Abigail Ahern

This weekend's Get the Look: Decor is inspired by the mixture of hard and soft in the lavender filled home of Abigail Ahern. She has achieved a unique harmony composed of completely disparate elements: industrial sculpture, oversize objects, cement and metal mixed with soft neutrals like lavender and grey, pops of vibrant color and 3D mop-like rugs. It all combines to form an exquisite balance that just can't be denied. Today we're going to show you how to achieve Abigail's brilliant decor using elements found on Etsy. You can view more inspiring photos of Abigail's home in the Sneak Peeks column on Design*Sponge.
