a well lived life...: Fixtures Living

Quotes...

The best decisions are always made at the last minute. Just know when the last minute is.
Holly Hunt

Be faithful to your own taste because nothing you really like is ever out of style.
Billy Baldwin

All rooms ought to look as if they were lived in, and to have so to say, a friendly welcome ready for the incomer.
William Morris

... to ensure a successful mix, I treat cushions, trimming, lampshades and other accessories as the shoes and handbags of the home. The right shoes can really make an outfit - and equally, if you have the wrong shoes, you can feel old-fashioned in the smartest of suits.
Nina Campbell

Each item in a collection has its own story, its own memory - the search, the day you bought it, who you were with, the vacation, etc.; a collection provides a special satisfaction and sense of achievement.
Tricia Guild

Good design has to tell a story. It has to stop people, and it has to make them wonder. Good design is a conversation.
Zahid Sardar

Friday, I had THE BEST experience shopping for plumbing fixtures and appliances with my San Diego client. Fixtures Living is like no other shopping experience. Upon arrival, we were offered cappuccinos, lattes or an Arnold Palmer (lemonade ice tea blend). As we walked around the showroom assisted by Raychel we were amazed at the vignettes and the product lines available. Fixtures Living quite smartly had local designers and builders create each of the individual bathroom and kitchens - showcasing not only their personal style, but beautiful tile and lighting available through San Diego suppliers, as well as the plumbing fixtures and appliances available at the showroom.

After narrowing down the style for the faucet and sinks and discussing appliance needs Raychel led us over to the restaurant where lunch was being served for everyone shopping at Living Fixtures on Friday! Over the course of our lunch two of the owners came over to introduce themselves and refill our Arnold Palmers.

Fixtures Living has really gone back to basics with their attitude towards customer services and how they treat their employees. I wouldn't hesitate to refer them more business in the future.

In September they are opening their third store in Costa Mesa. I can't wait to see it - apparently it is even better (if that is possible).
