Okay, maybe that's not totally correct, but from the wealth of furnishings stores in this city it would seem that the two passions are at least on par with each other. We have just about every big box chain, from Ikea to Bed, Bath & Beyond to Crate & Barrel to West Elm to Restoration Hardware, but beyond that, there's about a gazillion vintage and new furniture and home shops.

For this, our first edition of the Racked 38 Home, we've looked beyond the candidates above to highlight amazing, quirky, weird, bargain and specialty shops for everything from a couch to a lampshade. Whether your tastes run mid-century modern, ornate, art deco or just mis-mosh, there's a spot on here for you. As always, if we've missed your favorites, tell us about them in the comments.
