[title]Lolita Lempicka creative director Elisa Lempicka infuses her West Village duplex with her European heritage by filling it with furniture from Parisian flea markets and various family members. She mixes in newer pieces from NYC stores such as ABC Carpet & Home, Moon River Chattel and John Derian that match her rustic sensibility.

John Derian 6 E 2nd St between Bowery and Second Ave (212-677-3917, johnderian.com)
Lempicka relies on this irreverent yet elegant boutique for everything from Astier de Villatte candles to rare North African rugs. “It has a really small but well-edited selection,” she says. “I love the atmosphere—it’s really a European feel. There’s always a twist of something a little bit funny, or a touch of New York.”
Melet Mercantile 84 Wooster St between Broome and Spring Sts (212-925-8353, meletmercantile.com)
“I really like the selection of vintage books and it has some great photographs,” says Lempicka of the constantly refreshed, appointment-only vintage showroom. During the summer, she hits up the store’s seasonal Montauk location to check out retro surfboards and antique vinyls.
The Morrison Hotel Gallery 124 Prince St between Greene and Wooster Sts (212-941-8770, morrisonhotelgallery.com)
“I’m really into this kind of rock-music photography from the ’70s,” says Lempicka of the Soho gallery, specializing in fine prints of iconic artists. “It’s really my thing.” In addition to purchasing pieces for her own collection, she’s scooped up portraits of the Doors and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young for her father.
