Mid-century modern furniture is the focus of this clean-cut Andersonville shop. You'll find antique chairs, tables and lamps from the mid-'50s through the mid-'60s, all appropriately reupholstered or refinished so they're 100-percent move-in ready. Though the selection is eclectic, most pieces sport a timeless classicism that'll mix in well with the more recent Pottery Barn-Crate & Barrel mash-up found in most modern homes. Inventory is constantly on the move -- and consequently, owner Paul Lechlinski is always on the prowl for new pieces -- but a unique finds have included a pair of 1962 white slipper chairs from Bergdorf Goodman's lingerie department fitting rooms and a Hans Olsen circular dining table with three-legged chairs that nest compactly underneath. If you're not in the market to add to your furniture collection, check out colorful vintage glasses and vases, or hostess gift-worthy pick-ups like Vosges chocolate and candles.
