ABC easy as 1, 2, 3
When visiting New York many design lovers hear the calls of their mother ship begging them to come home, which means a visit to ABC Carpet & Home .
Visting ABC is an all day affair. There are six different floors with the last one housing our all time favorite rugs.
The one and only Madeline Weinrib (great- grand daughter to the founder of ABC Carpet & Home) has her atelier on floor six. The highest floor in the building aka the one closest to heaven!
It is pure bliss to be surrounded by her beautiful wares:

`Ah one day when I decide that I can deal with only having one kidney I’ll be the proud owner of a Madeline Weinrib rug!
Yes the main problem with ABC Carpet & Home has to be the prices. You may rub shoulders with Julia Roberts while you are there, but you’ll also need a wallet like hers to purchase some of their items.
Don’t worry there is hope for us yet! A quick jaunt to the Bronx and you can get your ABC Carpet & Home fix for a fraction of the price at their outlet store!
Now don’t get too excited. When things are normally priced in the thousands a discount on them can still be in the thousands, but there are some good deals to be found.
Here is what we where met with upon entering the store:
Loved seeing all the carpet samples displayed on the wall. It looked like a massive collage.
The outlet was full of furniture. Many styles to choose from, but we saw a lot of Asian inspired pieces.
Continuation of furniture:
They did have a small section with bath and bedding pieces as well.
The 2nd level houses all of their carpets and it was on that floor that we spotted Madeline Weinrib rugs and pillows! Some of the pillows were a great deal. That massive green chevron pillow was only $99 and some of the smaller toss pillows were $65!
While we walked away empty handed it was a fun trip. Plus a perk for drivers is that they have a parking lot, which is a perk for stores in the NY metro area!
*Just realized I never mentioned who the “we” was during my post. This trip was part of my adventure with Caitlin.
Hope you enjoyed my little tour.

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
so jealous that you have an abc outlet nearby. how did you leave empty handed–you must have some amazing self control my friend:)
Oooh fun! I may have to check it out when I visit my sister in Brooklyn next month! Do you have to be a legit designer to get in?!
have I told you yet how jealous I am that you have all these places in your backyard?!? Beacause I am. Completely.
Ohhhhhh, I'll have to tell my bestie about that for our next NYC getaway. She adores ABC!

I love ABC! Never even knew they had another discounted store. I have only bought one thing there, that I could afford, and that was a linen shower curtain that I loved for years!
Wow, that is fantastic!
Um, I love that place! Nothing like that near my area, bummer.
Looks like a place to get in lost of trouble in- I could have bought one of everything!
