What a difference a remodel makes!

Walking through this ski in – ski out property for the first time with my new clients immediately took me back in time to several years ago. Several years ago…when interiors had dark millwork, a lot of heavy faux wall finishes and busy patterned wallpapers.
High Point Highlights
The buying team is back from another trip to High Point, North Carolina for market. For those of you who aren’t familiar with it, The High Point Market is the largest home furnishings show in the world. Over 11 million square feet spread out over close to 200 buildings makes for a lot of walking, but it is THE place to see the best of what the home furnishings industry has to offer. The buying team travels to High Point twice a year for the fall and spring shows. Each trip is about seven days and that is hardly enough time to see all that we want to see.
A Time To Be Thankful
When I asked our Marketing Manager, Patti Biggs, what I was suppose to write about for this month’s blog she politely responded “whatever is on your mind!” I love design but, honestly, I do not think about it every waking moment! There a lot of things out there that gets me thinking. A book I just read is what’s currently frequenting my mind.ANDREW MORGAN TRUNK SHOW - THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1st - 5-7pm

’60s style poised to go off-screen this fall
As the fall lineup on most network TV stations debuts this week, it’s clear that the popularity of Mad Men has not gone unnoticed. Shows like Pan Am and The Playboy Club are bringing even more of the 1960s-era interior design, fashion, and culture to the small screen this year.Each new series showcases fashion and interiors from the 1960s, treating viewers to an array of bold colors, geometric shapes, and spaces as open as the era’s style of thinking. Interior decoration and elements make a radical departure from the formality and conformity of the 1950s.
OUT OF AFRICA
The various cultures of the world are often an inspiration when it comes to interior design. Perhaps you want to incorporate a certain culture’s style as a nod to your family ancestry. Maybe you fell in love with the colors and textures of a special place on a recent vacation and want to recreate the experience in your own way. Whatever the reason, there are many ways to introduce culture-based design into your living and work spaces in a modern and timeless way. In this blog, we’re going to look to the beautiful African landscape for style inspiration.Color
