Mohawk General Store
I’ve been eyeing Mohawk General Store since it recently moved to Sunset Junction. Mohawk, the clothing and accessories store, joined forces with Amsterdam Modern, the by-appointment-only Van Nuys warehouse filled with mid-century furniture and 20th-century Dutch designs. And now they’re in one convenient location where you can get everything from cute new shoes, like these Rachel Comey booties in black leather that I am drooling over. (Hurry up and re-stock, MGS!)
Or housewears, like this Small Hanging Geo Planter in White by the always-awesome Kelly Lamb!
You can also pick up contemporary housewares, as well as American, Dutch, and Danish vintage furniture.

ModOp Is ‘Home of the Times’
The Los Angeles Times featured Greg Steinberg and Alexandra Becket’s 2-bedroom home off Melrose Avenue as the ‘Home of the Times’ this week! Greg and Alexandra, of ModOp Design, are the flippers who did my current Highland Park listing, as well as this amazing flip in Silver Lake earlier this year.
The L.A. Times featured Greg and Alexandra’s own home, which Greg bought in 1992. He stripped away many of the Spanish style elements, bringing the home almost down to the beams last year and opening up the interior significantly.
There are plenty of mid-century modern design influences thought, like Heywood-Wakefield dining table, credenza, and Eames Hang-It-All.
They also added a kitchen with the help of the Los Angeles firm Marmol Radziner.
They added a privacy fence and hardwood back deck, as well.
