ROOTED IN THE BELIEF THAT SANCTUARY EXISTS EVERYWHERE, OFTEN HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT.

This week, I’m trying something new for paid subscribers: a Sanctuaries-coded edit of finds across Los Angeles. Furniture and objects on Facebook Marketplace, upcoming auctions and estate sales worth exploring, and notable homes newly on the market. Everything is chosen for its character, craftsmanship, or a certain je ne sais quoi. Because there’s pleasure in finding something special — and imagining a life with it — even if you never make it yours.
Any good treasure hunter knows Facebook Marketplace holds gems; the trick is sorting through the rest. This week’s best finds: stained glass, intricate woodwork, sculptural lighting, and a few very good uses of color. If something catches your eye, don’t linger too long.
Below: a stained-glass screen I can’t stop thinking about, an orange fireplace with a caveat, and an architect’s Silverlake home that went straight onto my vision board. Plus, a familiar Sanctuaries home is now on the market.
