This hutch was mistakenly shown in the LA HOME ROUND-UP last week, but it is so pretty that it we thought it warranted a little investigation.

Turns out that it is from an EBay type site called 1stdibs.com.
"If you want to shop antiques from home, set an alarm for 8 a.m. Wednesdays — when 500 new items appear."

The Paul Frankl cabinet, from Modern One of Los Angeles, boasts more than mid-century lines: It is currently shown in the film Mr. & Mrs. Smith so it's really worth the $12,500 it's listed for. If money is no objet d'art the site is really worth checking out. AH

GOT A TIP about a huge sale (that started yesterday, so don't dilly-dally) at a store called Not Neutral on Melrose Avenue here in Hollywood.

While I've never been to this self proclaimed gallery/retail space, the products on the website look pretty cool, and there’s never anything wrong with 50 percent off.

I'm not sure if the sale items on the website include any of my favorite things. Lots of pieces like these white bowls (set of 12 for $30) which I do think are lovely, but what about the melamine?! (Thanks Enrique!)
