The marble 'trivet' is a pataa. We roll our chapattis on them even today. Very easy to find all over India, and most of us have them in our house, but the top detail yours has is definitely different! Mine cost a bit under 200 rupees or under 2 dollars. So, if you do visit India, come with an empty suitcase for these items and cheap prices!

I remember this place from when “we” visited it with Drew. I was fascinated by the tree in the middle of the room. I know nothing about the items they carry, but they are all so unique. Even in a stack of seemingly identical bowls, each one has it’s characteristics. Many times what appears to be a flaw, simply adds to it’s charm and personality.

A tip for that marble chapati /roti/ tortilla maker use a wet rag below it while using so that it doesn't move or scratch your countertops.

Beautiful items. All I could think about though was that episode of Friends where Rachel bought decor from Pottery Barn but convinced Pheobe that she bought it from a vintage flee market and everything was from the "times of yore" haha.

I love that they know the history of so many pieces and are transparent if they don’t know or if something is new! They seem lovely!

I guess so.

You should come to India to see most of these things are available so much cheaper. The chapati( flat bread) marble roller stand is a staple item in most Indian kitchens. We also use granite and wooden ones here.. definitely should visit :)!

The teak pots are called theki . They were used in northern India and Nepal to store milk fat and other “liquids”. I live here in India and have been collecting them over the last year. They come in all shapes and sizes.

Coming from a Mediterranean country myself, I am a bit suspicious about the pricing of those items. There are usually less pricey in situ and when they are old like that (and I am guessing even cheaper when bought in bulk). I guess the shipping and other costs are included in the price you pay for them. But still. The anthropological curiosity of it all: my grandma's old things from our village home are considered "vintage" in the US and priced steeply. 😯☺ edit: some grammar mistakes 😅

While I am from the U.S., I agree about being a little suspicious of the pricing. It is a high-end furniture store in Los Angeles, so of course it is going to be pricey, but I just felt like a lot of the prices looked more simple and potentially DIY (yet pretty obviously!)

I made a vase. I used a two balloon’s to start the bottom of it & then I used a different balloon for the middle. Made it out of paper machete + I added some baking soda and Elmer’s glue to make it thicker and kinda chunky & finished the top without the balloon because I made the bottom first paper machete was done over 4 days. Each day I added a layer, let it dry the rest of the day & all night, then just kept adding to it until it was nice & thick. And then I added a light clear sealer. Turned out great! I sold it. Now I want to make more after seeing this video.

I would caution you about using the bread board for food purposes. I feel like you need to be certain about it's treatment during the shipping process and/or if there were any kinds of preservatives used on the wood surface etc. before you use it. I too would want one of everything from that store but the Olive vases were Stunning!

It’s really awesome that the cottage kitchen has dark soap stone and the island with it’s lighter worktop. When you have a kitchen that is all white or all dark, it’s a lot more restrictive to pick accessories which contrast that base. Love it!

Everyone needs a day just to enjoy. You and Romeo deserve this time to enjoy yourselves. Have a great time.

Whenever I think of the word joy, you are the person that comes to mind. You are always so joyful! Even within the difficult projects or stressful situations. You have become my number one roll model when it comes to embodying a joyful attitude. All my love for you and your family! ❤

Nothing beats buying things you love but buying them with a story is something else!!

The Frisco area in Texas is an Indian community, everytime I see an estate sale on that side of town I make sure to attend. I have scored many beautiful Indian items. When the Hindus/Indians go back to visit their country they'll go for months or when their loved ones come visit them they come for months and during those trips they bring back tons and tons of things/furnishings/fabrics/clothes so most of the things in their homes are authentic and from their country... 😍. The only thing I have yet to score is that Indian gold... they keep that close to their hearts 🥰.

just looking around at the color pallet of the store is amazing! Buy it all!!

that small marble trinket is called "Chakli" and is used as a flat surface to make roti/ chapatti (indian flat bread) on so that it doesn't stick to the kitchen counter. The roller used to flatten the dough is called "Belan", so together they are "Chakli-Belan"

I have a teak bench in the shower, its in a semi dry area of the walk in and has lasted so far for 5 yrs and is beautiful..they last so long, great finds and you and Romeo are just so cute together

Hi! Long time follower ❤ I just want to say how much JOY and LIGHT you bring to my life. I’m also in my 30s and I appreciate the honesty of where you are at with wanting to plan for a family and what you want out of life. I can’t wait so see more of the journey but I find you so relatable and I truly appreciate everything you do even if it’s not always easy. xoxox

Hi McKenna, loving that shop!!! Teak wood is the best wood for outdoor because it has a lot of natural oils that clog the pores of the wood and than water cannot get into it… but it also tends to stain linen (if you have outdoor sofa) xx 🥰

I love everything you bought at that store. I could picture in my mind how each one could be displayed. I can’t wait to see the makeover you are planning.

Hi Xo, I love your enthusiasm for life and vintage. Yu are very excited about your teak haul. I am from Goa, India, my home is nestled in a hilly forest and all my doors and windows and a fair bit of furniture is made of teak. It’s an excellent wood that can withstand the monsoon rains and termites. I’m glad Yu found something from my part of the world. There are nights, I just admire my teak front doors. The wood is an absolute beauty.

Oh that store is FABULOUS! I would have no self control LOL Can't wait to see how you use them in your home.

I think your new breadboard would look awesome hanging in that niche at the end of your island where you were thinking about putting a spice rack, if it would fit.

Hi McCenna, so lovely to see all the excitement for the wedding weekend. The teak pieces look great but I hope it is actually vintage because in Britain we don't buy new teak because it's a hard wood so not eco to but it now.

I love your shopping vlogs!!! 💕💕

Sounds like you might be doing a lychgate kinda situation at the cottage? If so I think that would not only add a lot of character (you can grow vines over it!) but also double gate setup is a great safety measure for Kinsley! It's saved our babies many times from careless people not closing the gate properly ❤️
