The Daily Jhuzz: Mediterranean blue
This warm, Sunday sun has us thinking of azure waters, white-washed walls and a hefty serving of gold jewelry against bronzed skin. Share the fantasy...

San Francisco Art Deco & Modernism show
We exhibited at the SF Art Deco & Modernism show this weekend. Looked at some nice collections, and marveled at the snazzy attendees in vintage dress. The guys put together a great looking booth, and here was the result.

Portrait of a Gentleman painting with a pair of Sonneman lamps, and Italian glass dish, on Danish credenza.

The Gibson Eye
Grant K. Gibson that is! The noted interior designer takes C Magazine on an excursion of his favorite San Francisco boutiques and galleries, with Monument included on the tour. We were pleasantly surprised to see our photo in the opening spread. Smiles all around!Check it out in C Magazine's May 2010 issue on stands now. Note Ellen Pompeo definitely looking radiant in yellow. We like the cover style coordination with our brass, white and neutrals display. Spring/Summertime indeed!

I've got a crush on you....
A sofa crush that is. Years ago I was flipping through an interior design mag (unfortunately I cannot, for the life of me, remember which issue), and came across an wonderful, minimally decorated home, filled with curves, graphic lines and lots of color. The singular element that burned in my brain, was this amazing side chair set off, near a landing, carved out as a reading nook. It looked so cozy, that chair, all rounded-square lines, and in a bright, kelly green upholstery. Instantly I fell in love, and had to know who, and what, was this chair. My squinty eyes scoured the fine print, and finally I spy the credits, "Vintage Chicklet side chair." My little design heart swelled from my crush, and I vowed one day, "I will find you Chicklet sofa, chair, whatever...."
Flash-forward to now. I recently stopped by Monument, but had rushed by the display window with nary a glance. Taking some photos around the shop, my beady, little eyes spied some very familiar rounded curves near the window. Kind of like 70's mod cartoonish curves, like a wide, toothy grin... My heart skipped a beat, when I saw it was, in fact, an all-kinds-of-gorgeous Chicklet sofa, newly reupholstered in a beautiful, soft green heathered cotton. It was like a bamboo garden landed in our window, and turned itself into a sofa. Okay... I know, I know.. you say it's just a sofa, but can't a girl have an inanimate crush around here?
Alright I'll stop babbling... pictures at last! Stop by Monument and visit my baby. Seriously.
Newly reupholstered Chicklet Sofa designed by Ray Wilkes for Herman Miller. circa 1976. Check our site for more info here.
p.s. Don't you love the drama of that antelope?

Silver, glam, disco memories
The guys put together an exquisite window for the holidays. Crystals, mirrors, silver, antlers, feathers, tinsel, lucite and glass. It isn't snowing here, but the reflective, sparkly surfaces hark back to memories of light bouncing off faceted snowflakes.
An amazing crystal encrusted tree! Love the singular accent of the large red glass ornament.
(detail)
This antler shaped glass base coffee table, with matte silver dove is just perfect. Organic and smooth modern shapes combine beautifully.
The table and tree are made for each other.
This white console is a great backdrop for the holiday window: glossy, white and reflective. A great anchor for these white & lucite base lamps, and the myriad of little, vintage tabletop trees.
These vintage trees are cute, yet sleek and glamorous even! Feathers, tinsel and a great disco-mirrored cone shape to represent 70's decadence. Party on!

Eyes of the Devil
Apparently there's some sort of scavenger hunt going on today in the Mission. We keep getting customers come in chanting, "Eyes of the devil, eyes of the devil, eyes of the devil." Eventually they find their way to this Japanese kabuki mask, then move onto their next destination. Funny stuff! Anyone know what's going on? We love holiday mysteries!
