It's been a while since I've visited Praha, so I felt a return trip was long overdue. Once there, I quickly remembered what attracted me to the store on previous visits.

Looking for well-priced furniture, but not so thrilled about seeing your piece in all of your friends' homes? Praha shop owners had you in mind, then, when they developed the concept for their store. Here, you'll find a wonderful collection of cottage-y furniture - tables, buffets, dressers - as well as great looking custom-order upholstered furniture. If that isn't enticement enough, everything is priced even lower than what you would expect to pay at a comparable large-scale retailer. (Think: somewhere in between Target and Crate & Barrel). If the word 'cottage' has you running for the hills, fear not. This is today's cottage, which translates into clean-lined yet rustic feeling, and without any country details.

Shop owners Todd and David travel frequently to the Czech Republic to replenish their ever-changing inventory. About 70% of the store is from the CR (thus the name). The remaining goodies are either antique finds or cool, unique accessories. Worried that the word will spread and you'll still see all of your things all over town? These guys have you covered. In an effort to make your items feel more unique, Todd and David usually carry only 6 of one item. So, good news - exclusivity at a great price; bad news - you may need to snap up that table you've been eyeing because it may not be there next week.

So, on your next trip to CB2 or after a date at Sola, be sure to cruise on over and check it out.
