I know this isn’t really a travel question, but thought New Yorkers might know:
Where can I find New York-inspired home furnishings? Like Empire State Building CD racks, great UNIQUE art prints, or anything else an artist might imagine that has a New York City theme?
Online webstores are preferred, but any place that does mail order shipping is cool, too.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!

I want to put something in the nursey that will actually be stimulating to my newborn son and not be horrid decor crap with pastels and little animals. I have Dali throughout my upstairs hall and master. Waterhouse in the guest room and assorted others in the living, dining. I had thought of Van Gogh Starry Night or Matisse Goldfish or even some of the Escher color prints. What do you think? I have some 36 x 24 frames ready to go so I am looking for popular stuff that I could find on art.com or allposters.com. Any suggestions appreciated.

I sell both name brand and non-name brand clothing and DIY/vintage items. I also sell shoes,handbags, accessories, makeup, unique home decor, art and more.
I have made the entrance a lounge. This room contains the check out/front desk and makeup display. It also has a couch, coffee table, TV, magazine rack and free coffee/cookies. I will have coloring books for kids.
The next room has all the clothing and accessories sorted into different sizes/styles.Connected to this room are dressing rooms.
I have made the entire store have a comfortable, artsy and non-cluttered feel to it. The pricing is low, an Abercrombie shirt might cost you around 9/10 bucks.
I’ve collected a great deal of good ideas for my store and now I’m asking for something else.
I need some REALLY great ideas for the grand opening! What can I do to make the day amazing?

Finger Lakes Region in upstate New York is an ideal setting for a Fall getaway. The area includes many treasures, such as the Corning Museum of Glass. Contrasting with the vibrant fall foliage, a modern steel building houses the Corning Museum of Glass, offering a glimpse of traditional glass-making techniques.
The Corning Museum boasts a wide array of dazzling historic glass objects, and also offers special events, such as the recent 46th Annual Seminar in glass. The topic of this year’s seminar was “Nature in Glass,” with a major focus on the life and work of Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka, the creators of the Harvard glass flowers. The glorious flowers will be on view through November 25 and will delight both children and adults. The basic ingredient of every model was colorless glass, which the Blaschka’s manipulated with other materials, such as copper wire, oil-based paint and even paper.
In addition to the Blaschka exhibit, the Corning Museum is rich with decorative objects and fun activities. Visitors can see a window created by glass master Louis Comfort Tiffany, tour the many floors dedicated to historic glass objects, watch glassblowers create spectacular glass objects, and even create their own glass object using traditional glass working techniques. Even the outside of the museum offers a unique display: Glass pumpkins and gourds reflect the bold colors and shapes of the season.
Upon leaving the Corning Museum, visitors can drive through the surrounding Finger Lakes Wine Country, featuring many award-winning wineries. During the fall season, this is a great weekend retreat, with charming inns such as the Inn at Glenora providing a relaxing environment. Glenora features an on-premise restaurant called Veraisons, and boasts stunning views of Seneca Lake and the fall landscape. Wineries in the area include Genora Wine Cellars, offering their signature Pinot Blanc with delicate pear and citrus flavors and a distinctive dry Riesling, which won the 2007 Critics Challenge Gold Medal. The Herman J. Wiermar winery holds its wine tastings in a striking setting: The tastings are done in an old scissor-trussed barn that was redesigned with a modern interior. Besides these notable mentions there are virtually dozens of wineries to visit set in the most breathtaking setting. For more information www.etabletop.com

I had the front done in a French Classic style and I like it very much. But I’ve been told by the local patio and outdoor decor company that I need to spruce it up a bit. Add a little color. I rather like pink flamingos (they remind me of my time in Africa) but I am also concerned if they will actually add any value. I would need about 250 of them to make a statement, as was suggested by the salesman.

My other concern is if they would attract the local hunters. I dare say, many of them don’t seem the sober type.

Sarah F asked:
I’m redecorating my room with a sixties pop art/ Warhol theme. So far I’ve decided to do a grey, black red color scheme picked out a comforter (It has the Warhol Campbell’s soup motif in it) am probablly going to put up some Warhol Haring prints. I was also thinking of putting in one of those hand shaped chairs. (Thoughts on that?)
Anyone have any other suggestions for decor and such, or feedback on my ideas?
