Introducing…Ramona!

Urban Colony Admin — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 16:48:51 +0000

Urban Colony is thrilled to announce our new associate, Ramona M. Sliva! Ramona has been working with us for three months now, but we’ve been so busy we’ve neglected to tell you all about her–and there is lots to tell!

Ramona is an interior decorator, stylist, and stager who has been working in the industry for eight years, working mostly in the Santa Monica, Brentwood and Malibu areas. She has taken on numerous projects, including her favorite: converting a 1950’s bathroom into a Moroccan-themed one. The tiles and woodwork were custom designed by Ramona and made in Morocco (and the client was so thrilled, she invited Ramona to her birthday celebration in Marakesh in 2011).

Ramona’s style is to engage her clients by surrounding them with unique textures and interesting objects, while instilling a sense of calmness. Her two passions are shopping and travel. Her biggest design thrill was when a client gave her carte-blanche to decorate an entire floor of her beachfront home, and afterwards said “of all the homes my fiance has around the world, this is my favorite.”

Ramona has known Robert for many years, starting in the days she purchased furnishings from him in his wholesale business. They share an enthusiasm for great design and for providing excellent customer service. She is generally at the store on Sundays and Mondays, and will be happy to meet with clients by appointment any other day.

The Shops @ Woodman and Ventura

Urban Colony Admin — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 21:31:28 +0000

It has been 6 months since we moved from HD Buttercup on the the west side of Los Angeles, into our new location in Sherman Oaks! We have really enjoyed being in the Valley and meeting all our new clients (and keeping in touch with the older ones).

A couple months ago, we decided to see if our neighbors were interested in starting an association to help improve the shopping experience along Ventura Boulevard near our store at Woodman Avenue in Sherman Oaks. What started with three stores has now snowballed into 25 stores and continues to grow. Our goal is to create a pleasant stretch of Ventura Blvd. that is easy to walk and fun to shop, where customers can shop one store and get discounts in neighboring stores by showing their receipts.

Stay tuned to hear more about “The Shops @ Woodman and Ventura,” and the events we have scheduled. We are beginning by celebrating the holidays together!
