Cannery Exchange Design Studio

Just came by at 3pm on a Thursday and they’re closed… Not even a «closed early» sign… Unfortunately not adhering to posted hours is a definite deal breaker for me.

Do yourself a favor and stop here! Treasures galore! These ladies have an amazing and articulate eye. Gorgeously curated selection. Every time I stop in I find something unusual and fabulous! They have lots of vintage jewelry too!

Arlene, the owner and interior design maven of Cannery Exchange offers some of the most unusual, reasonably priced antiques in So Cal. I asked her for help designing the powder room in my home. She suggested a one of a kind black and gray grained, heavy marble wash bowl that she paired with an intricately carved, rich red and black Chinese cabinet. We had the bowl converted into a wash basin and secured it on top of the Chinese cabinet. I have decorated several multimillion $ homes in OC and LA, spending big bucks on interiors. Yet, as high end as the furnishings are in my present home, the piece that most of my guests comment about is the converted bowl and cabinet that I bought from Arlene. And I payed a pittance for it! Arlene has a rare gift for spotting a diamond in the rough, and transforming it in to a dazzling piece of art. She and husband Len are a couple of knowledgable, cordial gems. They seem to enjoy visitors to their store, taking the time to answer questions and offer design suggestions if you want them. Give yourself the gift of a visit to the Cannery Exchange.

Nan and Pop’s shop! The best antique shop in SoCal, by far, written up in Luxe magazine and local papers for their selection and style — owned and operated by two truly visionary artists/​designers who KNOW their stuff! And they keep it real — affordable treasures galore and such a warm, inviting, and stylish interior! Everything from vintage jewelry to mink and fox fur coats, a WIDE selection of chandeliers, lamps and other lighting delights!
THey are welcoming and helpful, no snobbishness here! A family-​owned bix to the core, we spent hours in here and left with tons of goodies without spending a fortune, a nd felt good about supporting such a fabulously wonderful pair of human beings. I love this place, bring a friend and some spending $ and HAVE FUN! :)
