Celebrate Earth Day At ABC Carpet & Home

To celebrate our planet on Earth Day, I am featuring one of my favorite NYC stores, ABC Carpet & Home. The store and their website is fabulous, and filled with inspiration. They believe in makers that create earth-kind objects. In general, their approach to sustainable design supports a healthier planet, home, and individual. Love that!

Get inspired and take yourself shopping at ABC Home

Rugs & Carpets

Let's begin with rugs. They feature in store and online the one of the largest collections of rugs in the world. Alchemy carpets are hand knotted in a fair trade factory in India. Sari silks and wools are upcycled to spin fabric for new rugs.  Every rug is 100% handmade. You just don't find that everywhere. The Essentials Collection is more moderately priced, but also hand made in India. If you are looking for wall to wall carpet, and live in the NY Tristate area, you are in luck, as they are having a 50% off sale! 

Pillows & Cushions

One of my favorite areas in the store. Everything is just so creatively displayed, and of course, handmade. You will just want to plop into a pile of pillows, poufs, and cushions. 

Bedding

Put some love into your sleep sanctuary with non-toxic bedding. These shades of pink are comforting, but you'll find any color that you are looking for. The organic bedding is mindfully handmade in India by local artisans. 

Dining & Entertaining

This department, on the first floor is displayed like a luxurious emporium. A world of coupes, tumblers, cups, carafes, and flutes await you. Not to mention the handcrafted dinnerware made by ceramicists all over the world. The organic shapes and materials are so awesome and appealing. Bonus is that they carry my favorite non-toxic, non-stick Caraway Cookware. 

Furniture

The furniture is all hand crafted from sustainably sourced wood. Choose from custom furnishings and upholstered pieces to vintage one of a kind styles. 

Lighting

A little light here and there, makes all the difference. Their design forward collection is filled with functional works of art.  It's all energy conscious, LED, and made responsibly. From floor to ceiling, these lights are never boring. 

Art & Decor

Featured in this department are fabulous candles with scents designed to bring forth uplifting positivity and calm.  One of a kind vases are handcast inside of balloons. Others are made  in France, and recycled glass bottles are given new life as Phoenician glass sculptured forms.  All of these thoughtful touches make your space a beautiful reflection of yourself.

Jewelry

Jewelry handmade with love. ABC's jewelry  respects exceptional craftsmanship as well as human and environmental rights. Celestial and ethereal, their selection is made from responsibly sourced gemstones and sustainable metals.

 Wellness

"Find a moment, lean into the calm, let go of the thoughts and listen. Your skin and spirit deserve a reprieve." I always linger in this section. It's my kind of heaven. You are instantly calmed by the aromatherapy experience of the non toxic products like "Carry Om Aromatherapy Essence, and 

"Spirit Works Space Essence."

You'll want everything in the Bath and Body department. I found the Alchemist's Kitchen organic CBD balm in fragrances like Lemongrass. The Face Steam and Bath Tea, and all of the intentional objects to aid your well being, are so interesting. 

Natural Beauty

This is another fun department with non toxic natural makeup and skincare. Stocked is olive oil lipstick, Sundays non toxic nail polish, Eve Perez vanilla highlighter, and so many more unique and healthy products.

This Valentine's Day Give The Gift Of Wellness

One of the best ways to say I love you, is by gifting from your heart. And if that gift is good for their heart, body or soul, it is even more meaningful. This year above all others, the gift of wellness is greatly needed. Featured in this edit is something for all of your loves. You'll find aromatherapy, organic skincare, 40 calorie doses of chocolate, essential oils for the shower and laundry,  a cookbook for guys, and some romantic body oil. Be well and gift wellness.

Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Diffuser

I use essential oils daily. They are my treat, my cures, my healthy habit. But I have never diffused them. Especially with Covid, scenting and purifying the air around you is so important. These are simple and minimal, yet still lovely to look at. The idea is to fill with water then add a few drops of your favorite essential oil like grapefruit or lavender. 

Soul Shine Holistic

Vitruvi Essential Oils Kit

If you are gifting the above diffuser, do get this set to go with it. It features four natural oils to diffuse, use in bath water, or on the skin: Calming Lavender, Invigorating Eucalyptus, Refreshing Spruce, or energizing grapefruit.

Miss Patisserie Shower Steamers

For the non bathers, or people like me who shower in the morning and bathe in the evening. These pretty pastel wedges feature unique blends of essential oils which infuse your shower with a spa like experience. Give the power of aromatherapy with scents like orange peel, lavender, jasmine, lemongrass, juniper berry, and eucalyptus. 

Anthropologie

No.723 Collection Set

Blooms are beautiful but these bottles will last longer. The Laundress Laundry products are my guilty pleasure. This company creates cleaning products without harsh and toxic chemicals. The scent is most of all fresh. But it also is very lightly scented with damask rose, geranium, jasmine, and warm notes of amber and wood. Beyond lovely. Your laundry room will thank you. 

The Laundress NYC

Bathorium 

Garden Mint + Rose Apres Bath Sleepy Tea

The Detox Market

Susanne Kaufmann
Mallow Blossom Bubble Bath

This product is for some serious self care. It's pricey as far as bubble bath goes, but it does so much for the body. Chamomile extract stimulates skin metabolism and regenerates skin tissue. Mallow extract reduces skin irritation. Juniper extract  strengthens circulation and stimulates metabolism. Pine oil has an invigorating and detoxifying effect. And all of it together supports the immune system!

Sephora and Violet Grey
