Modernway

Modernway of Palm Springs, California carries mid-century modern furniture, lightning, art, and accessories. If you love the show "Kathy Griffin - My Life on the D List" you might catch this store on one of the episodes. I just happened to see it tonight. Kathy Griffin and Lara Spencer went shopping here for furniture and decor for Kathy's home.  As someone who loves Kathy Griffin's comedy, and as someone who loves mid-century modern decor, this scene was the perfect combo. UPDATE: The episode was called "Getting My House In Order".  read more...
