best new home design:
abingdon 12

walk into
abingdon 12 in the city's west village and you may feel like you just stepped into a cool part of london. named after the park just across the street - abingdon square - this new home design store should win the award for cheap, chic and incredibly original.

owner paul caddell and his wife recently purchased this old-school brownstone on hudson street and converted the first floor into
abingdon 12 - a market of incredible leather stools, rusted wrought iron chairs, vintage leather clocks, and a whole slew of great odds and ends for the home. (lucky or unlucky for them - they live just upstairs.)

their style: industrial vintage. their price range: unbelievably fair. their taste: impeccable.

if you're looking for a holiday gift, beware - you may just walk out with something for yourself.
