House 1002

Unique and fun! My husband and I were on the hunt for a specific style of coffee table. With no luck in the big box stores, my coworker recommended we give this place a try.
My husband and I went on a Saturday afternoon. It is located on the corner of pacific and 10^th. Parking was a tad bit difficult because there is only street parking. The store itself was fairly large and filled with so much furniture, décor, and trinkets. The store was not crowded, but there were a steady stream of people coming and going. We spent over an hour browsing and looking at all the amazing pieces. We found a couple of mid century modern chairs we loved, but someone beat us to the punch and purchased them as we were debating whether we should buy them or not. Word to the wise! If you see something here and you love it, buy it or someone else will.
After wandering aimlessly and not finding the coffee table we wanted, a nice young woman offered to help us. She introduced us to Larry (he makes custom pieces for the store), and he was able to create the coffee table we envisioned. From start to finish, it took about 4 – 5 weeks, but it was well worth it.
Final thoughts: Great way to spend an afternoon, especially if you love looking at unique items. If you need a custom piece, Larry is your man. I highly recommend House 1002.

I attempted to browse the store, and the owner acted petrified. I was interested in one of the organs. I buzzed the door for service, the guy looked me up and down asked what wanted, and never let me in.

What a treasure trove! I am newer in town and happened to meander in after brunch and was delightedly surprised at the amount of cool finds inside. Sculpture of all scale and sizes, marine props, garden balls and yard art, industrial and concrete tables, vintage wooden desks — everything mixes happily including some grand fiddleleaf figs. Everything is well photographed & itemized on the website but make sure to go in — the building is amazing as well. Will definitely be making another pass.
Happy Hunting!

LOVE this place– such an eclectic collection of treasures and the proprietors are great to chat with, very helpful and have an excellent eye. I could spend hours just looking around!

I can’t say enough about Cathie Goldberg and her art of succulent wall hangings. Larry Lubow and Cathie Goldberg have helped my otherwise dull garden turn beautiful, with a four-​foot, picture-​like, wall garden that has succulents, old metal crosses, and candles hanging from it. If you are looking for unusual and artistic items to help transform your home or garden, go to House 1002 or call Cathie for ideas.

What a fabulous antique store! I just happened to see it while driving by & am so glad I stopped in. Staff was friendly & helpful. Stock was well-​curated & reasonably-​priced. I was in a bit of a rush, trying to get to other stores before closing, but will definitely be back in the near future. This place is really a gem!

What an amazing store, and amazing people, everyone in there was more than happy to help me find what i needed, and gave me wonderful ideas for my little business. If you love history and taking your time finding just the right thing, give them a visit. Is so much fun getting lost in there.

Love, love, love this place. Always new stuff and totally unique. Worth a trip to Pedro. I bought this grill for waaay under what they could’ve charged. You won’t be disappointed.

I love everything and all of you girls. Great listeners. And, most importantly, wonderful sharers of experiences. Thank you girls!

Wow! I could spend all day here. This place has a great mix of vintage, antique and oddities. The folks are really nice, too! I will be a regular!

This is probably one of the best antique/​vintage shop in all California. The people there are friendly and knowledgeable. you can spend almost all day looking at stuff there. The prices are really good too.

I went there a few weeks ago and not only did I but great things, but I feel I made new friends!
This is a cross between Anthropologie and a great Antiques shop!

This place is great! Lots of great stuff and good prices. The staff is super nice and easy to talk to as well. It’s like a cool vintage shop in LA without the LA prices.
GO!

I absolutely love this place. Great finds and great prices! I found some pretty awesome pieces to create a pirate treasure chest/​ice chest. And jut today found a beautiful vintage frame that will be used as a photo prop. The owners are so nice… Great customer service;)

Such a neat, unique store! I went to their Antique Roadshow event this evening and it was a blast. The owner and her husband are such nice people. They’re really passionate about the art and the cool, funky antiques that they sell. I highly suggest checking this place out if you want a unique piece of décor or furniture for your home. And spend a moment to have a glass of wine and a chat with the owners!

One can spend hours in this store, finding one of a kind items that you don’t need but won’t be able to live without once you’ve discovered them (or they’ve discovered you). Stuff isn’t super cheap, but it’s not overpriced either. And the stock constantly changes, as they are always adding new finds. The store is run by a collective of artists with diverse but all interesting tastes. In short, House offers an impeccably and imaginatively curated selection of household goods, jewelry, furniture, clothes, toys, bric a bric, thingamijigs and whatnots. Plus, the owners are good citizens; they host fundraisers for local schools and just generally are nice people.

Great shop! Lots and lots of fun finds here. I went in to look and came out with goodies for the house and a gift for the hubby. Furniture, chatzkies, décor. Just really, really cool stuff. And if you’re buying a few things, they just might you give you adeal. The ladies who run the place have a good eye for unique things, and the prices are fair. Get out there and support this great new local business! If you miss the Emporium on 6^th street, this place will fill the void.
(I would have give the shop 5 stars, not only for what they offer, but also for the awesomeness of the customer service. Unfortunately Unilocal has a way of eliminating 5 star reviews so I gave them a 4 in the hopes this one would stick.)

San Pedro has long been a place of hidden treasures. Well. Hidden from those that live in the corridor between Santa Monica and downtown L.A. who have probably heard vague tales of this place called San Pedro but have little idea of where it might actually be or why they should go there.
Now you have a reason to use your GPS and take a safari to the unknown wilds of the South Bay. And the reason is House 1002. Normally, San Pedro discoveries are legacies of a bygone era, dusty old shops and restaurants that have been South Bay institutions for decades but House 1002 is new. Brand new.
Anyone who has scoured Silver Lake and Los Feliz for unique furniture and decorative arts stores knows that great finds usually come with an equally great price tag but, at least until everyone else figures it out, the antique furniture, garden pieces, metal sculptures and an assorted mélange of one of a kind decorative objects at House 1002 are not only reasonably priced but downright criminally cheap.
Maybe it’s a loss leader designed to bring in new customers – maybe it’s a permanent pricing strategy – but whatever the case it’s worth a trip down to San Pedro sooner rather than later. It’s hard to imagine some of what I saw lasting long. And since most of what they sell appear to be one of a kind, once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.
If you’re looking to decorate your apartment or home and you have a budget and you’d rather not max out your credit card buying junk made in China at Pottery Barn, this is the place for you.
They don’t have everything of course. I didn’t see any couches or upholstered chairs for instance, but they do have things I haven’t seen anywhere else. An antique high-​backed Irish bench with storage in the seat, for instance, is something you would easily have to pay three times higher for at similar store in Hollywood.
One of the great pleasures of House 1002 is that it has such a wide range of objects and pieces that you will find yourself spending an hour scouring through the shelves for little gems that are priced more like rocks.
I found an antique chemistry beaker, for instance, for something like $ 22. What would you do with an antique chemistry beaker you ask? I don’t know what you would do, but that’s the second great pleasure of this store. It not only allows for your creative impulses, it demands creativity. There are dozens and dozens of little items like that that you could combine to make a stellar decorative piece for your home that make you happy and be the subject of conversation and praise.
In fact, it’s an entire store of conversation pieces – where everything comes built in with a story.
My advice is to get down to this store quickly and bring a u-​haul with you because leaving empty-​handed is nearly impossible.
