old mixed with new + RJ Imports in San Juan Capistrano

RJ Imports has just stocked up and they have so much great stuff I just had to share.  I have my eye on a few things and if this is your style and you live with a hundred miles you may want to check it out.  It's just off the 5 freeway in San Juan Capistrano.
I'm thinking one of these industrial metal cabinets would look great in an all white bathroom or in a guest room for extra linens and towels.
These tables are almost 12 feet long.  In the right house...
I love these huge turquoise display cabinets and can imagine using them in a small store.




Donna at RJ Imports helped me choose this piece.  I purchased it before our house was finished and they kept it for months until we were ready.  I absolutely love it....it is essentially my desk or office.  All of my supplies fit inside and when I'm home working (at the kitchen table) I leave the doors open and it looks great.  The size accommodates everything and I have it organized in a way that basically everything is right where I need it.   office, school, mailing, gift wrap supplies...


This piece is also great for storage.  I have all my table linens and silver in here.

I had been looking for a a square table to fit inside the sectional sofa.  It's difficult to find something that's not modern in a square.  Since the sofa is modern, I really wanted to find something that would soften that modern feel.  This was perfect.

  5. Hello Annie:
    Indeed, RJ Imports is an Aladdin's cave of treasure. So much that fires the imagination and that one could instantly place in one's home. The armoire works so very well in your own home and what a clever idea to us it as your 'home office'. So beautiful to look at when not in use and so practical when in operation.

  6. The place sounds amazing, but what you've done with the pieces you bought is even more so. Your photography is magazine quality.
    There was a place kind of like this in LA that I used to visit and over time I amassed a huge collection of Talavera pottery. I arranged the plates in a beautiful elongated diamond shape on the wall, and they were stunning. These import places are such fun.

  10. Wow! What an amazing place to poke around in. Love the great big turquoise display cabs! One of those would be terrific in an unfitted kitchen used as a pantry. The vintage pieces add so much heart to your home. Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

  25. Ron is a Wholsaler. Blogging about this and telling everyone about RJ's is going to make the prices go up. Good secrets need to be kept to themselves unless you want to start paying jux ta position prices.
