Carney's furniture shop symbolizes disguise. The shop allows Carney to believe himself capable of living a predictable and mundane life. However, when he becomes incidentally involved with the Hotel Theresa heist, he starts using the shop as a front. In this way, the shop acts as a facade for the man Carney really is, and the life he is really leading.
