This is clearly a beautiful, elegant apartment with an ingenious use of limited space. Unfortunately, the pictures are so small it's really hard to see!

This whole DIY thing has spun horribly out of control.

Really stunning

Great sense of humor without sacrificing style -- nice!

Thorndale - Apparently my sarcasm didn't register.

I'll be darned, the last thing I was expecting to see in the home of these three working-class tough guys was fresh cut flowers! That'll teach me to stereotype!

Although mid-century has been a very popular area of collecting for quite a few years, the pieces themselves are still only around 50-60 years old, so unless they are extremely rare, these pieces straddle the line between "antique" and just plain "used furniture". I think that might explain why the vintage pieces are often so much less expensive. But you're also talking auction prices versus retail prices. I would not be surprised to see an exceptional and early Florence Knoll 3 piece suite sell for close to $20K at a high end NYC dealer.

You have some really beautiful vintage pieces, and you did a very good job maximizing your floor space and wall space.

The name "Design Within Reach" was never meant to suggest that they were selling cheap stuff, according to founder. The phrase "within reach" has more than one meaning.
