Downtown Fullerton - see map and full story

OC Register shopping guru Chantal Lamers says historic downtown Fullerton might be known for its nightlife, but it has a softer side when it comes to home interiors. Shop owners all seem to cherish similar things: pieces that are aged, sturdy and good.

Shop: Blanquel Art on Wood, Out of Vogue, Otto, The Brick Basement, Le Potager

Lunch: Cafe Hildago

Writer Julie Bawden-Davis says to travel down 17th Street in Tustin and you might just miss Enderle Center. The unimposing sign announcing the quaint shopping complex may be small, but with half-a-dozen stores offering home decor, it’s ideal for a leisurely browsing.

Shop: Under the Olive Tree, Chemer’s Gallery, Justin Porterfield, Charleston Provence

Lunch: Zov’s Bistro
