NY Times: A Beautiful Mess, a new shop in the 1950s-era Whizin Market Square, 10 miles from Malibu, Calif., is an antiques collective. But not a typical one, said Kymberley Fraser, who opened it with six other antiques dealers, all women. A diverse collection of items is mixed to form a cohesive look. There are furnishings created from recycled finds by the Junk Girls; pieces by the designer Marilyn Thompson; primitive American objects from the dealer Karen Chambers; French and American pieces from the designer Victoria Stoehr; American antiques from the dealers Leah Cox and Tina O’Flaherty; and items from Ms. Fraser, like an ottoman ($1,800) and wing chair ($2,600) covered in antique German hemp-linen grain bags, above, and a willow basket ($89), left.
