urban outfitters
i'm always impressed with some of the fun design stuff urban outfitters comes up with. granted, the store generally overprices everything, but every once in awhile they have some cute, funky home stuff. they've also just added a section in both their print and online catalog called "found" in which they sell older, vintage furniture pieces from the 40's onward. they're not cheap, but if vintage swedish couches from the 70's are your thing, they've got some. they also added two new rugs to the collection (paisley and tropical) along with some cute squirrel sheets and a fun turqouise louise arm chair and sette. all available at urbanoutfitters.com

Just in case it makes a difference to you, Urban Outfitters is not only a Republican supporter as a company, but the founder supports none other than Rick Santorum (who hardly needs any more explanation, yes?)

just in case it makes a difference to you, Urban also supports many causes you may find worthwhile. The founder set up a trust and scholarship fund for my friend John when he died of Aids. John was an integral part of Urbans early success and I know for a fact that the owner is one of the kindest most generous people I know. There are always two sides to every story. Too bad the amateur at the Philadelphia Weekly hadnt learned that in school yet.
Just in case it makes even more of a difference to you, Urban has a longstanding bad relationship with crafters as they steal ideas from hardworking people trying to make an honest living, change them just slightly so as not to be held legally accountable, make them the cheapest quality they can, overprice them, and sell them to mindless teenagers with daddy's credit card. I can no longer locate the comments that Johnny Cupcakes had on their website reguarding the their encounter with Urban, but there are other sites that still have Johnny's comments listed, including this one.
