abc goods: abc carpet in nyc

we drove to nj over thanksgiving to visit family. the day after thanksgiving my sister-in-law and i went into the city. we only had time to make a couple of stops, one of which was abc carpet and home. i just love this store. there are 6, (or is it 7?) floors off interior design goodness. it is so much fun to let yourself get lost in this place. you truly need a few hours to experience the whole store. here are a few pictures i took of some of my favorite views. (i highly recommend clicking on the pictures to get the full size view. there are so many things to see...)


this is the entrance, doesn't it look magical?

beautiful window display

the first thing i saw when i walked in. (this display reminded me that i am not crazy to have painted my master bedroom purple.)

these paper chandeliers were all over the store. i thought they were so beautiful.

after learning they were only $50, i couldn't leave without one. i haven't hung it yet. i'm thinking about putting it in our master bedroom.



i just love this dresser. i have a little table that i have been thinking about painting silver. i'm pretty sure this is silver leaf. whatever it is, it's stunning.



doesn't this bed look incredibly inviting?



i love the combination of the glitzy crystal chandelier and the rustic farm table.

  1. I guess I shouldn't be amazed at how different this store looks than when we were there in 2000. The 'waiting for new upholstery' sofa looks like the blue one in your earlier blog.
