Downton Shabby: A One Act

Mrs. O’Bedset: This stately manor is looking the worse for wear.

Lady Chair-y: I quite think it’s time to remodel.

MO: We should peruse the new DwellStudio shop in H.D. Buttercup. Helmed by designer Christiane Lemieux, the NYC-based line stocks a comely selection of home furnishings, original textiles, bedding, and decor.

LC: Does it have a worthy pedigree?

MO: It’s a Pinterest and design blogger’s darling. Moreover, H.D. Buttercup is the first L.A. store to house the complete line, from classics like the Hans chair to wallpaper and room collections.

LC: But what of the help?

MO: Interior designer Michelle Guilenette advises on everything from custom upholstery to the shop’s selection of vintage objets d’art. With her help, you can furnish an entire house in a weekend.

LC: What’s a weekend?
