Bixby & Ball

We love Bixby & Ball! We’ve had an excellent experience working with Melissa. She’s helped us in designing our new addition — from architectural details and design, to paint colors, to finishes, to furniture and more. We highly recommend Melissa and Bixby & Ball!

Such a welcoming and personable boutique. You feel as if you’ve just entered a friends home and you just want to cozy up with a cup of tea and a good movie!
Perfect for all of your home décor and gift needs. From sweet jewelry, to fabulous decorative pillows, or candles. Fabulous opportunity for the perfect hostess gift!
I also really appreciate that you actually enjoy the email blasts. They send you great ideas for holiday gifts, and keep you in the loop on their upcoming events!
Not to mention, Melissa (the owner) is an incredible Interior Designer! Be sure and request her services for any of your home renovation or design needs!
Cheers to supporting your locally woman, owned and operated businesses! Yayyy for Bixby!

Really nice stuff in there, wish my home looked like this. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Most stuff on Cedros is outlandishly priced, but I was surprised by their reasonable prices.

We recently bought our little house by the beach in Leucadia and just started decorating the living room/​dining room area, what a chore! We bought a few pieces of furniture and almost threw in the towel and hired an interior decorator to take over because we were getting so frustrated. Bixby & Ball saved us from a complete meltdown.
We walked in looking for some ideas and inspiration because I liked their coastal chic style. Mary welcomed us and was so helpful. She helped us by listening and looking at our pictures and first simply suggested we rearrange our furniture to create a better flow. She gave some input on pillows and throws for the living room but we didn’t buy anything yet. We went home and moved some things around based on her suggestions and were amazed at what a simple change could make.
An hour later we were back and purchased some really nice John Robshaw textile pillows that Mary helped us coordinate based our our color ideas. We also got a nice throw, some rugs, a candle and I went back today and picked up a pricey but very cool sea urchin framed mirror we had our eye on. Mary really helped open our eyes and I must say our living room looks 100% better with a few simple changes. We couldn’t be happier, thanks guys!

Bixby and Ball is a beautifully appointed store in Solana Beach. It is a feast for the eyes as you enter the door and experience the California-​Coastal décor. Betsy Bracken is an extremely talented event planner in addition to running this beautiful store and website. Stop by and give yourself a gift of beauty.

I was recently in San Diego for a quick visit and visited Bixby and Ball. The store is adorable and has some unique/​classy items that make great gifts. I picked up a beautiful necklace and a candle. Whether you are looking to decorate your home or to find a gift, this is a great place to do that. The owners are young, hip and have tremendous sense of style.

If I could move into Bixby & Ball, I would. The lovely black lacquered bed actually looks pretty comfortable, and the kitchen’s totally functional, down to the vintage-​style Air Chill fridge. I always go to the farmer’s market on Cedros on Sundays, so when this store was in the works, I wanted to tear down the butcher paper in the window to check it out– the adirondack chairs and signage alone were enough to make me curious. They sell old and restored furniture, luxe bedding, books, candles, jewelry, and gifts. I’m getting ready to renovate my mom’s bathroom and kitchen, and I’m actually considering just turning it over to them, as it’s becoming quite a big project, and I know they’d do exactly what I’m thinking but better. I always head to this adorable seaside cottage when I need some inspiration or to wish that my house looked like this, and I usually walk out with something for myself!

Received the SOFTEST, most wonderful throw/​blanket by «A Soft Idea» from Bixby & Ball for Christmas. Wish I lived closer to Bixby & Ball. What a treasure of a store!!!

Walking into Bixby and Ball is like a Breath of Fresh Air. The light and Airy décor is comforting, welcoming, and makes me want to move into the store. The girls who own the business will go out of their way to help you. When I buy my home, I will have Bixby and Ball decorate it, I can’t wait.

Just found this store… wonderful! I spent quite a bit of money on my first visit and can’t wait to go back. Owner has a great sense of style and I can’t wait to go back.

Full of everything from furniture to inexpensive gifts, the owners not only have a great visual sense of sophisticated beach design, they also have a terrific sense of smell. I found really unique, great-​smelling scrubs, bubble baths, perfume oils, and candles as well a strong selection of carefully selected books, jewelry, kitchen wares, and other delightful items. Definitely top of my list for North County hostess, birthday, and thank you gifts and a lovely place to browse for home decorating items. Full range of prices, so should fit most budgets. Something new and different in the mix on Cedros.

What an awesome new store on Cedros in Solana Beach. If you love the coastal beach look, you will love this store. The owners, Melissa and Betsy, couldn’t have been more helpful and were knowledgable on all of the products… so many unique items that I haven’t seen before. The furniture is so reasonably priced. Love love love Bixby & Ball!

Bixby & Ball is a fabulous store with the cutest home décor around. Walking through the front door I felt like I stepped inside Coastal Living Magazine. I’m telling all of my friends to go check it out!
