Mid-Century Design is located on Park Blvd right next door to the coffee shop and cafe... which makes it a good place to window shop if you are killing time waiting for friends to show up.
The store is pretty small in terms of square feet, but they definitely pack (or should I say "stack"?) a lot in there. All the kitschy, hip mid-century stuff that either looks as if it belongs in an architectural catalog (here's looking at you, Eames) or an Austin Powers set is the sort of style you'll find here. Turnover seems to be pretty quick, so you can check in here every few weeks to see if they have anything that meets your needs. If you don't see what you're looking for, the owner will take down your name and number and give you a shout if he finds a piece and brings it into the store.
Prices here, while not amazingly cheap by any means, are pretty reasonable. Mid-century seems to be all the rage now, so the price tags seem to have likewise shot up. Every time I've been in here (that's many!), the staff have been nice and friendly. I ended up buying two chrome lamps that I have been very pleased with, and continue to check back to see if they have the elusive table of my dreams.
