Mad for Madcap Cottage -Fabulous Friends on Friday!

 mad·cap  (mdkp)

adj.

Behaving or acting impulsively or rashly; wild.  

When I looked up the word madcap in the dictionary, that was the definition I found used to describe madcap.  I find it amusingly perfect for today's Fabulous Friends on Friday, Jason Oliver Nixon and John Loecke!  Actually their design business is called "Madcap Cottage" and they are "wildly" talented, so the name fits them to a tee.  The guys themselves are the epitome of southern Gentleman.  Not sure how they ended up in New York, but we are working hard to get them to move south!

Hot Trends at High Point Market April 2013

Last Night I participated in my first ever twitter chat.  Have you done one? 

Let me tell you it moves really fast when there are lots of people in the room.  My head was 

still spinning this morning just thinking about it!  It was tons of excitement though!  The chat 

was lead by the fab Lisa Ferguson of Decor Mentor and five of her designer mentors, Lisa  

Kahn-Allen, Elaine Williamson, Jennifer Brouwer, Kati Greene Curtis and Beth Dotoloof 

Pulp Design Studios  curated their favorite new High Point Market introductions from over 

299 entries of pictures that were sent to them by Cheminne Taylor-Smith, Vice President of 

Marketing for the High Point Market.  What are the trends I spotted? Honeycomb patterns, 

emerald green is obviously the color of the year and we saw brass!!!

What to see some of the items picked for the chat?

The first item introduced in the chat was this honeycomb bookcase by Henredon.  

It drew gasps even on twitter!
