it is amazing, but new york seems to have an endless supply of really excellent, really small and pretty affordable home stores scattered throughout the city.   one of my favorite finds recently, which is not a find to many who are much more in the know in the design world, is apartment 48.  there were lots and lots of things to love here and while the price range was a range there was still plenty within reach.  the store has a wide range with accessories, some furniture,  and kitchen, bath and kiddie items and also offers interior design services.

 i particularly loved one of their bestsellers, the hobnail pitcher (pictured above) made of bohemian glass from prague for $115.   i was also super tempted by their melamine party and mixing bowls available in lots of bright colors from $10 up to $55, and i am also a big fan  of the savon de marseille soaps and do indulge in the olive lavendar scent for our kitchen when i can get j to abandon the more ec0-friendly park slope coop versions which just are not as lovely.  and if you want to see more about rayman boozer, the interior designer behind this shop who was really helpful when i visited, there are some great pictures of his own apartment floating around from when it was profiled in elle decor in 2006.   apartment 48, 12 west 17th street at 5th avenue, manhattan, new york.  .  (i found it a little tricky to find so just keep walking down the block if it is not at the exact address mentioned here).
