Studio 111 Limboman likes to mix up classic hard-edge modern with some out there wackiness. The big round fur sofa was a hit with the ladies.   
Fat Chance This is where the rich people shop. Jeff always has the good high end stuff... Parzinger, Dunbar...
and this kick ass Claire Falkenstein.
Lisa Cliff Collection Lisa always has awesome sculpture, including the jeweled variety.
