It’s springtime on the Westside! For some people, spring cleaning also means spring sprucing up. This could be in the form of new paint, new flooring, or maybe some new furniture. So, when I saw a great article about the best furniture and antique stores in the LA area, I knew that I wanted to tell my readers about some of the Westside furniture stores.
No matter what you love, when it comes to furniture, these boutique shops have just what you are seeking. There’s truly something for everyone.
Westside Furniture Stores: Venice
The Mart Collective in Venice
As big as the box furniture stores, The Mart Collective is 16,000 square feet of antique dealers. According to their website, “The Mart is filled with collectibles, postcards, art, cultural artifacts (like typewriters, cameras and books), one-of-a-kind gifts, oddities, curiosities and so much more.” Whether you are into unusual knick knacks, shabby chic, or the Old West, you can find it here.

Tortoise General Store in Venice
Another fun store in Venice, but on a smaller scale, is the Tortoise General Store. If you love Japanese culture, then you’ll want to stop by and see what they have to offer. Even more than a store, TGS is a way of life. “There is a certain type of tortoise that eats jellyfish off the California coast, and then swims across to Japan to lays eggs. We, ‘Tortoise,’ too, would like to connect the two countries across the Pacific, and lay some new eggs in the process.”
