SHOP WATCH: AT HOME AT COLCHA IN VENICE BEACH!

So as of late, every time I am in Venice I find myself wandering into this wonderful home furnishing store…Colcha.

Right in the heart of all things cool in Venice on Abbot Kinney, Colcha is an amazingly well edited home furnishings and accessories shop with an array of original and stylish finds for the home. Wonderful pillows, unique furniture and an array of chic accessories, makes this store a playground of sorts filled with delights for anyone who is interested decor.

Three things about Colcha:
1. Do not take a guy to Colcha – Men don’t understand what happens to women when they encounter a shop filled with beautiful decor delights. Two different times, I have taken men (one guy I liked and one who is a friend) to Colcha. Each time, I have literally left these poor fellows standing dumbfounded in the middle of the store by themselves, as I dashed about touching, caressing, examining, admiring, and commenting on everything in the store. Twice now, I have been tapped on the shoulder by a guy who said “I am leaving” and twice, I’ve looked at these guys and said “Okay”…completely content to be left in Colcha zigging and zagging about the store. Sorry guys!
2. They know how to flatter at Colcha/good place for an ego boost – On my first visit to Colcha, Lauren who works there found out that I had a blog from my friend CB. Lauren proceeded to call over the owner of Colcha, Sue Cowie, and say “Oh my gosh, Sue this is Coco. She has that great blog Cococozy. The one I was showing you today. Your blog is beautiful”. Last time I was in Colcha, Sue herself said, “I was just on your blog this morning.” Love Sue and Lauren! 🙂
3. They have a cool collection of John Robshaw bedding at Colcha (see below) – Love John Robshaw (ikats, block prints fashioned on prints from around the world)…love the selection of bedding at Colcha.

Decorative hemp screen printed pillows
Archival Decor Pillows – $245 for 24×24 (Pillows are constructed of hemp on the front panel, cotton velvet on the back panel. Filling is a down and feather blend. Images are screen printed on the front panel with a very dark sepia brown, water based ink.) (above and below)

    I take exception to your first point, Coco. I happen to be a man who would love to accompany you to Colcha…but I’m sure you already knew that. Lovely store. Thanks so much for sharing. 🙂

    I agree with Shannon, not with all men would you have this problem, and the same goes for women… some women I’ve taken to design shops would rather be looking at mountain climbing gear!

    This shop looks great a I will file for future trips… if I cross the Mississippi, I usually don’t stop until I hit the Pacific, and Venice Beach is a favorite destination. Thanks for the tip!

    Yes! I went in for the first time a few weeks ago and it was love at first sight. I know exactly how you feel about going in with a man. I went in with my husband and I sensed his boredom almost immediately, so we left. I definitely could have stayed longer.

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.
