One of my favorite New York shopping destinations is ABC Carpet and Home. ABC is not your typical shop...it's actually two huge department stores devoted to the prettiest and finest home furnishings and rugs. Kind of like Anthropologie on steroids!
At ABC, you'll find tons of high-end home furniture, antiques, lighting, carpets, and linens. Walking in the front door is like walking into a beautiful, magical world of prettiness...
ABC is know for it's gorgeous chandeliers...
This aqua beaded one was my favorite.
And this white china rose one is so lovely...
ABC has a nicely edited collection of antiques - like these pretty floral china pieces.
There are tons of home decor and tabletop items. I especially love these glitzy napkin rings...
I would love to set a table with this shabby-chicish dinnerware...
They were just starting to put the Christmas decorations, so I will have to go back again soon.
There is lots of antique and vintage-inspired furniture...how fab are those French dining chairs???
The children's department is incredible. So many pretty and unique things to decorate your nursery or child's room...
The dress-up clothing is straight out of a vintage storybook.
There is an entire floor devoted to bedding, bath and linens...in every style and color imaginable. I want this bed!
This one, too!
Piles of pillows on every surface...
And some fanciful toiletries.
One of the great things about ABC is that you never know what you'll find. I was shocked to come upon this basket of vintage wallpapers.
If you are planning a shopping trip to ABC (and you should!), here are a few tips: Remember to bring a big, fat wallet - these are NY prices (i.e., expensive) - and please allow yourself enough time to really wander around and take in every little detail. The store displays are truly beautiful, with incredible attention to detail...
ABC Carpet and Home: 888 & 881 Broadway, New York, NY 10003 Ph: 212 473-3000

Have a pretty day!

Oh my gosh! You do find the most gorgeous places to visit! But how do you keep from going broke, because I would not be able to control my spending in such beautiful amazing stores with such pretties that I would have to take home with me! Thank you for sharing such wonderful photos! Truly breathtaking!!

Your pictures of ABC are absolutely gorgeous! I would love to see what they do for Holiday decorating. I'll be counting on you to go back there for those of us that live too far away!

Ahhh - one of my favorite places. Now that we live in the West...I don't get to shop there as often. Thanks for sharing the great pics...I feel like I've been again (and it didn't cost me a cent).
