Snippets from High Point Market 2012...

Glimpses of Noir...

rope and string in many showrooms, wrapped around furniture on chandeliers,

and many other objects...

More rope...

quatrefoil mirror and interesting pendants...

gre

don't typically like art in furniture showrooms but this was interesting...

love this mirror & console...

Tidbits of Gabby...

adore this ottoman...

great coffee table...

Whipping by Worlds Away....

clean lines and greek key...

who said gold was gone?

tufted has hung in there

orange in many showrooms, even if just popping from the rim of a wastebasket or trim on a pillow.

Gold starburst...

Made it by Madegoods....

reclaimed and starbursts are still a hit..

this shape hasn't gone anywhere..

touches of marrekesh and the forever fav coral/beach is treading trends...

Use of wood and metals.  also saw inlaid bone in many show room fixtures..

gourd lamps still abound, trying to decide if gold or silver is the hit..
it's seems that anything goes!  whatever you fancy but gold is definitely not gone!

completely made by hand...

painted plaster and lanterns...

When it was time to "go home".....

Mercury glass galore!

Lots of books...

Urban industrial is still around....

Ok, so here is a snippet of some of the things i saw yesterday.  I'm headed out the door to view more. I think I took about 100 photos, so you will have plenty more to view when I get time to organize.  I got there 10 minutes after Tobi Fairley's speech started so they wouldn't let me in.  Due to the darn traffic on the interstate, thank you very much!  Went to the bathroom to regroup once I got into the building and ran into Jamie Meares of i suwannee and Furbish.  She is so incredibly nice.  We chatted a bit about how grueling market is and then headed on our ways.  She said that she had 10 more places to go to finish her day.  Make sure you check out her boards on the High Point Stylespotters site along with all the other stylespotters.  Wonder who I will run into day.  That is the fun thing about market week.  You never know who is around the corner!  Yesterday saw the crew from Alice Lane Home.  A crew from Jayson Home.  A very pregnant buyer from Shades of Light.  She looked adorable but I am sure she was miserable ( That could have been you Emily!) Email me if you have questions about anything in the photos and i will tell you what i know!  off to conquer another day in High Point!  I'm dressed better today!  yesterday I froze!  Obviously High Point thinks it's still winter!  Ok, so what I am I still doing here?  I was suppose to leave an hour ago, I'm wasting precious time on the computer.  Later tater!
