High Point Style Spotter: Keeping it Neutral


Day 2 of my Style Spotter pins from High Point Market. Today's picks are all about the neutrals and the timeless pieces that every design scheme needs.

Making sure to mix these in with the Colorful Picks from yesterday's post is how I try and design every client's home.

High Point Style Spotter: Splash of Color

High Point Spring Market has come and gone, but let me tell you... it will not be easily forgotten!

As an official Style Spotter for this Market, I was given the task of walking the 10,000,000 square feet of showroom space to find a maximum of 25 - yes, only 25! - pieces that stood out from the rest.
I have to say I wore out a few pair of shoes, giving it my very best effort.














Today and tomorrow, I will share with you my finds, beginning with the few that struck me as a fantastic way to introduce a Splash of Color into our homes this year!
