ucked in the heart of downtown Mesa is a store whose owner looks for vintage Arizona. “I do mid-century modern and ‘Boho,’ or Bohemian,” owner Cristin Clark said of Buckhorn Vintage at 138 W. Main St. She specializes in vintage furniture, clothing and decor from the 1950s through the 70s, although she added, “I do some clothing from the 80s and 90s but mostly 60s and 70s.” “I try to do high-quality,” Clark said. “All of my furniture my brother and my dad restore. If a piece of furniture needs work, we’ll restore it back to its original quality.” Most of the items, including paintings and knick-knacks, Clark finds in Arizona. “I pretty much hunt at least four times a week,” she said, explaining her treasure hunts include everything from estate sales and thrift shops to online marketplaces. Her standard is “Whatever catches my eye.” “I just buy what I like,” she explained. “If it’s something I don’t like, I don’t buy it.” Among the more popular items are anything wicker or rattan and mid-century modern dressers and buffets.
