Do-Over

2011-07-06T11:48:00.000-07:00

Ever wish you could push "reset" and start over? Have you had the experience of blurting out a comment without considering the damage or consequences? Or perhaps you ended a failed relationship and wanted a clean, fresh start.

It's easy on the computer! Just press Control-Alt-Delete simultaneously and everything shuts down and re-boots in minutes. Too bad life does not organize so easily. We make commitments and break them. What satisfied us one day does not the next.We break things we can't easily replace.

Truthfully, that is the charm of moving from one of life's challenges to another. A full life equals many different experiences and adventures. Often things don't go the way we expect and we must be flexible and alter course. The chance for a do-over, while sometimes painful, can be exciting! Push out the old dusty relics, clutter, and thinking...... bring in the shiny new things.

Visit Trove today to begin your do-over... Our sales personnel will be happy to assist you in creating your new environment. Talk therapy available gratis.

Light up the Night Sky !

2011-06-29T11:28:00.000-07:00

Fireworks will soon light up the night sky as we celebrate the 4th of July. At home, how have you chosen to light your spaces? The perfect lamp can go from practical to decorative, a combination of function and art that adds the finishing touch to a room.

Some hints for the Living Room:

Most living spaces can handle a lamp height of 26-34" tall.
To avoid accidental tipping, make sure the base is substantially weighted even in slender styles.
A fabric or paper shade can minimize glare plus provide a warm glow.
For reading, select a bulb with minimum of 60 watts.
The living room is a great showroom for a favorite object re-purposed into a lamp.

Hints for the Bedroom:

This is the best place for delicate and pretty lamps.
Consider the size of your bed when selecting a bedside table lamp.
Remember to save room for essentials like an alarm clock, books, and glasses.
Try a lamp with a switch on the cord for ease in turning off when you get drowsy.

Celebrate with us at Trove and light up your life. Happy 4th!

Remember Dad on His Special Day!

2011-06-15T12:01:00.000-07:00

Have a favorite memory of your Dad?

When I think of Dad, I remember long evening walks in our neighborhood. It was our time together without any of my siblings. My brother remembers hours spent building things with Dad. A friend recalls riding motorcycles with his father. Another friend thinks of positioning a lamp precisely over the car engine so his father could make the necessary repairs.

Maybe your budget does not include a vintage car, but original automobile photography by Steven Crainford would look great in any man's private space....

Photography by Steven Crainford now available at Trove.

Polished Aluminum Serving Pieces

2011-06-06T12:50:00.000-07:00

I just love shiny stuff!! Trove now has VIVAZ polished aluminum pieces designed for serving. They are handmade in Mexico from recycled metal using a traditional method of sand casting.

VIVAZ products are California Prop. 65 compliant, meaning they contain no traces of cadmium or lead.

With a few simple precautions your items will retain their beautiful luster indefinitely.
1. Hand wash in warm soapy water.
2. Coat lightly with cooking oil when serving salty or acidic foods.
3. Avoid prolonged storage of food.
4. Do not cut on aluminum or the surface will scratch.

The best feature of all: pieces may be chilled prior to use or heated to 300F before serving.

Visit Trove soon to see these new beautiful aluminum serving pieces before they are all gone!

Get Ready for Outdoor Living!

2011-05-26T11:25:00.000-07:00

www.gardenside.com

The Lister Lutyens Company has existed for over 100 years producing quality garden furniture in durable teak using traditional joints. Both classic and contemporary styles are available. The traditional selection contains timeless designs while the modern selection combines teak with fabrics and stainless steel. Only the finest grade A teak from renewable, sustainable sources is chosen for its qualities of warmth, durability, and stability. Its unique texture and leathery smell are due to the high oil content of the wood and it is these natural characteristics that prevent warping and rot.

Untreated and exposed to fluctuations in weather, teak will assume an attractive silver gray color. An occasional washing with warm soapy water with discourage the growth of moss. To maintain the original finish, a teak dressing is recommended.

Join us for a Memorial Weekend celebration and to view the great collection of teak outdoor furniture in both traditional and contemporary designs.

Meet Kristin Jakob, Botanical Artist

2011-05-18T09:53:00.000-07:00

http://www.kristinjakob.com/I had the pleasure of meeting Kristin Jakob one day at Trove. She was excited to show us her collection of botanical drawings and very happy to answer a few of my questions.

What led you to botanical art?
I had been drawing since I was old enough to grip a tool, but up until the age of 12, my favorite subjects were animals. At the age of 12, a close neighbor introduced me to the great wide world of plants, and my family joined the then young California Native Plant Society.

Why do you include the scientific names on your drawings?
Since my interest in plants is scientific as well as artistic, the scientific names are important as the only constant- the same plant can have numerous common names, even in one language, and several different plants can have the same name.

Where do you look for inspiration?
I look for inspiration in the natural world, as well as amongst garden plants and horticultural selections, though wild species were, and remain, my favorite subjects, an I hold California native plants particularly dear.

Here is a sample of her work. Come to Trove to view her collection in various sizes including greeting cards!

2011-05-04T12:32:00.000-07:00

Do you know what your Mom wants for her special day? Mine always says she doesn't want anything, but loves small nicely wrapped packages anyways. I have lots of ideas for that package this year and green is her favorite color!! What are you buying for your Mom?

Celebrate Mom!

2011-05-02T12:48:00.000-07:00

Time to celebrate your Mom! Give her something colorful and wish her a happy day.
Mother's Day is next Sunday, May 8th.

Remember Mom on Mother's Day

2011-04-27T13:29:00.000-07:00

I am so excited.... a fabulous collection of spa-like supplies arrived at Trove just in time to let me create a relaxing experience for Mom. The scents of the soaps and candles are amazing and so perfect for Spring.

Mother's Day is approaching fast... on May 8th.

Gift Ideas for Mom

2011-04-25T14:21:00.000-07:00

Ewww! I just love surprises! Even better is to create a surprise for someone else... like my Mom. I can't wait to select something special for her from Trove. Everything is so beautiful and not so expensive. This will be lots of fun... but don't tell her. Okay?

Remember Mother's Day is May 8th.

Grasshoppers and Orchids in Exquisite Stone Art

2011-04-18T12:24:00.000-07:00

Stopping dead in my tracks, I thought I saw a tiny green grasshopper sitting on one of the soapstone boxes in Trove. Waiting for it to hop to its neighboring box, I realized it was an amazing carved replica of a real insect. It sat regally on a blade of grass and even wore life-like antennae!

I was told that these soapstone items are crafted by Le Van Anh whose family has been carving stone for generations. He is inspired by his natural surroundings and recreates the leaves, flowers, insects, and frogs from his own garden in Vietnam.

Vietnamese carved stone art has existed for more than 3000 years where intricate techniques of carving, sanding and painting are passed from master to apprentice. Soapstone, occurring naturally in Asia provides an exquisite canvas for the creation of decorative boxes. All the carving is done free-hand resulting in three-dimensional pieces with timeless organic flow.

Join me at Trove to catch the grasshoppers and frogs and admire the pink and purple orchids. Grasshopper tea boxes, originally priced at $98 are available for $52.

Accessories Have Arrived!

2011-04-13T10:45:00.000-07:00

Ever been to a high end spa where you loved the accessories used to hold towels and tissues? Ordinarily sold through fine retailers or found in upscale hotels, Via Motif creates stylish collections for bedside, bath, table, and desk. A blend of rich materials, artisan techniques, and cutting edge technology combine to make casual yet luxurious items. Come to Trove and see the new arrivals!

Transforming a Burl...

2011-04-04T13:52:00.000-07:00

A giant box of hand turned bowls, vases, and spheres crafted by Neal DeVore arrived at Trove on Friday.

DeVore began turning wood on a lathe as a hobby in 1990. Since 1996 he has produced professional works which are featured in several galleries including the DeYoung Museum.

Most of the wood he uses for his projects are from reclaimed stumps or dead timber. The unique characteristics of the wood prized for its configuration and grain dictate the appearance of the finished piece. Much of DeVore's work is from redwood, but he also works in maple, sycamore, ash, and other woods.

Have you ever seen "reinvented" burl? Come and see this collection of exceptional pieces at Trove and tell us which one is your favorite.

"Crystal-eria" for your Table

2011-03-28T11:25:00.000-07:00

I was immediately struck by the bright colors. My eye caught the light streaming through the ceiling display of red, green, amber, and plum glass. What gorgeous vivid colors!

I learned that Vivaz products are handmade in Mexico by experienced artisans using centuries old glass blowing techniques. Crafted by hand from lead free recycled glass, the result is charming individual pieces that are not exactly alike in size or shape. Color is added during the cooling process as the item is shaped. A final bonus: each unique piece is completely dishwasher safe.

Can I tell you something? My personal favorite are the red wine decanters, exquisitely shaped like wide water pitchers and able to safely stand upright or at a slight angle (for those of us who believe wine is better when allowed to breathe). These decanters were originally priced at $58 and are currently selling for $29. Come in and see the collection of bolita glass collection at Trove.

Confessions of a Trovie

2011-03-21T16:27:00.000-07:00

Can I confess to you that I love the little store on Tenth and Gilman called Trove? It is truly a treasure trove filled with beautiful items anyone would adore for their home.

Did I mention that I love the store? I could seriously live there!

It smells great when you walk in the door... they tell me it is the candles. The scent reminds me of wonderful cold days spent baking delicious sweet cakes. No calories with these aromas though. They also have a great collection of luxury linens in gorgeous fabrics and styles and lots of pillows to match. There is even a screaming deal on this bed-in-a-bag. Only $39... can you believe it? Diving deeper into the store, there are brightly colored table linens, dishes in funky designs with gnomes, and glasses adorned with goldfish or dragonflies. My all time favorite are the hand blown Mexican glasses in the turquoise blue of the Caribbean Sea. The last showroom holds the selection of furniture and it is not just everyday boring, traditional stuff. There are lots of special pieces that would work in any contemporary environment.

I saved the best part for last... everything is discounted all the time... from 40-70%. How could you possibly go wrong? I will soon be taking up residence on the Brownstone Fontaine leather bed with the Shamiana chocolate brown and copper spread in the back. See you there!

Lofty Dreams...

2010-05-26T14:53:00.000-07:00

Hello Trover's,

So last week our Visual Designer had just finished creating a new bedroom (the Loft Collection). The room was fabulous, but there was something that was still needed.

We then decided to paint the wall a "sandy" color, so we got the paint and 45 minutes later it was done! Our team at trove is great, and we are always getting new things & changing it up. It is so much fun working here.

Everything you see in the picture is for sale at an amazing price. If there are any questions you have please don't hesitate to contact us.

Sweet dreams to you from trove...

Accessorize To The Max

2010-05-13T17:09:00.000-07:00

Trove was featured on NFT - Not For Tourists Site!

Admit it: even though you've convinced yourself that you're satisfied with the furniture and housewares you've acquired second-hand through Craigslist, you secretly wish you could have gotten them new, and that it was a little more chic. If only the cost of a cherry-finished coffee table wasn't equal to your monthly rent. Trove, located in Gilman Village, is the best bet for making that possible. Want to accessorize your dull utilitarian couch with some colorful, embroidered throw pillows? Think that bistro-style plates and bowls would add some class to your kitchen? You could find all that here, and actually afford it, with prices being up to 70% off. Though technically an outlet, it certainly doesn't have the feel of one, with an endless array of unique high-quality furnishings and accessories that put Pier 1 and Pottery Barn to shame. Even if you don't really need anything new, it's still fun to come in and browse, and remind yourself that you don't need to hit up Craig or the flea market the next time you need a new bed frame or tumbler set.
