Well,
We finally did it. We have been hoping for one particular location in Carmel-by-the-Sea for years,
We have missed it twice, but perseverance pays! Avant Garden and Home has a new Home.
We are now at San Carlos and Seventh. Weeks of Painting, redesign and rearranging really paid off. Soaring two story ceilings arched windows and great hardwood floors really enhance the whole feel of the new store. As always, the only way to really know Us is to experience Us.

Spring Cleanup Sale.

February 13th -20th We will be having our Spring cleaning sale. all of the store will be discounted up to 30%. We will also be hosting a ribbon cutting to celibrate our seventh anniversary.
Cheers!

support the 3/50 project

Keep Carmel Valley Vibrant and viable, support the merchants where you live!

Created to build loyalty and increased revenue for independent, locally owned businesses, The 3/50 project relies on a simple message: “Pick 3. Spend 50. Save your local economy.”

• Pick three locally owned businesses you would hate to see disappear, and then return to them.

• Spend $50 per month in locally owned businesses. If half the employed U.S. population did so, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue.

• For every $100 spent in locally owned businesses, $68 returns to the local community.

When spent in a big box, chain, or franchise, $43 remains. Purchases made online return nothing.

such a life

Somewhat Sad, but from a store standpoint, quite glad. Our hand painted ceramic barbecue from the beautiful seaside village of Positano, Italy has found a new home, The seaside hamlet of Carmel, California. Every barbecue should have this good a life.

Fun Contest and a gift certificate

I got an Idea!!!!
Please send us an image of something imaginative you have done with an item purchased from Avant Garden and Home. It can come from our Carmel Valley Village store or from AvantGardenandHome.com.
