Although the main part of Silver Lake's Sunset Junction might have lost some of its beloved design/furnishing shops thanks to rising rents (RIP Sunset Orange and The Den of Antiquity), we're happy to see a lovely new kid on the block pop east of the Junction, right next door to The Living Room...
LA Store: Mercado

Inside Mercado's black awning shop is a meticulously well-thought decor shop that reminded of us of our own past daydreams for an "antiquities-meets-modern" interior. Curvaceous glass jars, faux tile floor rugs, delicate jewelry, housewares, pillows and custom upholstered furniture (our favourite piece is the custom upholstered green chicken and egg print seating above)...the store's selection is well edited, thoughtfully display, and as sophisticated as Mercado owner Chelsea Iovino's friendly pet poodle. A most welcome to Silver Lake's ever changing neighborhood.

I'm pretty sure the Den of Antiquity closed for remodeling. Are they never going to reopen now?

I went to "mercado" last weekend, it is pretty lame. the same designer candles, greeting cards and soap they stock at 50 stores just like it in LA. Nothing original or unique about it at all. Yes, the dog is cute - everything else in the place is so insufferably dull and ordinary it's hard to even focus. Banal is the new "hip".

stopped in this weekend. awesome store. little french feathered hats to die for. jewelry I had never seen. Check out the amazing lights above the cash register.

I LOVE Mercado. It is by far my favorite store. I don't know what Wandab was on when he/she went there... but it was clouding her/his vision. Every time I go to Mercado I find the absolute perfect gift. I am so happy that they opened and hope they are there for many years to come.

mercado is refreshingly unlike any other store in los angeles.
thank goodness. and the ladies who own it are very nice and friendly. I love their take on salvaging vintage furniture. that chicken chair is amazing!!
plus they have complimentry gift-wrap, which is so simple yet uber chic.
i love it in there, it's my new favorite store!
