Before there were big-box home furnishings stores, there was 45-year-old chain Laytner's. It's the perfect place to stock your home with staples like plain polyester standard pillows ($10) and score hostess gifts such as Votivo candles ($25). This manageable, small-scale depot also understands city living, as evidenced by the fact that their versions of Queen Anne or mission-style chairs ($95) can fold up to squeeze into a closet.
