We're so fancy!

So many amazing ladies have graced the doors of Abode in the last week we can hardly contain our excitment! 

First off, did you see us on KSL Studio 5 yesterday?  If you didn't check it out below! 

Secondly, the hilarious and talented Char of crap i've made was in for a dose of inspiration and to pick up a few things since she will be making some crap for a guest post on our blog!  Yep, the blog you're reading right now.  THIS VERY BLOG.  So if you're not already following us, um...why?  Start now mmkay sugar britches? 

If by any chance you've never been to Char's site, you probably should go now.  I don't mean to be bossy but she makes all kinds of fun stuff, like these beauties:

And C, the lovely Megan of shabby blogs was in town from Michigan and stopped by Abode.  She will also be a guest blogger in the next couple of weeks! 

Could we be more excited?  The answer is only if Brad Pitt was in the store.  Ahhh, Brad. 

Breakfast at Tiffanys

I decided to play dress up on the job.  Sorry Merm! 

Come try on our gorgeous vintage cocktail dresses and stare at all the pretty jewelry in our new jewelry case.  Why?  Because every girl needs to feel like Audrey Hepburn sometimes. 

57 channels and nothin' on?

Hey, not so fast,  abode is going to be a star! Tuesday the fun folks from KSL Studio 5 will be tinkering with our treasures live and on site from 10:30 am until noon.  Sneak on down and shoot a cameo, who knows, you just might be seeing your name on the Hollywood walk of fame!

Re-fab

Sorry, Sold!

  

These little vanity benches have been made fabulous again and they can't stop taking photos of themselves.  You're so vain, I bet you think this post is about you.  

Vintage Kid

Rebecca of the ever amazing Blue Cricket Design (go there, go there now! okay actually not RIGHT now, but after you're finished here) sent us these adorable pics of her little one in one of our darling vintage kiddo dresses. 

So Vogue

Does it get any cuter than THAT?  I submit that it does not. 

The vintage kid/baby clothing is flying off the racks but there are still a few amazing pieces left so be sure to hurry in!

The Love Christmas

 

I am forced to share one of my favoritest of the fave-o-fave blogs (I am selfish that way and I like to keep her for myself.)  I even got to meet her real life and in person last summer (tons of exclamation points here).

OK, deep breath, here goes, Second Sister - you're gonna love her!

And while we're adoring this little Valentine treat, we might as well take 20% off anything pink or red this week at abode!

Love ya & see you soon

Alt Summit shopping spree!

Abode was honored to have some famed ladies of the blogosphere grace our little shop with their design goddess presence during the Alt Design Summit in January.

It was a total blast having this little gaggle of bloggers in our store, but the most fab part of all is that a bunch of them blogged about their experience at Abode, sharing their photos and thoughts with the world!

Alix and Dottie of the amazing blog Modern Kiddo (you should prolly check out their blog and then vote for them as Apartment Therapy's best kid blog!) wrote an extremely sweet little diddy about their time at Abode, not to mention Miss Pilgrim of draw! pilgrim and Dani of made-journal.blogspot.com.

Yesterday we had a lovely lady in our store who was in town from LA and had come straight to Abode after getting off the plane because she heard about us on say YES! to hoboken.  How cool is THAT?  

What can we say?  We're totally overwhelmed by all the nice things ya'll had to say.  Come back next year!

Mini kitchen makeover.

I've been talking about this before and after to a few of our readers/customers while they were shopping and I promised pictures, so here you go!

The fabulous Kelsey of Kel-z photography rents pieces from Abode every so often and we're loving this image she sent us of a beautiful new baby boy and our teal piano bench!

This swanky 60's bar with working refrigerator, set of whiskey glasses, set of full size glasses, vintage bar tools, leather top, the list goes on! 

This guy is a must-see.  

Moonlight and abode

You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't tell me I'm wrong
And what a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along

Moonlight becomes - it goes with your hair
You certainly know the right thing to wear

Moonlight becomes you - I'm thrilled at the sight
And I could get so romantic tonight

You're all dressed up to go dreaming
Now don't you tell me I'm wrong
What a night to go dreaming
Mind if I tag along

And if I say: "I love you" - I want you to know
It's not just because there's moonlight - although
Moonlight becomes you so

You're all dressed up to go to abode
Now don't tell me I'm wrong
And what a night to go shopping
Mind if I tag along?

Moonlight becomes you - I'm thrilled at the sight
And I could get 20% off all of my purchases tonight!

Good for the hours between 5 until seven, now you and I will be in shopping heaven!

Inspired by: Anne of Green Gables

After spending the weekend curled up on the couch watching Anne of Green Gables I realized that not only is this movie full of some extrememly quotable one liners, it's also full of some seriously beautiful antiques. The wallpaper, the luggage, the books, the clothes, the quilts!    To. Die. For. 

If you're loving the Green Gables vibe as much as I am, you should for sure stop by the store to check out our vintage luggage, antique rocker, and all our other extremely Anne with an "e" items!

"I know I chatter on far too much... but if you only knew how many things I want to say and don't you'd give me some credit. " -Anne Shirley
