Each Spring the design industry pulls out all the stops for the High Point Furniture Market. A massive, 10 million square foot trade show that introduces designers and furniture retailers to the newest offerings for our industry. Each show, I look forward to certain showrooms that I know will go over the top in merchandising their spaces. One of my favorite stops is Global Views, they always have the most amazing wall groupings. Pictured here is a booth they did for the Diffa organization during their Dining by Design kick off tour of the country. Check out the way the company used their starburst wall hangings en masse. It is brilliant! Global Views is always right on the mark with color trends and I always enjoy seeing their approach to modern accessories.
Another favorite stop is Cyan Design. They offer lighting and accessories. Again, this store is a great one for spotting trends in color, texture and design. The company uses whimsy, lighting, and fabulous merchandising techniques to showcase their products.
There entire first floor of the International Home Furnishings Center is dedicated to designer friendly companies. Isle after isle of goodies await. For me, it is like going to the a candy store for adults! I can't wait. As soon as I return, I will share some of the fabulous things that I find... stay tuned!

A designer is as good as her team...
Every designer relies on a team of people to help execute her design vision. I have worked very hard to assemble a top notch team of craftsmen and professionals to rely on for excellence in execution and customer service. I have nick named them "The "A" Team". This name is so appropriate because this group brings their best effort to each task. There are many folks out there that will give you adequate, we strive for exceptional.
The following pictures will introduce you to some of the work done by these guys...

This week...
This week, I am working on two interiors that are either on or are near Lake Wylie, SC. Both homeowners are interested in incorporating a coastal "vibe" into the design for their homes. Working on two homes with the same design direction has never happened in my business before. It will be fun to see just how differently we approach each home. They will be as different and unique as their homeowners and we will be sure to include some after pictures in about 3 or 4 months!
