I was causally shopping the furniture and decor stores in Andersonville and Baan won me over again. I have been wanting to update my crappy Ikea floor lamps and Baan had just what I was looking for. The sales person was incredibly friendly and gave me a significant discount on the 3 lamps I bought.  I was also contemplating a coffee table and he was willing to give me a great discount on that as well.  I ended up not getting the coffee table because I had to stop myself somewhere!  But truly, I could buy everything in this store!

Don't be put off by the teak-and-Buddha look of this store, which may recall bad Cost Plus experiences. Baan imports genuine Thai antiques and reproductions, many of which are made by hand. Yes, there are plenty of chests and vases, but there's also some fine furniture, similar to what's being offered up the street at Urbanest but much better made. If you're unwilling to go the whole Asian hog, Baan also sells candles, glasses, and spa goods, such as bath salts and all-natural soaps. It's a nice addition to the "housewares" strip of Clark south of Foster, which includes The Wooden Spoon, Foursided, and Marguerite Gardens.

I really love this store.  Most of the items here are straight from Thailand.  My favorite items are the glassware.  I bought the best small hand-crafted glasses with a pale green tinted rim.  No two are exactly the same so they have a lot of character.  I think all the glassware is buy 5 get the 6th glass free (or something like that).
