These last few days have been spent surrounded by green trees, beautiful furniture and friends: old and new. When Lowe’s asked me to attend High Point, I jumped at the chance to scour thousands of pieces of decor with their team and some blog friends (Emily, Beth + Summer). Trend hunting is something I used to do at clothing markets, and combing through loads of furniture and accessories felt even more invigorating.
Colorful sofas caught my attention quite often.
And art was big, bold, and abstract with simple frames or none at all.
I think smoked glass is going to make a resurgence, and this colored mirror stopped me in my tracks.
Other than trends, these were some pieces I just really liked.
Black and white will never get old.
Graphics have been overdone, but this pattern felt fresh.
This paper was as beautiful in person as it is all over the internet.
Mary McDonald hit my inspiration for our backyard on the head. It’s only missing a line of Italian cypresses.

Hi!
Any chance you remember the showroom where you saw the brass tulip table? I am trying to source it for a client and can't find it anywhere! Thank you
PS- love you blog!

I wish I could be more helpful, but I don't remember the place. But I do know it was a one of a kind and sold, so I don't know that they would be much help. Isn't it beautiful?!
