This weekend the sun was shiny and I decide that Brooklyn was in the cards for us. I love going into Brooklyn and getting some yummy food, people watching and hitting up some shops that I don’t typically get to go into.
First on my list was Dabney Lee. Dabney Lee is a new retail shop that has been on the web for many years now. Dabney Lee was the first person I ever heard of selling those beautiful lucite trays that are gracing oh so many homes these days. I personally have a tray from Dabney Lee in Hudson’s room and I love it.
While Dabney has been designing stationary and the likes for many years on the web in 2012 she ventured into a retail location. Here is a peek into her shop…
{Beautiful orange signage and stylish awning.}
{Patterned storange boxes and fun stationary cards specific to Dumbo.}
{More stationary & beautiful New York letterpress print from Sugar Paper.}
{Cheeky cards. My favorite has to be, That’s what she said. Who else is sad that there are only 2 more episodes left of the Office?}
{Bulletin boards filled with custom invitations. So many pretty options to admire.}
{Lucite trays, lunch boxes, plates and salt and pepper shakers. Plus a pic of Dabney’s adorable triplets!}
{Amazing wrapping paper that I would probably frame instead of use to wrap an actual gift!}
{Cozy PJ’s in Dabney’s signature zebra print.}
{Work table where you can seat and design whatever your heart desires with the Dabney Lee team!}
Such a fun shop full of all of my favorite things: color, patterns, monograms, the color orange, and most importantly many options with elephants! Along with the retail shop the Dabney Lee team designs and produces all of there products in an office space behind the bulletin boards that I may or may not have caught a peek at.
{ I spy a vintage lamp with bamboo detailing in the back. Ah can’t you just see the creative juices flowing!}

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.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
The time has come to finally share our new kitchen reveal. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, we bought a house right before the pandemic hit. It was a total gut job from top to bottom. We started our demo and then the world shut down. Enter the delays […]
Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
Thanks for taking me in one of my favorites stores that I don’t know if I’ll ever get to visit in person. 🙂
Love this store, I will definitely have to visit next time I am in NY!
