My favorite furniture and home accessories store, Les InTerieurs,

located at Westcliff Court in Newport Beach, has opened a second location

in San Juan Capistrano.

Les InTerieurs, South, at (949) 489-0505, which features a combination of

home furnishings, accents, as well as interior plants and decorative

accessories.
