Here at DLT we like to come up with really catchy pop-culture headlines, but in this case, the name of our subject is all too perfect. If you haven’t already, please familiarize yourself with Modern Manor, a mid-century modern home furnishing mecca nestled just off 7th and Camelback with a serious case of M-azing (sorry, couldn’t help it).

Owned by Ryan and Kylie Durkin, the shop was opened with one purpose, to ‘help create homes with personality.’ It’s packed to the gills with tables and chairs, as well as decorative odds and ends including old science books, clocks and globes. Most intriguing, is the room containing vintage marquee letters in various fonts and sizes – some with birds nests intact. The final resting place of the once imfamous “Electric Ladyland” signage, you can create any word, hell, any sentence, to adorn your wall.

Recently, (as in yesterday) the Durkins have returned from a brief summer hiatus with a trailer full of shiny old items. They’re open Thursday-Sunday for your poking-around pleasure. But hurry, as they were recently featured on Apartment Therapy, so they’re officially Phoenix’s worst kept secret.
