LOOKING LOCAL- SALSA TRADING COMPANY

Salsa Trading Company’s tagline —its more than a look it’s a lifestyle, ring true as your wander through the spacious shop. The furniture, art and lighting collections are artfully arranged in room settings. The scale is intense and the style is defined, but each unique piece could also stand alone, accentuating a wide variety of home styles.

This metal table for example could be a beautiful artistic accent in a contemporary setting as well.

It is accentuated here with dried animal tusk from an creature you would not want roaming your local prairie but I could see a glass vessel with reed plants or a few great art books to bring it from south west to upper west side.

The selections have a simple beauty and timelessness, the natural materials allowed to speak for themselves.

The wood and leather have a natural patina and texture that has a rugged sexiness.

Some exhibits are so raw and real it’s a little dangerous.. art that excites the audience with a hint of fear.

Salsa offers an extensive selection of distressed leather upholstery, furniture incorporating reclaimed woods, antique doors, hand forged iron works.

They will also work with us to design a many custom pieces.

LOOKING LOCAL - OLIVE LEAF

Olive Leaf in Healdsburg is the self described gathering place for the ecologically minded. A great space filled to the brim with collections upon collections of interesting stuff!
The wonderful finds in this store are difficult to categorize … ecologically minded and extremely eclectic!

The numerous items throughout Olive Leaf are artful organic forms arranged in creative collections. The beauty of multiples.

The American Clay display is almost as beautiful as the wall finish itself. This and many other eco friendly building supplies can be found here including the non toxic pet friendly Mythic Paint

The Keesta bed is an innovative recycled Bio-foam mattress without a box spring which can be compressed into a recyclable box for transport. Intriguing

Someone behind the creative direction of the Olive Leaf must have a flair for the French. If you look carefully amidst the collections you find a surprisingly high number of Eiffel tower memorabilia!

There are also numerous blankets and organic clothing items throughout the store. Oh and you can eat there too!
