Like a piece of furniture that has been passed down from generation to generation, your father is full of interesting stories and quirks. This Father's Day, your Vintage Dad deserves more than just a card or shiny shirt. Instead, he deserves a gift with as much character as he's got.

Minimalist Meet Manic Houzz Tour

My name is Nicole and I handle all the digital stuff for Casa Victoria. A few months ago, our friends over at Madison Modern Home asked if they could do a write up of one of our homes for the very popular design website Houzz.com.

I volunteered by apartment because I  had recently made some additions and wanted to share them with YOU! A lot of the items you see are from your very own Casa Victoria. Here are a  few photos from the tour:

Janie also mentioned Casa Victoria as a place where she obtained some of the items featured. Read the article in its entirety here:

Stars in Her Eyes

*Stars in Her Eyes* Ever since you were a little girl, you have always been fascinated with Hollywood Starlets. Studying the moves and grace of Marilyn Monroe, Betty Davis and Greta Garbo was far more interesting to you than catching fireflies or tracing your hand with a pencil. Even as a teenager you preferred watching black and white films in lieu of attending school dances and football pep rallys. When you told your parents you were moving to Hollywood upon graduation they were anything but surprised. Your first few months in the city were hardly a glamorous jaunt. Eating grilled cheeses religiously and riding public transportation to auditions nearly killed your spirit, that is, until you got your big break. Now that you have been cast on a regular series, you can finally start furnishing your charming bungalow with the vintage style you have always admired. Casa Victoria LA has all of your glam needs and then some. Shop with us if you think Hollywood Regency is the cat's pajamas.

Being here in LA has taught you a valuable lesson, don't just park your tush anywhere.  This sexy white naugahyde mid-century sofa sits low to the ground and is very comfortable. The long and lean stature, dowel legs, and low arms are all kinds of right. $795 Make Room You had to sell all of your belongings in order to afford the one way train ticket to Hollywood.

This set of four vintage cheetah print corduroy bar stools are both comfortable and durable. Fully unholstered, each bar stool has a solid oak foot rest. $195/each Cow Magnifique There is no reason why you can't pay homage to your farming roots while incorporating your present Hollywood chicness. Each of these asymmetrical lucite chairs has a bovine patterned upholstered seat. Hollywood Regency meets Old MacDonald. $195/each

Fall In Love With Lucite

You can think of a hundred things you'd rather do on February 14th than make reservations at a trendy (aka overpriced) eatery or buy mounds of saturated fat packaged in fluorescent heart shaped boxes. Unlike the bargain bin roses at your local supermarket, Casa Victoria LA furniture and home accessories will last for generations to come. Valentine's Day doesn't only have to be celebrated by hopeless romantics. Falling in love with lucite is a lot more fun than getting your heart trampled on again and again. Lucite will never play hard to get, sleep with your best friend, or donate all of your clothes to the local thrift store. Instead, lucite is durable, good with children, and easy to clean. Contact the store to see if these lucite items are still available.

May I Have This Dance? This charming set of ball room chairshave a bamboo styling but are made entirely of acrylic. Each chair is compact, durable, and comfortable. Depending on where the chairs are situated, they take on a different color in different light. Cushions are included. Knit Picking The possibilities are endless with this vintage piece. Use it for the obvious or get creative and use it to hold your knitting supplies when you are channeling your inner grandma. Folds away when not in use. This unique luggage rack is entirely made of lucite aside from the knitted center.

Clustered Courage This blue and green acrylic grape swag lamp is made up of three clusters. Each cluster of grape is attached to it’s own “branch” and has its own light. Lamp plugs directly into wall. Alarming Art Deco This lucite and brass alarm clock  is a dream come true for any Art Deco enthusiast. It was manufactured in the 1950s in Massachusetts by a company called Telechron. World Wide This globe is unlike any globe you have seen before. You can remove the globe and literally hold the whole world in your hands. The lucite base keeps the globe in place when you want your world kept on display.

Give Me a Quarter, Casa Victoria Will Tell You Your Fortune

Your future looks bright. Not only will you finally get that promotion you have been hoping for but your dismal love life will be making a long awaited comeback. 2013 is your year to shine my friend, just as soon as your head splitting hangover subsides. While you were busy cracking bottles of bubbly, Casa Victoria was busy scouring interior design blogs to find the best Home Trends of 2013. We predict that you will be seeing a lot more of the following in the coming months both at Casa Victoria and in your home. What better way to kick off the new year than with a complete home makeover?

MIRRORS Not only do mirrors make your space appear bigger, but they will also motivate you to throw away your college duds and actually start dressing your age. Resolutions mean nothing without self-reflection. EMERALD Pantone recently announced the lush color of the year, emerald. We bet you'll see a lot more of this elegant color in the upcoming year. This 1960s pendant light has textured glass that resembles the healthy artichoke. Buying vintage is a lot more fun than eating your vegetables.

TEXTURE Why put off tomorrow what you can do today? Ring in the new year with an interior design overhaul. This pottery lampwith a sand finish is just the right amount of texture for your living room. LINEN Linen is trending because of it's versatility and durability. The lightness of the fabric would brighten up the darkest of rooms. This beautifully tailored vintage sofa has recently been reupholstered with brand new linen. The thin arms and gently curved and sloped back make this compact sofa a perfect solution to a small space. Once you have a seat on one of these down cushions, you'll never want to park yourself anywhere else NATURE Natural elements have been making their way in to the interior design world because of their inviting undertones. Lacking pretentiousness, you can feel good about surrounding yourself with pieces of the great outdoors. This custom made table was made from a twisted tree trunk. Kidney bean shaped glass top is included.

Have Yourself A Merry Metal Xmas

This year, Casa Victoria wants you to have yourself a Merry Metal Xmas. We know that gift- giving can be hard, especially when the crowded shopping malls make you madder than a PETA advocate watching footage of Ozzy's infamous bat eating bonanza. Calm down, take a deep breath and let the extended guitar solo take you back to your happy place filled with emphatic beats and highly amplified distortion.  Whether you are a head banging machismo, a heavy breathing brute, or a metalhead madame you will definitely appreciate the variety of shiny objects that Casa Victoria has to offer. All that glitters is sure to fade but all that's metal will just get better with age. This holiday season, metallic is the new mid-century.

This vintage copper plated fireplace tool set includes a shovel, a broom, a pick, and a grabber. $195

Black Cat Fever While black cats are looked upon in Western civilization as a symbol of bad omens, in Great Britain, black cats are a symbol of good luck. Which one will you be giving this holiday season, good luck, or bad? $149 Moshing About Some people prefer the open road. Instead, you would rather be moshing about on the open sea. When you aren't adjusting your sails, you are planning your next voyage. This tall ship wall hanging is made of brass and copper. What could be more metal than that? $395 Slay-Her Trust us, you are not tooting her horn nearly enough. Slay-her with this sexy set of brass trumpet candle holders. Each of the six candle holders varies in length. Treat her to something nice, or else. $95/6

Declaration of Love | Casa Victoria Owner Stumbles Across an Endearing Love Letter

A soul-mate was something you thought only existed in fairytales. Despite your disastrous dating history, we have proof that you might find your Prince Charming some day. While polishing this beautiful pine dresser a few days ago, Robert (the owner of Casa Victoria) came across a folded up piece of paper tucked behind one of the drawers. Upon opening the piece of paper, Robert was shocked to find a sweet love letter written years ago:

Jean,

I appreciate so much about you.

Your beauty. Your ability at the piano.

Your determination to grow through expressing the anger, pain and fear.

Your obvious accomplishment at creating a home out of a fixer-upper.

Your joy at nature. Your spirituality. Your inquisitiveness. Your caring.

Your care taking with me. Your willingness to do loving things for me.

Your smile. Your laughter. Your singing. Your voice in talking to me.

The affect on me when you say I love you.

Your love for me. Your love of your children.

Your gentle touch. Your kisses. Your caresses.

Your sharing with me your emotions. Your showing me your vulnerable sides.

Your warmth.

Your presence at my side. At all times, in bed, at meals, in public.

Your willingness to tackle hard work. Your planning a future with me. Your acceptance of me.

Your willingness to be exposed to new things, e.g. hiking and sailing.

Your feeling when reading Anorus Sileasius.

Your honesty with me.

Your views on things that are different from mine that give me a new perspective.

Your openness to the possibilities of life.

Your warmth with people that I see in record on class.

Your concerns for animals. Your awe at the universe.

Your enjoyment of the dock critters. Your enjoyment of beach walks. Your enjoyment of sunrises and sunsets.

Your love of beautiful flowers. Your love of growing things.

Your listening to my feelings. Your listening to my music.

Your maturity. Your childlike responses. Your songs of fairness.

Your body that is perfect in every way as it is yours and there is no aspect of it I don't enjoy.

Your sleepy little girl aspect in the morning. Your snuggly feeling next to me.

I love you for all this and more.

Reed

Like this Woodland Dresser, every furniture piece at Casa Victoria has a wonderful story. Though this particular dresser will never a make mid-century furniture collector's head spin, it does make everyone at Casa Victoria feel good to know that everything we carry has an intricately woven history. Every piece was once loved by its previous owner and will certainly be cherished by its future owner.

It isn't every day that we come across such an endearing declaration of love for another. If you or anyone you know has any information regarding Jean and Reed, please reach out to us on Facebook or drop us an email at lacasavictoria@sbcglobal.net. We would love to return this beautiful letter to its rightful owner. This dresser and matching nightstands were purchased in Ventura County.

Casa Victoria LA is to Silver Lake what Beards are to Hipsters

Nextdoor.com and Forbes Magazine sifted through data from more than 250 neighborhoods in the biggest US cities to determine which neighborhoods were the hippest. They assessed the area’s walkability score, the number of coffee shops, the variety of food trucks, the farmer’s market ratio, the number of locally owned bars and restaurants, and the percentage of residents who work in any art related industry. Guess what? Silver Lake, was number one. Yep, that’s right. Silver Lake is the hippest hipsterhood in the entire U S of A. Take that Williamsburg. Too bad, so sad Austin. Guess what else? Casa Victoria is so hipster, it was in Silver Lake before anyone knew how hip Silver Lake was. Booyah! Email us here or call us today at 323-644-5590 to see if these items are still available Bourbon and Books The only thing that would make you feel better about the stack of papers looming on your desk is a bourbon highball. Bottoms up, teach. A's for everybody! This mid-century wall unit is multi-purposeful. Not only can you use it to hold your knick knacks and books but you can also use it as a media cabinet, work station, or a room divider. The middle cabinet folds down to reveal a make-shift desk or bar storage. $695 Dove Tailing A dove tail joint is used in woodworking to fasten two joints together without a metal fastener. Instead, the joints are interlocked with great precision. The edge of this table has been dovetailed to the center of the table flawlessly. This mid-century coffee table by Lane is part of the Acclaim series and is made of walnut and oak. Each dowel leg has a metal cap. You won't believe this but we recently found this exact same table at a competitor's site for $2800. We don't want to name names but if you are in the mood for a chuckle, google the words "first" "dibs" and you might just find them. $595 Good Fortune See a penny, pick it up, then all day you'll have good luck. Fortune follows the bold. The early bird catches the worm. Which ever inspirational mantra you prefer, this set of copper lamps will surely infuse your life with plenty of good energy. This set of copper Indian lamps are made of mercury glass and are brand new. $295/set NOVA'S Arc Nova is a leading designer of high quality, soft contemporary, and simple modern lighting and home decor. This vintage arc lamp by NOVA Lighting of Los Angeles has four brass finish arms with large globe light bulbs. Unlike the cheap knockoffs, this lamp has a high/low switch and a marbleized base. Looking for something different? Check out our entire selection of arc lamps here. $545 Smooth Sailing Sometimes life is smooth sailing and sometimes you are smack dab in the middle of a typhoon. You can't change the weather but you can always adjust your sails. This mid-century painting of sail boats is signed by the artist Fadik. This is not your average Sail Boat painting. Instead the artist uses masculine colors to display an earthy interpretation. $249

Apartment Therapy Home Trends

Ever heard of Apartment Therapy? Perhaps their catchphrase "saving the world one room at a time" will give you a hint as to what they are all about. Not only are they a great place to get design inspiration for the home but they also feature DIY projects that will indubitably get your creative juices flowing. Recently, Casa Victoria was mentioned in an Apartment Therapy home tour, not once, but TWICE as a place to shop for home decor. See the home tours here and here. The difference in styles of the two apartments is proof that Casa Victoria appeals appeals to just about  everyone. Max's West Hollywood Glamzon Bungalow is every bit as magical as Chelsea and Alex's Vintage Meets Modern Home.

The following pieces are similar to those that were featured in the Apartment Therapy Home Tours. It seems that (arc) lighting isn't quite everything, tables pack a hefty punch as well.

It's Black, It's White

Gray matter matters now more than ever. It has been harder and harder to ignore the shiny gray hairs that keep popping up on your head overnight. You briefly contemplate embracing your gray hair as a rite of passage, but quickly come to your senses and make an appointment with Lady Clariol. You are too young to look like a Golden Girl. Leave the Silver Fox title to those that deserve it; Anderson Cooper and that lady from What Not to Wear. Trends come and go, but black and white will be chic forever. Save Fifty Shades of Grey for beach reading and keep your office decor simple. You make the most important decisions from your office, like which Canter's Deli sandwich you should have for lunch. You don't want to make the wrong decision because you were distracted by the Pollock-esque painting Pinterest inspired you to create, would you?

Mod About You

Steelcase Inc., has been a global leader in the office furniture industry for over a century. Their vintage pieces are still ahead of their time.

This 1950s Steelcase desk chair has a metal base with white naugahyde upholstery. The Steelcase logo is imprinted on the back of the chair.

Nature Vs Nurture

Intellectual Fervor

Mother's Day shopping has always been a piece of cake. Your mom always knows to expect another bottle of White Diamonds and a bouquet of peonies. Father's Day, however, continues to make you feel panicky. Calm down, Casa Victoria is here to help.

Unlike most fathers, yours has never picked up a golf club in his life. Nor does he watch any sports or play any gaming devices. His idea of fun is nursing a stiff whiskey drink in his home office and reading scholarly journals on Nature Versus Nuture, whilst Ol' Blue Eyes resonates through his vintage phonograph.

Trust us, your dad has plenty of neckties and fuzzy slippers. Give a Father's Day gift that he can actually appreciate. Since he spends more than a third of his life in the office, why not buy him a gift that celebrates his intellectual fervor?

You Sligh Dog, You

This compact traditional wooden writing desk has four drawers and was made in Holland, Michigan by Sligh Furniture Company. The leather top has hand-embossed gold detailing.

Your dad is a quality human being and a compassionate parent. Give him a quality piece of furniture that lets him know how much you continue to admire his mind.

For Safe Hotdog Eating, Use a Condiment

How Much Is That Doggie from the Vendor?

Casa Victoria wants you to have your hotdog, and eat it too. New this week are items that conjure up memories of the ballpark and summer barbecues. All these items are certified vintage and 100% nitrate free! Shop without guilt.

Watching a Dodger's game sounds fun in theory, but in actuality you can barely sit still through your child's dance recital. Do you really think you'll make it through a second inning? You must admit hotdogs, beer and nachos make the pain tolerable, but they aren't so forgiving on your waistline.

Leave your honey at the game and do some cardio shopping at Casa Victoria instead. We promise you'll find something you didn't know you couldn't live without. Make sure to stop in frequently, because our items are always changing.
