HIGHPOINT MARKET FINDS

OK.....I watched the episode of Hoarders about the Julian Price House.  2 things....I am now convinced I am not a hoarder.....if only for the fact I do not have 31 rooms to fill.  

Second thing....when they showed all of those vintage fabric samples in the basement....I had a desire to have them.

What a haul that would be!

Next up on the agenda is I neglected to tell you guys about my House Beautiful dinner at the String and Splinter Club while in Highpoint.

Yes.... as I was casually packing for my trip I got an invite to a small dinner of designers and vendors thrown by Sophie Donelson.   Gulp.  This changes everything.

What the hell to wear.  I destroyed my closet and came up with nothing.  Zero....zilch....nada.  So I went to my neighbors house and we tried on things....still nothing.  Poop.

In the end I just threw in half my closet and said "maybe when my hair is clean....with makeup on....things will look better".

Right?

Anyway I managed to pull it together and after accessing everyone else I feel like I did a decent job of faking my fashion sense.

Now back to what I saw at Highpoint.  I will try to remember the vendors but can't promise!

Starting with some new products from Circa Lighting

This collection below from Julie Neill was stunning.....it also came in white!

Julian Chichester had us all gasping with this pattern from Christopher Farr Cloth

Branches everyday....all day.

Everything was beautiful!

This pretty flower arrangement made with babies breath in the Universal Showroom

This bed....

Nice leather modern chair.....

Love this "faux bois" bench from Currey and Co

This gallery wall from 214 Modern Vintage  Love visiting this store.....

I can't remember where I saw this....but I liked it!

Next up is Design Legacy

This new fabric collection from Denise McGaha

Love this sofa fabric....

CR Laine chairs

Headed over to BoBo Intriguing Objects 

Something as simple as old wood on the wall....

Celerie Kemble's collection for Eastern Accents

So textural!

I am sure you are glazing over by now.....there is so much more!

And....the most asked question from the Julian Price House......lighting over the kitchen island....they are from Currey and Co.

MORE HIGH POINT MADNESS

Boy when you go out of town for a week.....all hell breaks loose.  

Before I left I spent 2 days ordering and getting things done.

The problem with that is..... it's never static.....and you arrive home to 5 days worth of more work.

Ahhhhhh.....the treadmill of life!

But I just have to blab a little more on what I saw last week because...well....it's what I do:)

I think my team and I agree that one of the biggest trends we noticed were layered coffee tables or if you are going to google....."nesting coffee tables".

These are just some I googled because it was such a BIG TREND that I only got one image.  

Crikey.

My one example from  Highland House Furniture.

Which brings me to this bit of information about their collaboration with Bungalow Classic.

So pretty.

Another showroom we ran into was this one....

And did you know they have a wallpaper line with York?

Joanna loves her some round mirrors!

Two of my favorite things from Gabby Furniture

 This light fixture and coffee table below.

A trip through Bernhardt Furniture

This chair was so comfy!

Never met an etagere I didn't like and this one was no exception.

This bedroom chest....hubba hubba

Cruising through Ryan Studio pillows and we all had a moment while slashing through their showroom like we owned the place.

Then there was 214 Modern Vintage.

Um.....hell yeah.

I wish I had bought these bowls.....

This vignette gave me a moment.  I fell in love with mint green and the wall colors. 

This Arteriors floor lamp.....

Pretty grid.....

And last.... I think chairs are my favorite and these from Julian Chichester got me going.

Which brings me to another point....lots of teal and green together.  AND......drum roll please...

Black and White!

Uh huh.  Design Indulgence.....#trending.

And....just so you don't think I was eating at 5 star restaurants every night here's a newsflash.

We actually ate at a Mobile gas station. 

Yep....living the life baby.

But before you get a "judgey" on me take a look.....

Probably cleaner than my own kitchen....just saying.

Warning.....there may be another post about High Point in the future.

Not today though.  Gotta get the weekend started!

I'm going to the Mother Clucker Fried Chicken festival on Sunday....ha ha.
