The first part of the year is always bustling with markets and shows in the home decor and interior design industry. This Sunday starts Las Vegas Market. It happens twice a year, once in January and once in July. It is a market filled with some of the most glorious looks in home decor and interior design. The best part, if you can’t make the show you can get a peek of some of the design online.

Follow the hashtag #LVMkt and #DesignOnLVMkt to see what designers and innovators are presenting this season. I have been following along for over six years and it never disappoints. I have discovered so much along the way I created another corner of the web at seeitatmarket.com. There I collect everything I see online at markets and trades shows as it relates to home decor, interior design, fashion, apparel and their wholesalers, distributors and retailers.

Market starts Sunday, January 27th and goes through Thursday, January 31st.

Kitchen & Bath Design Inspiration

I had the pleasure of joining the Kitchen and Bath Tribe Chat hosted by Marble Institute the other day. The topic; Designing with Natural Materials. These chats are fun, but also very educational and informative for remodeling and home design. For example a maintenance tip when using natural stone; avoid the 3 As – acid, ammonia and alcohol. I would have never known these three are not good for natural stone.

Another tip is what’s trending! A popular choice these days is a full slab of natural stone for a backsplash instead of tile. Gorgeous and smart, because a solid piece for a backsplash is a lot easier to clean than tile. Am I right or am I right?! Look at this seamless look from Discover Marble – I am in love.

More ideas include American Stonecraft transforming reclaimed fieldstone into a line of slabs for serving, cooking and tabletop accessories. Brilliant and functional!

Then there was this by Brasigran. It’s called Blue Agata – mesmerizing and I would sleep in this kitchen. Seriously, come on… Why must you torture me like this?

There is so much more to see and learn in these chats. Scrolling through the hashtag #KBTribeChat is like looking through a catalog, but with tips and tricks of the best and what’s best for you. Go on – See for yourself!

High Point Market Preview ~ #2

High Point Market is coming and if you are an interior designer or love home decor and furnishings then you know what that means! It’s 5 days of thousands and thousands of square feet featuring new designs and ideas for the furnishing industry.

A few weeks ago there was a product preview of some of the items coming to spring market. Sometimes a few of them jump out at me and I can’t help but gaze lovingly while imagining the piece somewhere in my home. The following were two of my favorites from the preview –

This coffee table by Bennett Galleries is the epitome of pure craftsmanship and talent.  2017 HPM Spring

The simplicity of this table with drawers combined with the hand inlay design accents in walnut, chestnut, ash and ebonized wood make this a winner. When function and style come together, that is a favorite for this gal!

Here is another piece I cannot stop staring at – a credenza by John Richard.

2017-1 HPM Spring

The texture on this piece is mesmerizing. I love the contemporary feel of the sleek black lines mixed with the gold hardware giving it a somewhat retro feel. I wonder what it would look like with silver?

One day maybe I’ll have the opportunity to attend High Point Market, but for now I am looking forward to seeing the social media feeds light up with the ingenuity and beauty of new and awesome designs!
