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....:)

PROJECT UPDATES

So glad you enjoyed Kelly's home....I was afraid that the shots were so small you might not see the goodness but y'all are amazing with your vision:)

Yes.... that black sisal is all I can think of.  I found some area rugs on Overstock.

But first you have to paint your floors white.....oh wait....I have white floors:)  Hee Haw

Now I just need some stairs.....

I went to my curtain install and fortunately my measuring skills were on point.

This office is painted BM Hale Navy.

The Hudson Valley Gaines light fixture is perfect for this space.

We ordered this Hooker Desk

And this rug.....

Which looks more gray than it really is as you will see.

For the curtains I just used a light gray/taupe linen with a navy tape down the sides.

Black iron hardware.....

The rug.

He had these chairs which were perfect for this space.

It's coming together nicely....just needs some accessories and a large piece of art behind the desk.

We are still working on this room but I love the deep rich colors....SW Urbane Bronze

You remember this.....

Circa Lighting Ralph Lauren light fixture! Thibaut textured wallpaper.

Arteriors leather ottoman

Still need a sofa.....this design business takes time!

In the basement I installed the pillows after the sectional came....

Still looking for barstools....

Gorgeous Charles Stewart sectional covered in Crypton fabric.

Waiting for the large leather ottoman and a few other accessories before this space is finished!

The other night I had dinner with friends.  They cooked a mean southern meal and added fried chicken from Publix.  Somehow the topic circled around to Publix chicken tenders and I was in shock.

Everyone at the table was ranting and raving about them and I was like HUH?  

I mean they are just fried tenders...isn't that what 6 year olds eat for dinner?  They set me right and I went the next day because if the topic comes around again I wanna be in the know.

I'm not going to confess how many I ate.....But let's say I might add them to my already prepared food rotation.

Holiday Weekends are all that.
