Maybe it's because I spend most of my days reading ABC books, singing the ABC song, or even practicing ABC sign language with Baby Elle; but I thought it would be fun to compile my favorite interior design trends, shops & resources into ABC's ....
Crisp Interiors style.
Allow me to introduce to you my favorite sources and trends:
A is for Anthropologie ....
as if it could be anything else
I'm in love with their rug selection.... this one {Kiara rug} was a contender for Elle's "big girl room."
B is for Brass....
It's back in a big way and I can't stop dreaming of it in our kitchen remodel.
C is for Celadon Home...
my idea of the perfect store. Located in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. - it's the most wonderful mix of eclectic elegance.
**They even have a huge warehouse with lots of scratch & dents pieces that can be scored for major discounts **
D is for Domino Magazine....
my guilty pleasure and greatest source of inspiration
Basically it was Pinterest before there was Pinterest.
It went away for a while; but I couldn't be happier that it's BACK!
E is for Etsy...
and because we all know it's easy to fall into the black hole abyss of all of Etsy's goodness, I've narrowed down some of my favorite shops:
{EarthCadets: that's where you can find these fun pillows.
BrandMeBeautiful: love her for helping me with this blog design.
PaperPleaseStudio: for the most dreamy business cards around.
TheDedicationCompany: for the sweetest lockets with personalized notes inside
PBandJBabyChic: for the sweetest baby gifts - the wonderful owner will customize just about anything for your little love}
F is for Furbish Studio....
The Queen of Pattern Mixing, Jamie Meares of Furbish Studio gets it right, every single time.
Check out their store for TONS of inspiration!
{it'll make you instantly happy, I promise.}
G is for Grasscloth Wallpaper....
especially with a subtle hint of metallic.
Several of my favorite sources are Phillip Jefferies, Burke Decor & Thibaut
H is for House of Belonging...
one of my favorite Etsy shops, these fun prints sure can make a room.
We just ordered this one in gold for Elle's "big girl room"
I is for IKEA...
especially when you're in the mood for modern and black & whites, Ikea is the way to go.
Lately, I'm loving this rug and am so tempted to design a whole room around it- though I couldn't come close to the perfection of this room by John Jacob Interiors.
{see my previous blog post for all of my favorite Ikea finds}
J is for John Robshaw...
if Jamie Meares of Furbish Studio is Queen of Pattern Mixing, John Robshaw is most certainly the King of Textiles. His prints and patterns are smart, stylish, yet so livable!
Seen here in the home of Brooke Shields, his fabrics are perfect for pillows and upholstered pieces alike.
K is for Kilim....
a perfect way to bring color into an otherwise neutral space, these rugs are rich with history.
{see my previous post on kilim rugs for a complete run-down of their history and my favorite sources}
L is for Layla Grayce...
featuring over 400 brands, LG always seems to get it right!
I'm especially in love with this Oly Studio Meri Drum Chandelier:
M is for Millie + Marge
OK so it's not home related at all...but I just had to share my gorgeous friend and her equally gorgeous jewelry with you all. Check out Courtney's facebook page here for some boho chic pieces that you'll want to style every outfit around:

N is for Navy {Walls}...
A subtle and chic splash of color that makes small spaces come to life.
{Benjamin Moore's Hale Navy is always a winner in my book}
O is for Oushak...
Not to be confused with Kilim Rugs, these Turkish beauties are known for use of silky wool.
My favorites are those with a faded look, as if they have been used for centuries before.
I've found my favorite Oushaks at flea markets from dealers who import directly from Turkey.
However, there are some great finds on Ebay, Etsy, and One Kings Lane {where this pale blue runner was spotted.}
P is for Pastels....
they were all over the Spring market, proving that they're not just for little girls rooms any longer.
R is for Restoration Hardware...
a go-to for "forever pieces" and nursery inspiration.
They take neutral to a whole new level of beautiful.
{and thanks to Elle's Aunt Anna, we love having this rocking sheep in the nursery at our house}
S is for Serena & Lily...
Originally known for their fabulous nursery decor, the Serena & Lily duo has expanded their horizons to all parts of the home: bedding, art, decor, kids rooms - you name it!
I do believe I could decorate my entire home with just their products.
I'm loving these fun and livable kids chairs for Elle right now.
T is for Teepee's...
{in kids rooms of course.}
I've found so many that I love for Elle on Etsy - but they look super easy DIY as well.
V is for Victoria Hagan Interiors...
a designer for the ages, Ms. Hagan gets it right every.single.time.
Her signature furniture line is equally as lovely.
W is for West Elm...
currently dreaming of their cushy Kasbah rug.
Y is for Your Own Home....
one of my favorite decorating tips is "shop your own home"
When you need to give a space new life, start with a blank slate and then shop around until you find the perfect medley of treasures. Just present them in a new way.
You won't have spent any money and you'll feel like a true HGTV star!
Z is for Z Gallerie...
I always pop over here when I need a quick shot of inspiration.
Their unique and quirky style always leaves me wishing I had an unlimited budget.
{Especially for things like this perfect office desk}
-----
Now...for those of you loyal readers who made it all the way from A to Z.....thank you for hanging in there with me for the longest post ever!
**Bonus points for some suggestions for the letters I left out**
I struggled with Q, U, & X
Would love to hear your favorites for these though.
Now, off to sing some ABC's with my girl!
Happy Hunting!
