I'm sure Sarah would love to contribute to ApartmentTherapy. She's based in NYC and is a stylist and designer with exquisite taste. I think she could report on inspiring museum/design shows or retailers.

The red and white Stringy chair is plastic coated wire (like electrical wire) wrapped around a metal frame. It's from Mexico. A friend bought it on a trip there and carried it with her all the way on a TRAIN ride back to NYC. When she moved back Holland, I bought it from her. I love it too. It took awhile for it to grow on Brad. Once he started doing yoga, he found it more comfortable...ha ha.
I've tried finding similar chairs to sell in the store, but most of them look too new with powder coated legs and not such cool colors.

CJT - Many glass suppliers also supply mirror glass and will deliver and sometimes install large glass pieces. I had the glass supplier bring the mirrors and he used industrial adhesive to stick them to the walls (there is one in the bedroom, which has no direct light and one on the wall outside the bedroom to help reflect light to the bedroom thru the metal screen). Because they are so large, I wanted a professional to handle the glass and bring it up our 4 flights of stairs. Basically I built the wood frames around the glass using huge concrete lag bolts to go into the masonry walls to give the glass additional support at the tops and bottoms.

Don't worry everybody. I have a fantastic cleaning lady who loves to dust.
