lOB Wednesday, March 25, 2011 ' Bulletin, Progressive, Record, Reporter AND ENT00IKTAI NMENT La Casa Bella: home to unique home decor I CAsA BELLA PINE rCRNISHING:.S !i)i, 'i ii i! J i Jeanne and Norm Brovelli put the emphasis on fine furnishings for any budget at La Casa Bella. Photos by Mona Hill LA CASA BELLA Mona Hill Staff Writer mhill@plumasnews.com Entering La Casa Bella is a bit like visiting someone's house and an art gallery all at the same time: comfort- able and interesting in a mixed-up kind of way. There is so much to catch the eye and capture the imagination. That's the way owners Jeanne and Norm Brovelli planned it. Jeanne said although the ba- sis of the store is furniture, they strive to create an atmosphere of art, comfort and texture. They want people to see possibilities for their own homes with home accessories and soft Eclectic color and texture are two of the hallmarks of the Brovellis' store.

She said, "So many People come in saying, 'I'm getting ideas.'" The Brovellis want their customers to feel good when they leave the store, whether they've been browsing for ideas or made a purchase. The couple want to provide personalized service and will ask a lot of questions about a customer's plans for an item -- where it will go, what its purpose is and what the bud- get is -- to help them find just the right piece. Jeanne especially enjoys helping customers with deco- rating ideas. She knows so many of their customers per- sonally. She gets a thrill when her children's friends come into the store, looking for ways to decorate their homes. Alternatively, Norm and Jeanne are equally comfort- able leaving a customer time and space to browse without hovering. There are no pushy salespeople at La Casa Bella. Jeanne comes from a retail furniture family. Growing up in Santa Clara in the 1950s and '60s, she was always intrigued with the decor as- pect of the business. She's a certified interior redesign consultant. She came to Plumas Coun- ty in 1971. Through a variety of business experiences, she has developed an expertise in customer relations. Norm comes from Butte County where he had a cabi- net shop for 20 years. Jeanne said he's the "spacemeister" with a real talent for mer- chandising the store's wall art. • They began the business six years ago after a year of considering business possi- bilities that combined their talents 'and backgrounds. Jeanne said when she saw the store was available, she rented it on the spot. Norm joked that they just beat out the "hot dog man." Jeanne said in the begin- ning the inventory was more expensive, but they've ad- justed to provide quality home furnishings for any budget. They strive to keep things affordable, especially in these times. They also look for unique • pieces in wall art, lighting, clocks -- customers will not confuse the store with Sears. Their chairs and sofas are made in the United States and they offer hundreds of fabric choices. They recently brought in Restonic beds, which are made in the Bay Area. In addition they look for lo- cal suppliers, as well as recy- cled and fair trade goods. A charming wren house -- made in Blairsden -- is a re- cent acquisition, as is the Haitian angel made from re- cycled oil drums. Norm creates many cus- tom pieces for customers, as well as the store's Cottage Fi- esta line of dressers and cabi- nets. If the Brovellis don't have "it" in stock, they'll order it or make.it. Their goal is to provide their customer with la casa bella -- a beautiful home.
