om9blrF-1WnkZz_FdUsyHdfYFhfcxHOBp9G_xHuWuAOV-deWkqmmiCtbq3-S-IQ-jUqrH6tq4yakwYlbPiSiDKcZ_pzlRJvurV3pcQjzP_ovjdBz1_BUiFo/s800/v.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> Valerianne represents over twenty designers - the gorgeous pillows on the bench from Bliss Studio, Union of Art, Anichini, and Aviva Stanoff ($140-300) are combined together for a custom design. The blue/gray pillow with the orange horse is actually an Arabic love poem. The horse is made up of the words. I love the mix of traditional and contemporary and the color combination. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6scvE93UbJqT8Bd_X0hB2eoCYR__WE_Y-6Roxn7v6rIB8uprsiXTCSZKtCXhZgeoH-DKCwbUwPO7GgxqpQwtBBJFkBV-L7N3-LBikhC_B9OhlHdIeqi_A-lknIcrx-5wS_BfE7ojhdMg/s1600-h/v11.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330864572779765762" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6scvE93UbJqT8Bd_X0hB2eoCYR__WE_Y-6Roxn7v6rIB8uprsiXTCSZKtCXhZgeoH-DKCwbUwPO7GgxqpQwtBBJFkBV-L7N3-LBikhC_B9OhlHdIeqi_A-lknIcrx-5wS_BfE7ojhdMg/s800/v11.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> I am completely in-love with this pink and brown Osbourne & Little wallpaper. The first picture is a better color match than the close-up below. Couldn't you see this paper rescuing a 1950's pink bathroom and taking it to a whole other level? <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtlPzYpiYSA2GAGEE8AUK_MFVwqmNl74XIrRqhUL68WIuarQq8D1olbph_l52D0tqn2aNPidhC9ygQuRXS9IHYwDrMYN467L-a6GKGi006LMJfmXfxNcdAWQxn8qudsW6YA-w-rTre6VY/s1600-h/new+269+(2).jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330864000525690914" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtlPzYpiYSA2GAGEE8AUK_MFVwqmNl74XIrRqhUL68WIuarQq8D1olbph_l52D0tqn2aNPidhC9ygQuRXS9IHYwDrMYN467L-a6GKGi006LMJfmXfxNcdAWQxn8qudsW6YA-w-rTre6VY/s640/new+269+(2).jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3uXWbTOM04EHl8-mZ6TABoATRuWt2HC__nvCp9yk3Ua3Z2WftBw-3GDwn_M70SwQ0DLFqjOu4WwhMVAmmPiK0NFomqDNsXGgFHX9_t6tq-vJKM0nmbQlWHislKnElViI6qhS49sF23wk/s1600-h/v6.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330864802914978050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3uXWbTOM04EHl8-mZ6TABoATRuWt2HC__nvCp9yk3Ua3Z2WftBw-3GDwn_M70SwQ0DLFqjOu4WwhMVAmmPiK0NFomqDNsXGgFHX9_t6tq-vJKM0nmbQlWHislKnElViI6qhS49sF23wk/s800/v6.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" /></a> There are a number of unique hand blown glass lamps in the store.

You could make an afternoon out of shopping there and at a number of the other great stores in that part of town.
