WALKING THE HALLS OF AMERICAS MART

I seem to be a little out of sorts lately....forgetting to post on Tuesday and now I was totally un-prepared to post yesterday [Friday]....so as you can see this got moved to today!

I blame it on a busy week....with the mart in town and 2 bloggers that I got to meet up with!  Debra from 5th and State and Cindy from Rough Luxe

I had never met Debra.... and Cindy only once at Highpoint for about 5 minutes.  Y'all....it was like we had been neighbors for 10 years.....which is probably a good thing we aren't because there was some  level of craziness in all 3 of us....which could make for a dangerous combo;)

Just saying.

After spending the day cruising the halls of Americas Mart we went to one of my fav restaurants.... Cape Dutch.

I got the Sea Bass....it was a mouth party!

Also if you go get the mussels....seriously!

Alrighty then....let's review some good stuff I saw at the mart.

My earrings on day one....I got these and the headband at Anthropologie.  They are very light weight so as not to drag these old earlobes to the ground....haha  You can see my Target shirt peeking out :) 

I started walking the antique floor and saw some pretty vignettes....

Fig branches everywhere!

Pretty art from Huff Harrington

Pretty rugs

These new rugs from Dash and Albert!

Annie Selke bedding and rugs....

This bedding....I spy a sheepie right there in the middle:)

Took a stroll through Gabby....I always love their showroom.

This large rattan mirror against the dark walls....yes please.

Always looking for narrow console tables...love the style of this one!

Their wallpaper game is always strong as shown with the black and white and the pink marbleized below.

So much blue....it is still going strong!

And plenty of black and white!

Do you think I was drooling over these?

Since I am a floral arranger now....[remember my attempt for my nieces shower....not!] I gathered up some of the arrangements I saw in Gabby.

So purdy.....

After blue...and black and white....green was everywhere!

I gotta admit....dying to use some green in a project!

I've got like a million more pictures and definitely a pillow post to come!

My husband just doesn't understand how I can wall the halls of the mart 4 days in a row.....ahhhhh men.  Gotta love em but don't understand them right?

Did you have a favorite?  Are you on the green bandwagon?

IT'S ALL ABOUT PILLOWS

Thanks for the sympathy about the toilet paper situation.  I know.....#firstworldproblems

I took so many pictures while at the mart last week....and I'm trying to categorize them so I can share.  I could just dump them all but what a lazy blogger I would be:)  I think the best thing to do is start with pillows because I am a big believer that they can be a game changer in a room....

I used to change mine all the time and by "all the time" I mean incessantly.... but I have relaxed that stance somewhat.  It seems like there are only so many black and white pillows that look different to the "untrained eye".....hahaha

These black and white beauties get me every time....I own quite a few and if I had more vessels....well then I would add a few more to my collection.

They are by Sugar Feather and are only sold to the trade so find yourself a designer and get some:)

My friend Sudi had some beauties also.....

 

 Blue is still a big seller!

The pictures below are from Ryan Studio

The Thibaut pillow below is a pattern I just used in a project.... and I also used it in the House Beautiful living area in the jewel tones.

3 guesses why I loved these pillows....

Yep....texture overload!

The ones below are by Lacefield Designs

Annie Selke

This isn't a pillow but I was smitten by this throw....I think I would wear it though:)

Love this watercolor style below....

And this one random pillow that I saw....and don't remember where....

Inspired?  Maybe a spring refresh?

I am headed to my new workout obsession Bach this morning.....it is kicking my butt.  Today is leg day.....ugh
