MARVELOUS MARKET MADNESS

I’ve certainly been missing in action on my blog for the past week

but definitely not "Missing the Action"

 

Last week was my annual trip to High Point Market and it was non-stop adrenaline

My charge? 

To seek out the newest trends and returning favorites.

Both give me an idea of what manufacturers think are

winning bets for the coming year. 

Design is not static – and this process keeps me fresh and current.

This market had so much variety but one common thread was

in all shades from pale aqua to peacock!

I love this curvy bench from Pearson with it’s tie-dyed 60’s vibe.

There’s a certain quality of elegance to these shades of aqua.

They’re both exciting and soothing…

Maybe that’s the intent?  Home is a place that should nurture both.

This updated Louis XV chest from Hooker is so "Now"

Painted in MONACO BLUE, one of Pantone’s top color picks for Spring 2013,

 it’s a standout!

And the accessory lines followed suit.  

Blue was the new AND the old as seen in everything from contemporary art glass lamps…

 …to classic blue and white porcelains.

 

So much more to share with you so check in later this week for my next Market post!
