Buying at the High Point Furniture and Accessory Market in North Carolina is great fun. Tiring and exhausting, but fun! I would love to know how many SKU’s I see a day there…it would have to be in the gazillions. I know many “newbies” to the market never return as it is an explosion of eye candy that not many minds can wrap around and retain – let alone mentally design with.
The article
KC Home Design published in this month’s issue tells all, titled, “Saturday,” but there just wasn’t room enough for everything! So here are more pics that I would like to share with you from the buying trip, too. I could talk about it all day….
This gives you a tiny taste of the ridiculous amounts of product I sift through to cherry pick for my wonderful and fab clients. Then…make it work for their lifestyle, architecture, budget and personal taste.
- Just a thing or two to sort through…
Couldn't resist a sit!
Stopping to refigure and record.
My partner and I having a good time in a contemporary showroom.
This chandelier makes me melt (thus the chair back for support).
She is such a sweet and talented woman!
Such a great feel. Would love to design a whole house around them...
The "latest and greatest" color for 2009!
These were pretty in the sun...
Looking from IHFC toward Showplace building. Fascinating architecture, don't you think?
Thank you so much

It was fun to write a short article for Kansas City Home Design (see page 43 on this link’s digital version) on hiding wide-screen sets. There are some amazing solutions such as those from Inca Lifts, that will surely amaze you. Do be sure and check out the Inca Lift site. The Jetson’s, eat your heart out!

Another mention of us in Kansas City Home Design…
I love this fixture designed by Paul de Haan. It has a wonderful shape in that it isn’t a perfect sphere. It’s inconsistent and icy ornate look is glamorous in a Star Trek-y sort of way. An example of detail…the bulb with their mirrored surface, makes all the difference.
