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.

Read MoreLet'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.
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.

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.
31 in wide x 34 in deeps 27 in tall
$295/each
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.
16 in square by 24 in tall
$195/each
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.)
67 1/2 in tall x 13 3/4 in wide
$495

Bathrooms are so much more than just a place where we brush our pearly whites before drifting off into dreamland. Whether you are taking the perfect selfie, attending your monthly date with Lady Clairol, or soaking in a ridiculous amount of bubbles, the time spent in the bathroom is almost always precious.
The bathroom is a modern day sanctuary, a place you are allowed (and encouraged) to make your daily transformation. Below we have put together a list of tips that will help you give your bathroom a vintage modern transformation of its very own.
1. Hang a chandelier above the claw foot bathtub.
2. Replace the mirror above the sink with one that's a little sexier.
3. Place brass candle holders all over the bathroom--don't forget the candles!
4. Give your bathtub a fresh coat of black paint.

You can't complain about how hot it is on Facebook anymore because your Midwestern family's "witty" responses are leaving you feeling, well, heated; "at least you have the beach," "don't you have VIP access to a pool somewhere Mr. Hollywood?"
Whether you are a tenacious thrifter, a Craigslist connoisseur, an avid antiquer, or a flea-market fanatic--you have probably come across a piece of furniture that has awesome potential but is seriously lacking in luster.
Read MoreHave you ever wandered into our shop on Sunset and wondered "where did they find such an awesome ________?"

Instead, we have to search far + wide to bring you the eclectic collection of unique furniture you see on our site and in-store.
We have scoured estate sales and antique stores from morning to night and have even crossed state lines in order to keep the store stocked with vintage items we know you'll love. How do we know you'll love them? Because WE love them. We would (and sometimes do) put these items into our own homes.
We vow to leave no stone unturned in order to bring you that __________ of your dreams. Below you will find a treasure trove of items that we recently brought back from our trip to Arizona. Make sure to call the store at 323-644-5590 to see if items below are still available.

While pinning to our new Pinterest board "Silverlake Style," I came across this picture from Elle Decor magazine. Nice, right?
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.
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.
5. Portraits of Peculiar Looking People
Are they royalty? Are they peasants? One will never know.
