Furnishing our Store

The first pieces of furniture/fixtures have started coming in. Most interesting are the reproduction French antique pieces from Country Corner (a French company). We are very impressed with the level of quality and the attention to detail with the patina. Take a look for example at the brand new key that was painted and then distressed, or the French style shelf brackets, very nice.

New Vent du Sud Coated Tablecloths

We have stocked up on French Country coated tablecloths from Vent du Sud and expanded our selection. These tablecloths have been very popular for us, so we decided to carry more designs. We’ve added the Bandol in three colors–Kiwi, Bleu, and Ocre–and the Giens and Tamaris styles. We also now have the popular Valensole in Safran (yellow).
Their success is due to the combination of quality (100% cotton, made in France), beautiful designs, ease of use (the coating keeps the stains away) and great price. If you have kids and want something nice for your table that is also easy to take care of, this is your ticket. So take a look at our selection–round or rectangle, we are sure you’ll find the one you need.

We found our new home
September 10, 2009 at 12:50 pm | In Boutique | Leave a CommentIn our last post, we told you that we were looking at locations in Old Town Tustin to open our boutique. Well, we are happy to announce that the search is over, I Dream of France has a new home.
The unit we found is located at the Prospect Village, a newly finished live-work community located in the heart of Old Town Tustin. These new buildings are located on the site of a historic building, the Utt Juice Co. Built in the early 1900s, it was once home to one of the biggest juice businesses around, and the Utt Juice Co. was at one time the largest employer in the city. The business closed in 1973 and the building remained mostly empty since then. In its place now stands a group of buildings, including two rows of live-work units and an additional building that is going to house a restaurant.
We are very excited to be one of the first shops opening in this beautiful property and to see it come to life with other businesses in the coming months! We’ll post more pictures in the coming days as we set up the store. Become our fan on Facebook to see more pictures.
