Just Like The Model. |
This past week, a dear friend of mine asked me to name three things in my life that are Healthy Habits.
I described:
1. Exercise {Running, Swimming, Crossfit-Esque-Activities}
2. Writing
3. Shopping & Decorating
Shopping and Decorating.
They are synonymous to me.
Whether decorating “myself” or “my home”, both bring my heart much happiness.
Do Shopping & Decorating Count as Healthy?
I would argue, yes, yes, yes!
Upon further consideration I really started examining my head for why I love shopping and “decorating” so much.
The heart of it all for me {once I got out of my head} was my love for finding a deal.
And then bringing it to you of course!
There is something so invigorating and infusing to my soul to score a deal.
Whether it be shoes, holiday decor, clothing, kitchen gadgets, kids items, or furniture, I really have always resonated with this internal leap towards goodness, grace, and gorgeous finds!
That is why, today, without further ado, I bring you a secret spot.
I mean, we only have days left, why not let it all out?!
Ahh.
It feels so good to share.
Located in Irvine now, (they recently moved there showroom from Fountain Valley) sits the warehouse of model home goodies.
From artwork, couches, pillows, appliances, mattress’s, barstools, coffee tables, indoor-plants, to bedroom sets, Just Like a Model has it all.
Hubby and I discovered it a couple years ago when we moved into our first home.
All Credit to Decorator mother-in-law who called me from Just Like The Model as exclaimed,
“You must come to Fountain Valley…NOW!”
I got my bottom in my car as fast as I could come up with an excuse for work, and zipped up the 5.
Our whole living room is basically from Just Like the Model.
I feel in love with our cream couches and chairs, and knew they would work perfect in our lovely living room.
I have gone back over the years to look for furniture, ideas, and inspiration.
But, with prices 30-70% off what you would normally spend for home items, its no wonder this place can barely keep items on the floor.
As we were warned, if you fall in love with something, purchasing then is the key.
Items slip away quickly as decorators, mama-mavens, and normal folk stop by and shop away.
Just Like the Model, is literally items straight off the truck from model homes.
You know those homes that no one lives in?
No little toddler streaks chocolate down the side of?
No hubby drops an ice cream cone on?
No mama slips a glass of wine over?
Yup, those clean ones.
Ahh, home items Just Like The {Pristine} Model.
And with a new address closer to South County, you might just spot me there.
