| ICON INVENTORY--Says owner David Skelly: "Just got items in from three separate estates and had to totally re-do the shop. It came together great! More went to storage and will filter into the shop when there's room! Oh the anticipation!" Image is the shop's second floor looking toward the back. More photos below. |
ARCHITECTURAL TOURISM—In our next lives my bride and I won’t
return to an Arts & Crafts bungalow.
Instead, we’ll be in a 1950s mid-century modern home or condo in
Coronado or along Sixth Avenue next to Balboa Park or maybe Alvarado Estates. Our wish list is very short. Of course, we have no intention of leaving
our historic 1915 Craftsman, especially as the bungalow nears her 100th
birthday.
But
for now, we’ll just admire repurposed modern furnishings and accessories by
visiting Boomerang for Modern in Little Italy.
Today, owner David Skelley, facebooked that he just added new vintage
items (some in the photo above) to his inventory that he obtained recently from
several estate sources.
Boomerang
isn’t the only mid-century retailer in town, but Skelley’s store is by far one
of the most interesting and definitely hippest period stores in town--period.
Boomerang
is the first place I’d visit for furnishings if I happened to purchase one of
architect Jonathan Segal’s NorthParker lofts now building built (30th
& Upas).
