It's nice not to have generic pottery barn or CB items like all the Joneses do. Over the last few years I've been able to find cute knick-knacks for the house, tables, and an antique Eastlake piece that I'm using as a bar. This place is a gem and everyone should visit. Places like this are why I prefer to shop local.

Have you ever walked into someone's home and thought to yourself, "Hmmm... Pottery Barn catalog,"…read moreor ditto, Crate and Barrel? I'm not dissing those stores, no, no, no. I love them! They stock the staples of good design. On the other side of the ledger there are antique stores, where there are always surprises, one-of-a-kinds and the smell of old wood. What's not to like? And then there's PRAHA: A rich collection of new and old, unusual pieces of decorative and architectural elements from Europe and the US, from dovetailed wooden boxes to large furniture pieces, linens and treasures of all types, jams, jellies and dip mixes, antique Shanghai Ladies posters, cottage style furnishings, lamps, trunks, European and domestic enamelware... on and on it goes... For me, PRAHA is like the proverbial candy store, and was elevated to Favorite Store status the first time I stepped inside. Much of the store's allure is the result of many shopping expeditions to Praha (Prague), where the owners purchased furniture and treasures as old as the hills, then shipped via crate back to the US. They trek to the best flea markets in the US. They keep their radar humming 24/7; a find is a find, no matter where it's discovered. But it's not just the merchandise. It's Todd and David, shopkeepers and proprietors. They love their store. They insist on expert craftsmanship in the new items they choose to sell, and enjoy musing on the secret history of their antiques. In chatting with Todd (for almost 2 hours on my first visit!) I discovered we share a love of old enamelware, antique tins, small boxes and interesting little containers. (Talk about a candy store!) Some acquisitions never make it to sale. One such item is an old coffee tin that Todd chose to keep for his own kitchen. It's not on display; it is used to store coffee, like it has been forever. He remarked how he always thinks about its mysterious history, the stories that could be told about the family in Praha who used it for generations. "Just think of it!" he said! There are stores filled with merchandise, clerks, and cashiers. And then there is PRAHA, filled with fabulous treasures, not the least of which are its shopkeepers, Todd and David. Czech it out!

There are also two other locations, but if you are doing the "antique crawl" along Clark, this is the one to hit.

Madjid greeted me with a huge smile, a kind, warm demeanor possessing a vast knowledge of his inventory & catalogs. He asked me questions I never thought of asking about durability, use, my 200lb dog, etc to make sure I was getting the best bang for my buck. Madjid went straight to the exact couch I had in my mind. Perfection! Then it was time to pick the chairs. Again, he paged straight to the exact chairs I had in mind! *He knows his stuff! I was indecisive in fabric choices so he put a number of fabrics together keeping my taste in mind & not wanting it to be too "matchy-matchy!" In no time at all... I had my new living room picked out with his professional eye & guidance. I recommend Hi-Style Furniture to all my friends! Just because it may not be on their expansive showroom floor (three stories)... They have a large array of catalogs to choose your furniture! It was a seamless transaction from walking in to the point of sale right down to the delivery! *Bonus: They took my old couch & chaise away! So professional! I'm glad they are local & now am in the market for bar stools & a high top table. Where do you think I'm going to go? Thank you Madjid & Hi-Style Furniture!
