Last time on the blog I shared my lesson outline for Pinner’s Conference 2018. But what those of you who were not in attendance missed out on were all of the wonderful questions asked by audience members! In an attempt to remember them all, I would love to delve into those key conversations over the next upcoming blog posts. Giving you (and even those in attendance) a chance for an even more detailed answer to everyone’s most commonly asked questions!

One of the questions I got during the duration of the meeting was, “Where do you like to go to shop?”

In all honestly, I told her I keep a google doc of all of my favorite sources divided into categories (like furniture, lighting, artwork, etc.) so that when I am sourcing for a client I don’t forget shops I’ve stumbled upon previously and loved. Since THAT list is far too large - I’m going to break it up for you. Starting with, our go to sources. Meaning the more retail option shops that are always there, always stocked, always have multiple options to choose from, etc.

Later on, I’d like to share with you my other “small shop” favorites. Shops like my own, Shop by Ames Interiors, that are run locally, may have fewer options to choose from all the time, but have pretty things that you can’t pass up!

So let’s talk retail, shall we? Below we’ve divided up into categories our GO TO sources! Sources that will never fail to have the items you need. Each of them are linked so don’t be afraid to click on the title and be directed to their website to peruse through all the pretty options. Otherwise, we’ve linked our favorite options from each of them below! So scroll through the reel and click on the picture you like! It will direct you straight to the product should you wish to add it directly to your cart…

Happy shopping!
