Spring Market

For the first time this year I attended the High Point Market in High Point, North Carolina to see all of the latest and greatest furniture and accessory lines.  I attended with several interior designer friends and made a few days of it.  I rarely get back to the state of North Carolina since the 4 years I spent in Durham during college, and it was a treat.  Although, I can't imagine spending time in High Point, NC if Market was not going on.  In fact, we spoke to a "waiter" at one of the restaurants who said that he is a lawyer by trade but during the week of Market, he takes time off to moonlight as a server because that is how much money he makes. 

Anyway, I found this trip to be extremely worthwhile and even managed to have quite a bit of fun in the process!  I found some great pieces and new resources for clients.  I am including a bunch of photos I took from various showrooms we visited.  Enjoy!


Loving the turquoise

Loving the miniature furniture at Oly



Fun with silhouette art outside of the Christopher Guy showroom with my travelling companions and fellow designers, Meredith and Gillian
Little fun/quirky/pretty things that caught my eye that I just couldn't resist snapping photos of...
Too cute with the little duck feet!

Totally bizarre but certainly a conversation piece...

Fun silver garden stools, great as end tables!

My nautical obsession drew me to these hooks.  Great for a beach house mud room...


Love this side table!


Love the shape of this chair back

What a fun gift for a teacher, love these bizarre little brass apple scuptures

Great for indoor or outdoor on a table, maybe filled with succulents...
Just a little overview of some of what I saw at Market this year.  Looking forward to the next Market in the fall and meeting up with all of the friends I made this time around.

Have a great weekend!
