One of my favorite stores in Plaza Midwood is Clark's Antiques. It's poorly organized, dusty, over priced, and the only true antique in the place is probably Clark himself. However, there are always unique, fun things to look at and every so often I walk out with a good deal.

Past finds include an old red cabinet we currently keep in the office and a frame we
repurposed into a chalkboard.

Alex and I popped in there yesterday to look for a frame for the
elephant seals print we just got. We found the perfect frame along with a large topographic U.S. map and a small plant stand. Originally, Clark wanted $95 for the frame (artwork included...), $44 for the map, and $11 for the stand. We talked him into selling us all three for $75. They may look pretty pathetic now, but wait until you see the "after" shots!
