when you have problems even regularly posting to one blog, what's the intelligent course of action? why start another, of course!inspired by fellow angeleno, victoria molinelli, proprietress of vicky's yard sale (and a seriously talented artist), maison21 has started a mlog, or merchandise blog, the "maison21 marketplace", to showcase his vintage decor finds in a slightly more commercial setting then our current talky and self-obsessed decorating blog.
we have tried to kick our habit of buying the vintage and the pretty, but just don't seem to have the willpower- we see a pretty thing, and the urge to take it home with us becomes too overwhelming. after a couple months of almost complete abstinence (with only the occasional slip), our jones returned even harder then before, and we realized, "why stop doing something you love?"- as long as our addiction isn't killing us, or harming others, who cares, right?
but our addiction does tend to kill our pocketbook- if we buy and don't resell, that is. so we've started the maison21 marketplace as both an outlet for our obsession and a way to feed it (basically it's an online "will work for pretty" sign). so why don't you help a brother out, and hop on over to take a look around? maybe something pretty will call out for YOU to take home and love...

Yay!
Excellent idea! I will check it out! Just the other day I was looking for interesting antiques and cool things on Craigslist Los Angeles. I typed in "Hollywood Glam" and lots of items from "M21" popped up! I recognized your items!
Oh no!! Now you're having way too much fun! Great things you have over there at the marketplace and I'll keep it in mind as a source.
Terrific idea. That's how the great ones make it big by fueling that passion. I can't wait to check it out & don't give up your addiction.
Best of luck!
