Fall Furniture Market Special


Having just returned from the Fall Market in High Point, North Carolina, we wanted to take you through what a typical week is like in a furniture mecca. 

First: Let me explain to you the sheer size of the High Point furniture market.  It covers nearly 13 million square feet and is contained in 180 buildings.  This place is not for the faint of heart.  And, as I was a rookie to market, I was told there is only one thing that you must abide by when packing, never bring a new pair of shoes to market, bring only ones that will allow you to walk for ten hours a day while remaining comfortable.  I followed the rule, and even with comfy shoes, your feet do get a little tired no matter what!

Now lets get to what truly matters, the new and beautiful pieces we found at market!


This piece has the elegant beauty of a mid-century modern classic, combine that with bold lines and you see why we immediately fell in love with this sofa and chair. 



This pattern was the fabric of market, we found it everywhere, and you can see why, it instantly allows a piece to mesh with a multitude of colors!  Very very versatile fabric. 


These pieces floored us, the walnut burl wrapped sofa and chair had the entire market abuzz.  Don't worry they will be safely placed in our showrooms soon so everyone can take a look!


We were definitely on the hunt for beds this fall, and we found some great ones.  The fabric headboard allows this minimalist bed to shine with anything placed around it!  


This sectional has elegant lines, combine it with beautiful two tone upholstery and you can see why we had to show it to you!

 

At the end of the week everyone deserves a fashionable break in a one of a kind lounger!  

Well that is a glimpse of our week at High Point, continue to read our blogs and follow us on facebook to keep up to date on what exactly we are getting in our showrooms!

Current Obsessions


Current Obsessions
Our Current Obsession that has carried over into the fall is Chevron patterns! 
Whether you are using chevron patterns in furniture pieces or simply refreshing a forgotten about aspect of your home, they make a welcome change!

It doesn’t take long and your stairs are now a focal point in your home!
Simply adding it to an existing sofa or chair using a pillow brings a bright refreshing look!

Fun!
If you aren’t as flattered with chevron patterns as we are, then look to any sort of bold geometric patterns to add life and modernize your space!

So if you are in need of a quick way to refresh your home, then look to these styles of fabrics, wall papers and colors to enhance your home!
