One of the great advantages of having one of our offices in High Point, NC  is that we have amazing resources at our fingertips. Since we are surrounded by all the furniture showrooms on a day to day basis we become very familiar with our favorite ones. It seems as if our economy is climbing, this years market was bustling and full of inspiration and beautiful designs perfectly displayed across hundreds and thousands of showrooms. Below are some of our favorites: enjoy!

Its not hard to see why this is one of our favorite showrooms at market…

The large scale of the light fixtures creates drama and give a cozy feel to this little “lounging nook” in the showroom.

Love the scale of the horse!

We love love love the stacks of books on the stairs (look at the left)

Our favorite drapes at market!

Natural and organic woods are becoming a trend.Their earthy quality really shines when juxtaposed with a simple little linen slipper chair, a stainless steel accessory, or a glass vase. Remember, its all about the mix! Contrasting materials make for a more interesting composition.

What a nice surprise!

As we were walking through Neal Johnson and Bourgeoise 3D’s showroom in Innerhall, this magazine cover caught our eye. It’s our featured article on the cover of Charlotte’s Home and Garden magazine! Bourgeoise 3D and Neal are based out of Charlotte and their line offers a great mix of newly interpreted case pieces and  beautiful antiques.

One of the popular items seen at market this fall were gypsy tents, posted outside of a number of buildings all around market. We picked up a flyer for “The Martyn House” and discovered that these tents are transformed into guest rooms at this little resort in Ellijay, GA
