Fodor's Expert Review 24e

Owner Ruel Joyner has a keen eye for design. His eclectically sophisticated downtown shop is stocked floor to ceiling with luxurious housewares, like velvet sofas, stunning chandeliers, and conversation-starting accessories, from an array of revered design houses. 24e has also made a name for itself with custom-built furniture. Simply perusing the two stories of spectacular specimens is an inspiring way to spend some time—even if the store's big-ticket items are a little out of your price range.
