Jeanna Mingram grew up working at her parents’ storefronts in Laguna Beach on Forest Avenue, which they owned for more than 30 years. She would later go on to open a boutique with her sister in Malibu before getting a certification in interior design. “I didn’t love doing all the measuring and the planning; I really craved the accessorizing,” she says. When the perfect location became available to rent, she grasped the opportunity and opened Driftwood Home + Lifestyle, where customers can shop home decor, clothing, jewelry, art, gifts, and more—all with a nod to the California coast. driftwoodhomelifestyle.com
