Guitars and Furniture

When I'm not obsessing over furniture, I'm obsessing over guitars.  My guess is that there are 829 of you out there who feel the same way.  If so, let us collectively rejoice that there exists as perfect a shop as Karlsson Gitarrer & Möbler.  I stumbled upon it last week while wandering Stockholm's southernmost island:

In the front of the store, you'll find a nice assortment of mid-century furniture and knick knacks…

…and equally gorgeous vintage guitars (they complement each other in a way that is supremely satisfying).

Everything in the store is hand-picked by its owner, Mikael Karlsson.  You may know him as Vigilante Carlstroem—the guitarist of the impeccably dressed Swedish punk band, The Hives.

Because this is a guitar shop run by an actual musician, you're allowed to play any guitar as long as you like—and sit in a respectable old chair while you do.  They have both electrics and acoustics, old and new.

Did I mention that this is my favorite store ever?  It's located at 3 St. Paul's Gatan, just a few blocks from the Slussen subway stop.
