Zinc Door

The talented gals behind Layla Grayce have launched a new home decor site called Zinc Door. I like the vibe. Although some of the brands overlap, it's decidedly sleeker and more modern than LG. The product lineup is also more focused - ZD is all decor, yay!

As far as brands go, you'll find the usual suspects like Jonathan Adler, DwellStudio, Bungalow 5, Oly Studio, Global Views, Regina Andrew, Worlds Away, and Arteriors. Zinc Door also has some less ubiquitous lines like Stray Dog Designs, Ro Sham Beaux, Belle Meade, Malibu Loft Collection from Somerset Bay, and Jamie Young. I absolutely adore both the Belle Meade and the Malibu Loft collections...just wish they were a bit less expensive. Here is a sampling of the items I liked best:

Have you shopped Zinc Door yet? If not, put it on your list because they have a good selection, nice big product photos, and I'm sure that their customer service is just as stellar as Layla Grayce's.

If you like what you see, be sure to enter the giveaway for a $10,000 bedroom makeover that Zinc Door is hosting with Lonny magazine!

Again & Again Gives Back

My favorite vintage furniture shop, Again & Again, is pitching in to help two awesome charities over the next couple of weeks and I wanted you all to know about the details.

First, Again & Again is partnering with BAR 828, a charitable pop-up cocktail establishment in Oak Cliff this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Guided by its vivacious proprietress, Leslie Pritchard, the space will be transformed with vintage furnishings and lighting from A&A...all of which will be available for purchase! A portion of the proceeds from the collaboration will go to Promise House, which helps disadvantaged and runaway kids. BAR 828 closes this Saturday, October 29 so if you're in Dallas, be sure to get yourself there by then so you can drink and buy furniture for a good cause :)

Second, Again & Again is a a Partner's Card retailer, which means that from October 28 through November 6, card holders get 20% off! The cards can be purchased at A&A (or at other participating retailers) and all proceeds benefit the Family Place, an organization that assists victims of family violence.

Sorry to dangle these fun events in front of those who don't live in Dallas! To make it up to you, here is some eye candy from Again & Again. If you live outside of Big D and see something that you love, don't fret...shipping is a possibility!

Here is a settee that I snapped as it was being reupholstered...they do amazing work, right?!?

Lots o' lucite...

This is a custom Greek key stool that A&A fabricates...

I adore these chairs...I imagine the wood in an ebony finish paired with Quadrille's Rio and black cording/buttons...

Also infatuated with this sofa...

There was a set of four of these fabulous chairs...

This settee was about to get Suzani-fied...

This awesome little chest will be bananas after a paint job...

Cool screen and great little pair of x-benches...

The stylish entry to Again & Again's Howell Street location...

Glam headboard, cool brass lamps, amazing sideboard, the list goes on and on...

I covet this lamp...it's so funky and unique. It kind of reminds me of Stray Dog Designs' lamps...which you might've seen on the Rachel Zoe Project recently! Stray Dog's lamps cost about $400 a piece though so this one is a MUCH better deal :)

Super-duper cool midcentury mirrors...

Finally, here is A&A's sample book area...they've stocked books from the best fabric companies like Schumacher, Quadrille, Kravet, and Duralee. Having this sort of resource in the shop makes picking the perfect fabric quick and painless!

I just love this place...it totally gets my imagination going. Are you loving their inventory as much as I do? Keep in mind that their merch changes all of the time so the best way to stay in the loop is to follow Again & Again on Facebook where new items are posted.
