“There’s really nothing in here anybody needs,” says Jack Craft of Finer Things. Go someplace else for your light bulbs and garbage bags—this is the destination for 1960s industrial light fixtures or a giant clown-head trashcan cover. Artifacts that make your house a home that makes your friends jealous. Craft and his partner Julianne McDonald own the enchanting curio boutique, which hereby extended its Best Antiques Store gold-winning streak to five years. A few of the store’s rooms are for other dealers’ wares, and somehow it all works together. “The secret is the eclectic mix of stuff,” Craft says. “If we think it’s cool, we’re gonna buy it.”
