Craigslist and thrift stores are full of decent Danish Modern pieces. Ikea has many decent items and there always the more high end places like West Elm or Design Within Reach. CB2 is fairly reasonable and has lots of good things. And there is always eBay. It helps to reside in a building that is actually from that era. Mrs Lord and I live in a highrise that dates to the late 50s and it has lots of huge glass windows, clean lines and really cool fixtures. Acquiring things for it is our hobby.
