Window Shopping: Hoot n’ Anny in Westlake Village
While doing the rounds at the Westlake Design Center, I stumbled upon a new shop that just opened up a couple months ago called Hoot n’ Anny. Lets take a look inside, shall we?
Meet Jennifer, she’s the proud owner of Hoot n’ Anny. And she knows how to rock out a can of chalkboard paint…
As I browsed her store, it was immediately apparent Jennifer knows how to take on a large and intimidating a space, all while thinking cleverly outside of the box…
Along one wall she has a pair of mile high open-gaping windows that are side by side, and what does she do? She cleverly dresses them in drop cloths and gathers the centers with burlap sacks. The result is ethereal…
Take a peek to the left of the black striped arm chair, behind the circus poster. That’s an old bed frame hung against the wall that she’s layered lights underneath. It glows once the sun starts to set…
I am loving the multitude of textures going on in this ladder vignette below..
Take a chair, any chair…
I’ll have the one in the middle, thank you very much…
Hoot n’ Anny is having a grand opening this weekend, Fri Sat & Sun from 10 – 5. If you stop by, please tell her The Old Painted Cottage sent ya!
Westlake Design Center. 31149 Via Colinas #610. Westlake Village. CA
Check out her website and she’s also on facebook too!

In other news, remember this eye sore of a cinderblock wall which separates our living room and dining room…
We were making some headway on the project, that was until the cinderblock started crumbling every time we tried to drill into it, despite the meanest masonry drill bit we could find. We are working on a solution, and that solution (a.ka. my favorite handyman named Chalo) is hopefully going to come out next week and give us a hand.
Also, word has it we are planning on having our handyman build us a custom made mantel for our fireplace wall.
Woo to the Hoo!

Weird, and so TRUE!

Love that store! So eclectic - everything from early American to Pottery Barn to Cottage. Makes me wish I lived in Southern California again (well, long enough for a long visit to go to Hoot n Anny anyway!). Thanks for always featuring interesting posts - can't want to see what you do with that cinderblock wall!

Jennifer...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that shop and wish I lived closer. It would only be a 3 day trip for me from NY...LOL. I don't know why we don't have similar shops around here. Hmmmmm....something to think about.
So...I have to tell you that every time I find myself at a crossroads or in a quandry over my home...I click back to your blog. Your style is like a soothing summer breeze for me. I love every nook and cranny of your home. Inspiration at every corner at any time of year. Thanks for the eye candy!
