In the store: Post-holiday picking

Everything slowed down considerably the week between Christmas and New Year's, but we hit 2012 running last week with a spate of sales that necessitated an out-of-state picking trip.  We came home with a set of Eero Saarinen chairs that have gone to the upholstery shop, a set of chairs that look like the offspring of a high-backed Adrian Pearsall chair and a piece from the Paul Evans Cityscape group and a sofa (not photographed yet). In addition to those finds, a huge C. Jeré  Brooklyn Bridge that we won at auction came in, and locally we found a Fleetwood stereo, a Danish wardrobe and another sofa (also not photographed yet).

In the store: High fidelity

The first item that sold when we opened the store was a beautiful Canadian stereo by Fleetwood.  Almost every time a customer looks at our hi-fi sets and stereos, the units trigger a memory of a similar one in a childhood home or at grandma's house.

My SIL makes sure each one is in great working order before he buys it, so they're not only beautiful, but they also sound amazing too. Which is your favorite?
