On any given Saturday you can find me strolling around the Upper East Side, coffee in hand, heading toward Mecox Gardens to find a treasure. The home decor store is an institution among designers and has opened 8 locations around the nation, including New York, Los Angeles, and Miami. When I walk through their door, my heart skips in exquisite anticipation, knowing I’ll fall in love with something. The inventory changes so frequently that surprises are always around the corner.
Mecox’s display window is frequently redecorated by top designers such as Rita Koenig and Jeffrey Bilhuber.
The store is a delicious feast for the eyes!
Unique items always pop up at Mecox, including this gorgeous wooden horse and intricately-carved wooden bench.
I developed a slight crush on the golden bird!
Intriguing vignettes are a Mecox specialty – here, I found a pair of horse head lamps on a breathtaking marble-top table.
Aren’t they gorgeous??
A turquoise bar cart is sheer perfection – especially when used to showcase a pair of cowhide boxes with zebra detailing!
A view toward the back of the store reveals a pair of unicorns and architectural stairs, among other treasures.
Silver ashtrays fit for a Pharaoh
Every tiny detail is luxurious, right down to the ice buckets
The second floor of Mecox feels like stepping into someone’s ultra-luxe apartment.
Suit of armor helmet!!
I discovered a pair of bookends that may have to come home with me.
In the upstairs “bedroom” area, the decor is lusciously masculine without feeling heavy. The pintucked leather chairs were one of my favorite finds that day!
Lighting is paramount in any room, and Mecox carries several unique lamps and chandeliers.
Sheer perfection at every turn! Do you die for that chair?? Swoon!
