Courtney at Style Court:
- Textiles: Lewis & Sheron (For budget-friendly David Hicks-ish geometrics, or nice durable linens/cottons in great punchy colors. Typical prices range from $11.50 to $40 per yard with many fabrics costing less than $20 per yard), The Silk Trading Co. (For a compromise between high-end, trade-only fabrics and the mass outlets. Especially their nubby silks (perfect for giving a flea market chair a KWID inspired makeover) as well as their hand-woven, hand-dyed linen/cotton stripes. I just think their colors are some of the prettiest around. Although, to me, the web site doesn't do justice to the colors, but swatches are free. Typical prices range from about $20 to $60 per yard)
- Vintage Finds: Pieces (Pieces isn't inexpensive, but it is one of the few vintage furniture boutiques that shows a large amount of inventory online, with prices. New finds are constantly added too. The owner has custom pillows made-up in fabrics from Kelly Wearstler, Lulu DK and other high-end fabric houses), Wisteria (For unexpected but not too trendy tables and side chairs, great vases and accessories), Paris Hotel Boutique (
For vintage books and unusual finds), Turquoise L.A. - Papergoods: Broadway Paper and Elum
- Hidden Gems Online: Jayson Home and Garden (Great customer service and really chic, usually attainable vases etc.), Carolyne Roehm (Most people might think Carolyne Roehm is for their mom but check-out the little chocolate and chartreuse ceramic vases, and the striped ribbon. Nice surprises) and Basic French Online for kids gifts
