Location: 7385 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90036

Why We Love It: Speaking from personal experience, it was love at first sight stepping into Alexandre Ferucci's shop. Filled with iconic pieces, it's literally a design-lover's dream. Just thinking of the spaces lucky enough to be filled with this kind of furniture (cough, cough Kelly Wearstler homes) will spark your imagination.

Location: 452 S. La Brea Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90036

Best For: Paper goods, stationery, and small gifts.

Why We Love It: For those who still believe in snail mail — amen — a trip to Pulp is a must. A paper junkie's dream, you can expect rows of cards for just about any occasion. It's also a hidden spot for unique gifts. In fact, we picked up a housewarming present while there. Don't forget to wander upstairs; the upper level is made for instagramming, considering it's packed full of wrapping paper and ribbon.

Website/Additional Info: Head to Pulp's Facebook page for all the deets.

Location: 422 S. La Brea Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90036

Best For: Antique, salvaged, and period reproduction hardware.

Why We Love It: Liz's just might be the coolest hardware shop we've ever been in — seriously. The inventory is almost overwhelming, considering most parts and replacements range back over 100 years. If you love to remodel, you'll be in heaven here . . . there are pieces you wouldn't even know existed!

Best For: Over-the-top statement pieces.

Why We Love It: Even if your home isn't necessarily styled for an oversize horse or former movie prop, Nick Metropolis is a must see. Sure, most things at this collectible warehouse are extreme, but there are some gems, too. We loved these cool plastic letters — perfect for a game or media room.

Website/Additional Info: This place is better in person, but the website is a good place to prep yourself.

Location: 7382 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90036

Best For: Accessories, gifts, and inspiration.

Why We Love It: Among its sleek lines and organic flow, Ige is one of those stores that you can easily lose yourself in. Its white canvas is the backdrop for both minimalist and edgy pieces. You probably won't leave empty-handed; the prices are rather reasonable.

Location: 150 S. La Brea Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90036

Why We Love It: Maison Midi is the sister store to one of LA's favorite clothing stores, American Rag. Between the French bistro and tableware, browsing the shop feels like a momentary escape to France. Many of the pieces are perfect for Summer; having to settle on one linen tablecloth would be unfair . . .

Why We Love It: We don't love the Rose Bowl Flea Market, we're obsessed with it! A hotspot for bargaining, it's no secret it's right up there with Target for scoring a good deal. We could go on, but our guide to the Pasadena swap meet can do the rest.
