  • The post-2011 Qcumberz is Apartment Therapy-bait. It works like this. You move to Phoenix. You get yourself a little mid-century modern house with a flat roof and a carport. You binge-read AT's "before and after" posts until you are gripped by the certainty that your happiness depends on buying an appalling used piece of furniture from the 1970s and rehabbing it with paint (probably aqua... you liked the gray-and-white chevron movement, but now that's feeling soooo 2013)... but everything at the two nearest Goodwills is from the 1980s and 1990s,and there are no Chicness Points in repainting that stuff. Then you go to Cucumberz, which is chock-a-block with chunky Mediterranean cabinets and chairs from the late 1960s, already painted aqua for you, plus a few that haven't been repainted yet, OMG, so those must be the bargains! If the wood on the drawers is in good shape, you could wax the drawers and paint the frame white! So clever! I bet that 1972 dresser from Sears could pass as MCM if you did that! Really, seriously, if you want to live the AT lifestyle at the DIY end (as opposed to the high-end actual-Heywood-Wakefield end found at Red Modern or the tongue-in-cheek-ironic end from Retro Ranch), Qcumberz is like an entire mall devoted to your needs, down to the plastic swirly wall-thingies -- they'll look scupltural in gloss white! -- that Urban Outfitters probably will be selling by June. There are vintage record albums! There are starter pieces for your vintage Pyrex collection (though apparently 90% of the vintage Pyrex on earth has retired to Phoenix,so you'll be able to pick and choose). There is a little outdoor salvage alley to take care of your porch furniture needs. The owners are cheerful and friendly, and while I liked the place better when it was an over-crowded junk shop, it's still the least pretentious store on Seventh Avenue and the most fun to dig through.
