HIGHPOINT





I am embarrassed to say this but I never started Game of Thrones....and now I feel left out.  Easy to rectify if I have 73 hours to binge....not sure when that will happen.

I think I am more of a Mad Men type of story line...binging 92 episodes of that seemed like a minute:)  And I was depressed when it was over...I felt lost.

I made it back from Highpoint on Wednesday and Thursday I was exhausted.....no energy.  It is always visual overload for sure so Thursday night I went to bed at 9:15. It felt so good.....

But let me show you a small amount of what I stumbled on while I was there.

I thought you might enjoy the view from our room!  We stay about 20 minutes from Highpoint and it's normally an 89.00 @night room but elevated to 290.00 @night during market!



This is where we always go for dinner the first night...the misspelling of Lunch should tell you something:)

But....they have these so all is good.  Which by the way will get you quite loopy if you drink the whole thing....hee haw.


Arteriors was our first stop and they never disappoint.


I thought these were tiles and immediately started planning a backsplash but was told by Lori that they were just finish samples....I can be a goof.











I am always looking for unusual bathroom mirrors!







My fav below....although Lori had a good idea to put a piece of glass on it.  Brilliant.

Moving on to Visual Comfort.  So many new introductions from great designers even Ellen Degeneres.....and hers were pretty awesome also!





We all know that lighting can make a space and it's nice that VC was also showing a lower priced line they now have.  Lights for everybody!

My favorite light from Currey and Co.....duh:)  Also followed by some great small drink tables....which I am also looking for!





  
I briefly walked into this booth but they were so busy I could not get any info....looks like wallpaper from Wendy O Connor and I am smitten with it!




And last up towards the end of the first day we cruised through Thibaut and I saw some of the wallpapers I posted about a while back....



How much do I love this paper below:)




And while there was a huge storm outside.....

Notice where Highpoint is....right in the middle of that mess!

I was in a nice dry space looking at some of Hooker's new line.  When we think of them we usually imagine big chunky furniture but things are changing over there and I was surprised at some of the findings!






So that was the end of day one.....

Hope you enjoyed the tour.....I've been busy working on my ORC and I gotta tell ya....it's hard and maybe I should have just stuck with my element.....black and white.  I mean crikey It's like the House Beautiful project all over again.

Werk....werk.....werk....:)

HIGHPOINT FURNITURE MARKET PT 2





I have some good news.....I finally broke through that plateau.....hanging in there to loose 2 more pounds to make it a total of 11 pounds since starting Weight Watchers Freestyle program on April 1st.

I've definitely broken some bad habits that contributed to putting on weight....wine every night, a half stick of butter on my toast every morning, handfuls of almonds....until the package was gone....and many more:)

My new goal is now a total of 15 which will probably take another month.  

My husband is sick of me coming in to announce my weight loss in a little "sing song" voice...ha ha.

When I was trying to think about what to blog about today I realized forgot to finish up sharing some of my Highpoint finds.

What better than to start with pillows....the earrings of design right!  Ryan Studio never fails to get me all "pillow giddy"....




Beautiful blues.....




Yes to green!




Neutrals and browns.









Florals!




My group is the neutral one....your favorites?

I always love my visit to Lee Industries and below are some of the styles I loved...

Office chairs are always so boring but not these....



Love the back of these.


What is NOT to love about this chair....!


Nice modern recliners.

Another favorite showroom is Palecek and every time I see all of their cool textural stuff I get a case of the "wants".....



I think every room should have some rattan in it.




I think I posted this mirror below last year because I love it so much!



The rest is probably only things I am interested in so I won't bore you!

I just finished listening to the podcast Missing Richard Simmons.  It was very interesting how he just disappeared.  Closed his exercise studio after being open a bajillion years....etc.  This is proof that I will listen to anything while walking Cami.

Are you guys shopping this weekend.....now is the time to finish up summer shopping because every store is sporting at least 40% off!



There is nothing I love doing more than kissing this nose....

Have a great Memorial Weekend!
