Margaret Carter's favorite sources of interior design merchandise

Anthropologie. Here's what Margaret Carter buys at this chain: doorknobs, glassware and bedding for girls' rooms. She keeps an owl cookie jar in her kitchen. http://www.anthropologie.com.

Maurice Electrical Supply. Carter heads to this Capitol Hill source for bath fixtures, sconces and hanging lights. 500 Penn St. NE. 202-675-9400. http://www.mauriceelectric.com.

Johnson's Florist & Garden Center. Most Saturdays, you'll find Carter buying armloads of flowers here. She likes ferns and flowering plants such as coral begonias, both inexpensive and long-lasting. 4200 Wisconsin Ave. NW. 202-244-6100. http://www.johnsonsflorists.com.

2Modern. She finds many different shapes and prints in lampshades here, as well as mod hanging lamps. http://www.2modern.com.

Wisteria. A perfect source for rugs, garden containers and chairs, says Carter, who recently bought this Swedish-style round-backed chair for a client. http://www.wisteria.com.
