From Sarah and Julie:

The New York branch of the Swedish design retailer Dunderdon is conveniently located next to Ted Muehling's outpost on Howard Street, which is how we found ourselves in the store recently perusing the sensible line of Swedish utilitarian clothing. The simple interior was assembled on a limited budget; furniture and fixtures have been given a coat of white paint and the floor stained dark espresso. Old picture frames, mirrors, and garden tools painted white served as decorative props. It's amazing how good old captain's chairs and salvaged tables look with a uniform coat of white paint: File this under "To be tried at home."
