One of the perks of being empty nesters is having the opportunity to travel more regularly, even if that means a midweek getaway! Since Rodney travels often for work, sometimes I get the chance to tag along. This week, he was headed to New York City so I joined to enjoy some shopping, good food, and the sights of the city while he worked during the day.
During the trip, I wanted to be sure to hit up a few of my favorite spots in the city, a few of which provided great inspiration for our house! At the top of my list was
ABC Carpet & Home, one of my absolute favorite decorating stores and a
must every time I'm in New York. ABC Carpet is huge and is filled to the brim with so many wonderful things, including fantastic chandeliers and great furniture. It's also not uncommon to see a celebrities shopping there; this week, I saw a stretch limo parked outside!
While I have many NYC favorites that, I like to return to, it's always fun to find new places to visit as well. This week, I stumbled upon
Olde Good Things in Chelsea, which is an architectural antique salvage store. There were so many neat things to discover inside!
And of course, while we were in the city, we had to visit one of our favorite places to get something sweet! Last night, we stopped by Magnolia Bakery for a late-night dessert. Just another wonderful spot New York City has to offer!
We have one day left in the city before we head to Austin for the weekend to visit Molly, and I am looking forward to more exploring, window-shopping, people-watching, and good eats!
