HOME GROWN STORE 5455 W.PICO BLVD LOS ANGELES, CA 323.933.5400 shop online @ www.thehomegrownstore.comSince February of 2006 there has been a great reason to slow down on a mid city portion of W.Pico Blvd... The Home Grown Store, a source for hip, creative and beautiful gifts, art by local artists and home accessories in the emerging Wilshire Vista neighborhood. The owners- artist and retailer John Wilson, interior designer Hugo Arce - have created a modern day general store of sorts, by including in their eclectic mix of products delicious gourmet foods by Stonewall Kitchen and the Barefoot Contessa, useful, smart and unique items from their kitchen area by Silicone Zone, Totally Bamboo and Cucina, include bakeware, utensils, serving trays, coffee presses, teapots and condiment sets that are ideal for entertaining with style. Recycled wood and hand carved glass vases, lamps, ceramics, porcelain trays and boxes, picture frames and photo albums are some of the gorgeous home accessories, many of which are handmade by local artists that can be found throughout this exciting lifestyle store. Home Grown also helps with taking care of the body and mind… Aromatherapy, essential oils, body care, lotions, showergels, lip balms, soy candles, room diffusion, lavender and eucalyptus heatwraps, and let’s not forget their wildly delicious chocolate treats. Wilson and Arce have also included a terrific mix of personal accessories for men and women including handbags, wallets, jewelry, keychains and if you need a special gift for a new baby in the family, a wedding, a houswarming or perhaps something for your pet, Home Grown Store has that as well. The store, located at Pico and Carmona, is in an emerging and exciting neighborhood just a block from Bloom Cafe and it is directly across the street from the popular restaurant, CJ’s. Adding to the new ambiance is Hugo and his Design Partner BJ’s interior design studio, Peterson Arce Design Group, located on the Carmona side of Home Grown Store’s Deco Building.
