About Us

 

Hi and welcome! I’m Monica, owner and curator of Lula Eclectic. I turned my love of shopping, old things and interior decorating and turned it into this business - curating collections of antique and vintage finds for you to enjoy in your home. My style has always been very eclectic. I love so many different styles and appreciate so many different eras. My own personal style mixes clean interiors with the old and worn decor pieces I showcase on my page. Color and pattern have always been my love language and I love incorporating color alongside neutral as well. 

Now if you’re wondering where the name Lula comes from - Lula is our inspector general, aka my 11 year old Boston Terrier, Tallulah. She inspects every item that comes through our doors by giving them the sniff test, but after that, the jobs all on me! She loves a good nap sesh while I do the hard work 😂

Outside of the shop, I live with my husband and son in a 100 year old home in New Orleans and we love enjoying everything the city has to offer like great restaurants and fun festivals. If you ever need NOLA recs, I love giving them and talking everything New Orleans! Growing up in one of the oldest cities in the US led to my love and appreciation of old things and I love getting to source in one of the coolest cities in the country!

Most of my finds come from estate sales in the New Orleans area and inspiration comes from the Uptown mansions I get to dig through down to the original mid-century modern homes of the suburbs. All items are second-hand and with that comes some natural wear. I do my best to disclose any imperfections on the items listed. 

Every single item you purchase, allows me to independently provide for my family in a way that brings me joy. And for that, I am forever grateful. This job is a lot of hard work, but I am so happy to do it to bring you the joys that antique and vintage brings to your homes. 

Whether you’ve been here a while or are new to the shop, welcome! I’m so glad you’re here 😊

 

🌺 Favorite things to find: anything art nouveau, midcentury glassware, fun pieces for entertaining and, of course, art. 

🌺 Favorite places to source: estate sales and former Super Walmarts turned antique malls. 

🌺 Things I’m looking to find for myself: matching antique nightstand to the one I already have, a floor lamp for my son’s room, and a pair of matching upholstered chairs for my back living room.
