Aren't these bottles stunning?! Repurposed and handcrafted, each is distinctive and unique topped with sea shells, coral, turquoise, metal design or glass.

Look at what's new!

Opening up all of our new arrivals has made it feel like Christmas in August around here! And trying to decide what to share with you this week was tough. Where do we start?! How about with our newest upholstered items!

Our all down, top grain Brompton Leather Sofa is handmade in L.A. and gorgeous! Perfect for stretching out or cuddling with your favorite person, the extra deep cushions make this sofa extra comfortable. You must come by and experience it for yourself! And the icing on the cake...it will be part of our September Anniversary Special!



While we're talking comfort, check out the Kingston Sectional, or what we like to call the "Got-to-Have Sectional".  This 8'x10' sofa is made with a cleanable, corduroy-style fabric and has numerous possibilities for configuration. An anonymous customer recently remarked,"You will never want to leave the sectional!" and we couldn't agree more. 


We love the casual elegance of these slate linen chairs! Beautifully tufted, they are perfect for adding a sophisticated touch to your bedroom corner or dining room. 


These lovely Mercury Glass Vintage Jars come in several sizes and styles and are just a few of all the many new accessories we have gotten in recently. Come visit us to find just what you need to add the finishing touch to your home.

Check back in early next week for all the details of our month long Anniversary sale coming in September AND for a chance to be entered in a drawing for a special prize!

Modern Flare!

Have we mentioned how much we love new deliveries? Especially when they are as beautiful as the newest additions to our floor. This retro style wing chair is perfect for the end of a dining room table or as a fab occasional chair. We love the faux leather welting that adds perfect detail to the clean lines.

And, how could you resist the gorgeous Stardrop Sectional?! This sleek, functional sofa and chaise has many options in cleanable fabrics and wood base colors. Add a couple throw pillows and this piece will add the perfect touch of character and sophistication to your home.

But nothing says modern retro like this beautiful, versatile table! Made of matte walnut wood with a chrome base and bow-tie inlay, this is a show stopper piece! As a nightstand, coffee table, or console piece, it will provide an extra uniqueness for any home...how will you use it?



In their vintage style frames, these letters are perfect accents for your wall. Use one to display your family's initial or get creative and use several to spell a meaningful word. We're going to use this "C" to spell some of our favorite "C" words, like.... Cookies, Cocktails, CHARTREUSE! 

While we're in a vintage kind of mood, we have to point out these fantastic magnets! For only $5 each, you can fill your refrigerator with these fun, sassy little ladies or brighten a friend's day with a thoughtful gift. 




Come on in and get your retro on! And stay tuned for September sale details...

Saying Yes To Silk!

One of our best selling items here at the store are our beautiful silk floral arrangements that we get from an exclusive local vendor.  The succulents and orchids are fabulous and often receive double and triple takes when clients hear that they are silk.  Let's be honest, typically when one thinks of silk floral arrangements, visions of variegated ferns or off-colored marigolds pops into the mind.  But the ones we carry here at Chartreuse will make you give silk arrangements a second chance.

So imagine how excited we were to discover that our vendor was now making silk house plants and indoor trees?  Nothing breathes fresh life into the home than a bit of green tastefully placed in a corner of a room.  We were just tickled pink to see what they came up with, and we were not dissappointed!  Have a look for yourself...
We love the different containers that holds each tree, and love that they didn't skimp on the finishing details, like gorgeous moss fillers and pretty pebbles and stones.  Each tree is a little more unique than the next.   
Please come in and see these fab arrangements in person.  We promise you'll take a double take!

Gifts of Summer

Did you know that today is officially the first day of SUMMER?!?  Sure it still may be a bit on the chilly side here in Southern California, but we know that sooner or later, the temps will heat up and there will be plenty of beach days, poolside parties and BBQ's to enjoy.

So imagine our excitement when we opened up freshly delivered boxes last week to discover some amazing items that would be perfect for host/hostess gifts.  Sure, these pieces would be a wonderful little indulgence for your own home or collection, but we believe in spreading the love here at Chartreuse, so may we suggest a few things to take along with you to your next summer bash?  We assure you that if you present your hostess with one of these little pieces, you will secure yourself a spot on the guest list next summer.

Oh and did we mention they are all under $20?  Ha!  Now we knew that would get your attention!

First up on the list are these gorgeous little colored lanterns and votive holders.  Made of iridescent glass, they cast a beautiful light when lit and sparkle in the sunlight.  Fill them with citronella tea lights and you have a fabulous alternative to the standard, yet unsightly citronella candle in a can. 
Look at the detail in these pieces
We love how these lanterns look clustered together.  
We think they would be perfect lining a walkway or as a dining room table centerpiece
Ranging from $12-$19, any hostess would love to have one of these decorative pieces. 

Wine anyone?  
Sure, your favorite blend of Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc is always a thoughtful and appreciated gesture.  But how much more impressive does that bottle of wine become when accompanied by a beautiful frosted glass or crystal wine stopper?  In summer ocean themes, choose a seahorse, shell or starfish.

Perhaps your host is a voyager of the sea?  
Then surely he will go overboard for a sail boat or anchor themed stopper.
All wine stoppers range in price from $15-$19

And while this owl may have nothing to do with hostess gifts, we just couldn't resist showing you one other little item that was delivered last week and that Wendy, the Owner of Chartreuse, is smitten with.
Isn't he cute?  
Made of white enameled ceramic, this chic and stylish umbrella holder 
is a fun way to add a bit of interest to any little corner of your home.

Wishing you all a happy and fun filled Summer!  
Please come by and see us the next time you need that perfect little something for a special host/hostess.
