Spilled Milk: Home Aesthetics, Now Open in The Arts District
18b’s only shop dedicated solely to new home décor brings personal touches, unique style, and little things for your home that aren’t boring to 1407 S Commerce Street
Spilled Milk, 18b’s only shop dedicated solely to new home décor celebrated its grand opening this past weekend. Located at 1407 S Commerce Street and now open 6 days a week, the shop curates personal touches and little things that aren’t boring for the modern home.
Founded by local interior designer, maker, cat lover, and cybersecurity guru Kori Cortez, the store was imagined out of necessity when Cortez’ corporate cybersecurity job ended abruptly with sweeping layoffs and department eliminations at the end of 2023. “I’ve always loved design, décor, and breathing new life into spaces,” said Cortez. “It’s something I did on the side because it also breathed new life into me. I’m good at security [cyber] but the shock of being stripped of my livelihood made me realize that it was time to take control of my own destiny and make this my full-time commitment. It’s a huge risk but as I’ve learned, so is having an employer.”
The scene is authentic and posh designed to match your mood. A collision of dark and light, the shop features upbeat selections packed with dopamine for the chill days with a hard transition to dark for the edgy ones. Home staples such as accent chairs and contemporary cabinets pepper the space while stylish pops like jaguar plant holders, modish crystalized barware, handpicked Parisian serving trays, uncommon wall art, sculpted pieces from London-based designer Abigail Ahern, and exclusive pieces from local potter Stuck on Pottery as well as niche statues and scented wax choices adorn the shelves.
“Las Vegas is unlike any other city in the world. I wanted to source unique pieces that bring style points to the modern home in an atypical way.”
Spilled Milk is open daily Wed-Monday and will host events, workshops, pop-ups, appointment shopping and more in the coming months.
