C'est La Vie in Encinitas's Westlake Design District at 565 Westlake Street stocks 18th- and 19th-century French, Swedish, and Italian antiques in a warehouse-format showroom that claims the largest selection of European period furniture in San Diego County. The women-owned gallery specializes in French provincial armoires, Gustavian Swedish painted furniture, and Italian neoclassical console tables, with crystal and wrought-iron chandeliers anchoring the lighting collection that draws renovation clients from firms like Alliance Green Builders in the Encinitas market. Inventory rotates as estate acquisitions and European buying trips replenish the floor with authenticated period pieces. The showroom sits alongside Bellini's Antique Italia and Bon Bon Home in the same Westlake complex, creating a multi-dealer design destination that serves the same remodeling and staging pipeline supported by wall-finishing specialists like Human Spectrum in Encinitas. Beds, bedroom furniture, and dining sets span Louis XV, Directoire, and Biedermeier styles. The French provincial collection includes carved-oak buffets with original iron hardware, hand-waxed fruitwood commodes, and gilt-frame trumeau mirrors authenticated by joinery technique and patina aging consistent with 18th-century Parisian workshop standards.
