It’s been fun these past few days reviewing fellow bloggers’ notes on their favorite finds, fads and trends from the High Point furniture market, and one is eternally grateful for not having had to go one’s self. High Point is a big deal in our industry, of course, not to mention in my home state, but it can be overwhelming. Heck getting through everybody’s blogs about High Point is a bit much, but it’s wonderful having them edit it for us. Here is one I especially liked, from the wonderful and geographically diverse Material Girls blog, as written by their LA impresaria, Jill Seidner of Jill Seidner Interior Design. Enjoy.
P.S. Today is His Grace’s birthday, and I have brought him to Canyon Ranch (a spa) as punishment for not letting me give him a party… though is not immune to the occasional facial, I notice.

{The official High Point Market Spring 2012 poster}
I’ve just returned from a fabulous trip to High Point Market Spring 2012! Hardly made a dent in all that there is to see – but here’s a highlight of some of the things that did catch my eye!
Seeing a lot of the natural and organic, this rope chandelier at Regina Andrew really caught my attention!
And these little side tables too, also from Regina Andrew.
Noir Furniture had a ton of great accessories, furniture, and lighting – Katie of Matchbook Magazine was eyeing some of the accessories!
Oomph was fresh and vibrant – lots of colorful items in their collections!
Pretty sure this is the prettiest backgammon table I’ve ever seen!
All the little side tables from Oomph are fun in their assortment of colors and patterned tops!
Dransfield & Ross had some very pretty bedding, bathroom accessoires, and pillows in their space at High Point. I loved some of the soft muted colors in their bedding collections.
All of these bathroom accessories from Dransfield & Ross are gorgeous!
This nautical pillow in their collection has been a long time favorite of mine, perhaps stemming from my year’s of being around boats.
The Halo showroom is always where it’s happening…gotta love that edgy industrial chic vibe with a British edge by Timothy Oultan.
The fab lighting at the Halo Styles showroom.
“Kids in the window” – at the Oly showroom with Christian of Maison21, Ashlina of The Decorista, Crystal of Rue Magazine, Mandy, & Cassandra of Coco + Kelley.
So fresh and pretty and Spring-like at Oly!
There were some very pretty upholstered pieces, like this headboard from Thomasville.
And this side chair too, from Thomasville.
Loved this headboard at Drexel Heritage!
This console table from Drexel Heritage with the tie dye effect fabric and nail-head trim really caught my eye – and so did the whole vignette, love the Arabesque mirrors too!
Over at Hickory Chair, these “painterly” textiles from Hable Construction were a favorite of all of us.
The painted effect seems to be popular, as also seen on this chest at Hickory Chair.
More vibrant colors on the fabric in this Hickory Chair.
As one of the featured designer collections at Hickory Chair, Suzanne Kasler’s girl’s room vignette was oh so pretty!
As always, the Currey & Co showroom space was magnificent, filled with all their amazing lighting (& furnishing) pieces!
I spotted these fun and colorful pendants at Currey & Co from across the room!
Loved this elegant table lamp from Currey & Co named “Cassandra” after our own Cassandra from Coco + Kelley!
We had the most fun and fantastic tour of CR Laine given to us by Holly. All of us enjoyed visiting the showroom – we even got to pick out fabrics for pillows that are being made for us! Can’t wait to share that! This is the entry to the showroom space. Again, seeing lots of pretty colors and a fresh, Spring like look!
Cassandra of Coco + Kelley and Ashlina of The Decorista fit right into the CR Laineshowroom!
Global Views was filled with so many great accessories & furnishings – it was like being a kid in a candy store! And lots & lots of color!
Thought this tall headboard at Global Views was very chic.
In awe of this credenza from Global Views, too – love the detailing and hardware.
The ever so cool Four Hands showroom had a lot of great things going on (& not just because they throw the best party in town during High Point Market!) – loved these cluster of pendants and the round dining table.
These colorful Moroccan lanterns were seen all through out the Four Hands showroom.
And if you are looking to catch a breath of fresh air, step out onto the balcony at Four Handswhich is filled with beautiful outdoor furniture and overlooks the buildings of High Point!
