Where: Mercado, Silver Lake, LA
Why: Most stores decorate the dressing room as an after thought (if at all). But at design and decor store, Mercado, their tall and thin black door at the back of the store opens to reveal some unexpected colour within, like a dark coat taken off to reveal a sophisticated red dress underneath. Makes a nice pairing with last week's TileVault post from Maxwell.
