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.

Casamidy Opera Side Chair – $975 (From Casamidy’s Varenne line. White leather and white metal frame) (above)
