High Point Market Recap!

We sent a team to High Point Market last week to scope out the latest in furniture and home decor trends, and the report they came back with was outstanding!

Marty, Lisa, Todd, and Elizabeth got some amazing new furnishings for the showroom floor, but since we don’t have any of them yet, they also brought back literally hundreds of pictures for us to see so the rest of us could feel like we were there.

Since we couldn’t put all of their pictures up, here are a few of the highlights!

Gorgeous Greens

{  s h a d e s   o f   g r e e n  }

With St. Paddy’s day only a couple of days away, we thought it would be a great time to celebrate one of nature’s favorite hues: GREEN! From mint to emerald, sage to moss, and everything in between, the many shades of green always seem to be beautifully calming.

Here are a few green beauties we currently have in the showroom!

Have a great Monday and be sure to check back later this week as we give you a preview of a REALLY great project two of our designers just completed!

Color For The Outdoors

With spring approaching, we’re starting to think about outdoor entertaining, backyard cookouts, and beautiful parties under the night sky! Outdoor furniture accented with acryllic outdoor fabrics, which can handle weather and sun exposure, take a space from okay to outstanding!

Designer Trina Turk collaborated with Schumacher on a whimsical, brightly colored indoor/outdoor collection that we love!

Why We Love Blue and White

Lately we’ve been smitten with one of the most classic color combinations of all time: Blue and White. From creamy white to stark white, and from turquoise blue to a soft icy blue, these shades always seem to mix just perfectly!

We have a good blue+white showing on our floor right now, so here are a few of our favorite instances of this stunning duo!

such pretty tufting!

Foreshadowing

[ Happy Monday, everyone! ]

We hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

We’ve got a lot of excitement in the works around here, including a guest post for a blog that we completely adore! Until that post goes live, we can’t say too much, but wanted to give you a sneak peek at the room we’re featuring in that post. This little girl’s room is feminine, modern, and outright fantastic!

This guest post should be up in the next week or so. We’ll keep you updated!

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Market Recap {Hickory Chair}

Market Recap {Hickory Chair}

The Hickory Chair showroom sweeps us off our feet every market! The customization options with them are almost endless, plus their pieces are just so well made!! Elish, Elizabeth, and Lisa even got to meet Suzanne Kasler!

Get Lisa’s thoughts on Hickory Chair!

At the Hickory Chair showroom we were wowed by the talented artisan striped pieces they offer. Anything is possible with this company and that is why we love them!

This piece comes as a table in any size! And I love the custom finish options!!

Another piece in Hickory Chair's custom finish. How beautiful and so well made!

And again… look at this custom option to paint anything you want in the back of this fab bookcase!

Okay… we lost our minds in Suzanne Kasler’s spaces for Hickory Chair. And she always takes the time to discuss design and all things fabulous with us! Love her!

Us with Suzanne Kasler!

More High Point recaps to come! If you missed the ones before this, be sure to go back and take a look. Market this year was FABULOUS!

Market Recap {Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams}

Market Recap {Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams}

One of the highlights of High Point every season is visiting the Mitchell Gold showroom. They’ve always got impressive new intros (and color-coordinated candy to go with each grouping!) Take a look at a few of Lisa’s favorite things from the Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams showroom this round…

At the Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams showroom. We took a few minutes to get off of our feet on this comfy chair!

We bought the whole group where this lovely chair sat. This fabric, Cordoba Cognac is my favorite fabric they offer! Warm and soft… it looks good on everything!

This was in their front window and I love this table as a desk or in a breakfast room!

Their showroom was so colorful this market! Plums were everywhere!

The Liam sofa in a new peacock velvet. I’ll take 2, thank you!!

New modern gorgeous dining table from MG+BW.

Mitchell and the SummerHouse girls!! Love him!

Elish takes a break on a MG+BW sectional. Sometimes when the days go from 6 am to 10 pm…you have to take a break!

What’s your favorite piece of furniture from these photos? We already have some of the new Mitchell Gold goodies on our showroom floor! Come see! More market recaps to come… :)

{ happy valentine’s day }

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you! We love this holiday because someone usually brings cupcakes and/or candy, someone usually brings elementary school Valentine’s cards (which take us back to the good ol’ days), and someone usually gets flowers from a sweet boyfriend/husband (which we all can enjoy!)

Another reason we love this holiday is because we’re reminded of just how beautiful and versatile pinks, corals, and reds can be! We picked a few Schumacher fabrics (from many collections) showcasing just why we love the colors of love.

Enjoy today!
Tell someone you love them!
And do something nice for someone!
That’s a sure-fire way to make your Valentine’s Day the best possible! Oh, and when you get blue, just re-visit this post for a little happiness and warmth from these pretty fabrics! :)
