Furniture Market

Viewing all the latest trends...while we are at...

Have a "Simply Irresistible"Week...until we return with some of our fabulous finds!

Monday Market Madness

I know...this post is titled for MONDAY!  Have you ever marked something off the "to-do" list because you are getting ready to tackle it...only to be interrupted and never actually do it?  Well, that is apparently what happened yesterday!!  So, for today, here is yesterday's post!  Sorry 'bout that!! 


It's almost that time again...Furniture Market starts this Saturday and runs through most of the following week. While pouring through all the vendors showing there this market and making our list of the showrooms we need to visit (you know me - I always go prepared) ...I thought it would be fun to share with you just a few exciting products from some of these vendors.

A Phillip Mirrored Desk covered with beveled mirror that features nine drawers on glides for storage.

 

I am smitten over this Gold Leaf Greek Key Table with mirrored top.

What do you think about this Neptune Gold Leaf Side Table? 

I love this green silk Dupioni w/ Flowers...ooh-la-la!

What's not to love about this Gold Floral Antique Mirror Edger?  I think these add so much pizzazz to a round accent table.

A great little Sag Harbor Table in Pink which is a powder coated cocktail table or low side table - isn't is fun!  Also available in other colors but you know I'd choose PINK!

I want to see this settee that's shown here with this "Flock Together" fabric.  This is a wonderful upholstery line.

This luscious Double Gourd Brush-Stroke Lamp with hand-carved gilt base - Chinese Blue - is a great find that I want to see.  What great lamps for end tables these would make...or perhaps bedside table lamps.  

Bright, bold and beautiful...describes this Sarasa Rug which is only one of many from this vendor we'll visit.

Oh, and these chairs...Side Chairs in red w/ an upside down heart motif for your lower back...a great look for your dining room or with your breakfast table.

Well, that's our Monday Market Madness wrap-up for today.  Can you tell how exciting it is to see a taste of what we'll find at market this year?  It's always great to visit our current vendors and get a hands-on view of their new products, but also fun to visit new showrooms as well.  What would YOU like us to find at market for YOU?  Anything in particular you are looking for?

Have yourself a "Simply Irresistible" Day!

Ta-Ta!

Behind the Scenes...at Market

One thing is for sure...we should never never stop learning!  Even after 25 years in the interior design business, I am always interested in expanding my knowledge in both design and business. We are all such unique individuals, with different personalities, different backgrounds and of course, 'footsteps' of many different experiences.  In other words, we all have a story. Therefore, yesterday was set aside to spend some time behind the scenes attending several educational seminars that were hosted by many talented designers, directors, trend setters, editors and publishers.....to learn from the vast experiences and knowledge of others in this industry. I believe we can all learn from and inspire others!

Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.  Albert Einstein

Fun with Accessories...at Market

Another great day we had at market!  "Ooh-la-la" is how I'll describe all the gorgeous accessories we found yesterday.  Hours upon hours combing the halls and showrooms with amazing finds around each corner.  Here's a few to share...

Loved these white mirrors!

How about these gourd lamps in lots of scrumptious colors! I so loved the new acrylic bases too.

Lots of pattern and lots of color - I was lovin' it all.

Adorable penguins!

Orange was strong at market this year - bold and beautiful.

Oil paintings...and I love birds, ya know!

Hope you enjoyed seeing a little of the beauty we found at market.   Aren't you ready for an accessory 're-do' after seeing some of these? We'll be sharing more from our week at market...so come on back!

Be sure to make it a "Simply Irresistible" Day!

Furniture Finds

Happy Monday everyone!  At last...the sun is out here again with temps heading up towards 80 degrees in High Point for yet another exciting day at furniture market...so off we go for more "finds".  First, how about a look at some great looking, well-built furniture that's made right here in the foothills of North Carolina. C.R. Laine has grown into a full service upholstered furniture manufacturer producing the best in customized, bench-crafted upholstery.

I found this line to be "Simply Irresistible"...every piece!

Here is the same chair as in above photo, but in yet another fabulous fabric...can't you just see the lovely color palette for this room? 

Want a little more contemporary look...how about this? Great bright and bold color palette and fun pillow designs too!

Have a 'Happy Monday' and be sure to come back for more finds from market this week.  Today we'll be hanging out with the "bling" (jewelry)...for design, of course...which are ACCESSORIES for your rooms!  Ta-Ta until next time!

Furniture Market time again...Yipee!

We are heading to...

and we don't have far to travel.  That's one of the 'perks' for living in good 'ole NC...not to mention that we are actually only about 20 minutes away! We are busy finalizing our list of vendors to visit, organizing our client shopping lists and color samples, packing up our "tote" bags for all our necessities we will need, and of course...picking out the most 'comfy' shoes we can find (lots of walking in the coming days!). Lots of preparation, but I can't wait to see all the new products, talk with our vendor reps, chat with other designers, and even attend a few design seminars.  I will also be bringing YOU some fresh ideas and amazing finds next week from market, hopefully to post along the way, but if not, then by the end of the week for sure. Stay tuned...sit tight...you won't want to miss all the 'treasures' we will find there!  Till next time...

Have a happy and "Simply Irresistible" week-end!

 Ta-Ta!
