High Point Part One

I had the best time hanging out with a few blogging pals in High Point, NC at the furniture market. This market takes place twice a year. You would think with this being the spring market that it would have been warm, but a cold front moved in and we were quite cold every time we had to go outside and wait on a bus or shuttle to get around. This was my first time ever attending a market and it was so big and crowded, but we had so much fun. What's not to love being surrounded by all kinds of beautiful home decor?

Here is a group shot of us wild and crazy gals. I borrowed this photo from Shirley who was my gracious hostess at her home.From the left back row is Suzy of Worthing Court and  Rhoda of Southern Hospitality. Front row from left isShirley of Housepitality Designs, Amy of Atta Girl Says who is the one who put this together for us, me, Kristen of Sophia's Decor, and Courtney of French Country Cottage. This photo was taken on day two.

There was so much to see and we barely scraped the surface of what was there to see. You could probably stay for a month and not see it all, but it only runs for a week and we just had two days so we crammed in as much as we could and we were exhausted at the end of each day, but you just push through it.

We went in so many showrooms and I don't remember the names of all of them, but this photo and the next three was Noir and they had some really cool pieces. I love this black bamboo piece.

I loved this light, but it is huge and would need a really large room to hang in.

There was plenty of chandeliers, sconces, pendants and lamps to drool over. I didn't even notice that the pieces on the table have lips. Funny how you notice things later in the photos.

I really would love to have this one in my great room. 

Loved this bookcase with the iron latched doors.

Or how about a set of them?

Then we came up on Amy Howard at Home line of paints.

Everything in their showroom was finished with the Amy Howard products.

They were sharing how to use the products in the afternoon, but we has a show home tour to go to.

Love the finish on this chair.

This chair color and the fabric is so pretty together.
She also has a line of very pretty metallic spray paints.

Then it was on to the next room. I really wanted one of these to go home with me. 

We saw lots and lots of vintage olive buckets. These are hanging on the wall.

More buckets hanging above all these other goodies.

Yummy trophies and leather bound books.

I love ginormous clocks and this was a beauty.

Some old confit pots that I hope to find in France.

Kristen and I found these pretty cool. They are made from paint can lids.

If any of you have followed me very long you know I have a thing for pillows. I was in pillow heaven in High Point.

One of our favorite showrooms was Eloquence. They had some really pretty pieces and you can order the furniture in different finishes.

This photo is a little fuzzy. Btw, I was using my point and shoot. Didn't want to haul the heavy camera.

This was so pretty and so simple to do. Just stuff a big chippy worn urn with Spanish moss.

That is most of what we saw on day one before heading to the Women's Junior League show home.

I will share that soon plus more photos from day two that I need to go through. I took 195 pics the first day and 150 the second so I have only shared a few with you.

Be sure and come back tomorrow to tour another beautiful favorite room.
