Step inside this exclusive shop and experience the alluring beauty and faded grandeur of Old Paris.
Light, airy and oh so chic, with soft French music playing and beautifully edited vignettes of muted, time worn elegance, this carefully orchestrated setting is not only the soul of our business, but this is what sets us apart.

From magnificently weathered garden urns overflowing with bouquets de fleurs, their petals falling on to a vintage satin chaise or faded velvet settee, to beaded ballroom chandeliers and jeweled theater crowns placed on one-of-a kind, be-shelled tables; these scenes, what the French call “Le Mix”, are what we do best. Beautifully layered home couture, always with a French twist and the whole effect? An alluring and gorgeous celebration of age… The French say “Entourez-vous avec ce que vous aimez”… Surround yourself with that which you love. Our belief is, when you surround yourself with beloved vintage pieces, ones that you feel a connection with, not only will you have created your own signature look, but your home will stand apart with unsurpassed style.

For over a decade, Vignettes has been known for its’ glamorous style and highly defined settings of romantique, French-inspired home and garden décor. Through the years the shop has focused on tracking down the most one-of-a-kind, show-stopping finds and then merchandising these grand pieces of the past, into irresistible, must-have displays. Whether it’s a grand Rococo mirror, shabby chic painted vanity, leather bound books, (Robinson Crusoe, a favorite of Louis XVI’s) or a phenomenal 1800’s ballroom chandelier straight from Paris; from sophisticated to whimsy, small accents to grand statements, we seek to find the ultimate, old world décor that will delight and amaze you.

We have never lost sight of the fact that our clients come to us for inspiration, to see what’s in vogue and to buy pieces they won’t find anywhere else that will truly give their homes that au courant edge. We are able to provide that almost indefinable, understated, old world elegance that may have been glimpsed in a magazine, in an old black and white movie or inside an elaborate designer showcase house. We have perfected the art of harmonizing vast collections of vintage, time-worn objects together with grand statement pieces in what is truly, the signature French decorating style…Vive La France!

With our exclusive group of 24 designer/dealers traveling the world and bringing back fabulous antique décor and statement pieces, we have attracted a steady clientele and have evolved into a unique resource for designers, the antique trade and for you. We are proud to be listed in Rachel Ashwell’s book “Shabby Chic” as one of her FAVORITE RESOURCES and Phyllis Van Doren of San Diego Home & Garden Magazine wrote “Vignettes majors in Frenchifying everything! ” Visit us in San Diego’s largest antique district and see for yourself why clients tell us every day that we are their favorite shop in San Diego… We hope you’ll feel the same.
