it's all about the hospitable home
I took a little break ….
So I will let you know what I’ve been up to and revealing a little secret.
What have I been up to? …. I traveled to California with my hubby.
He had a conference there and we decided to take a few extra days
to enjoy the beautiful Southern California Coast.
Our balcony view at the Monarch Beach Resort. Not too shabby!
Eloquence has to be one of my very favorite furniture lines.
Yes, there is a lot of white; however, used in small doses or large,
the furniture gives you a sense of calm and elegance.
Every chair and sofa that I sat on was comfortable. Definitely beauty, function and comfort.
I want to start off this post with one of my favorite things that I saw in the Eloquence showroom.
Dr. Suess was a wise man!
Eloquence has to be one of my favorite showrooms at the High Point Market.
Their Fall showroom/collection is exquisite . . .
~ ~ the name of “Eloquence” says it all.
If I had my choice and I would empty my bedroom . . . and replace all the furnishings . . .
~ ~ with these exquisite pieces.
So follow along and you will see what I mean!!
At the last minute….I attended the High Point 2013 Fall Market…
…..with Kristen of Sophia’s Decor and her talented mom, Linda.
We did lots of walking and gawking in the one day we were there.
We ran into the lovely Courtney (French Country Cottage)…and due lots of miscommunications, etc.
…..we did not get to actually hook up…next time!
Today, I am presenting some great inspiration from one of the companies…
….. that Kristen and I love…Eloquence.
The antique and reproduction furniture is magnificent!
I love the styling of this cabinet…lots of demijohns and de-constructed books..
Really like how they layered the bread boards as a back drop…
Great textures….
And that gorgeous architectural piece on the wall took my breath away!…
Wanted to take that beauty home!!
So it definitely looks as though…wonderful painted antique and reproduction furniture…
…..rooms decorated with olive bucket decor, demijohns, and deconstructed books…are here to stay.
…………..glorious antiques and vintage furniture mixed with quality reproductions.
And one of the highlights of the day…was attending a session with Candace Olsen.
She spoke about design, her show…happenings “behind the scenes”, some personal tidbits…
…..and her gorgeous new line of Surya area rugs…
What a beautiful, talented and very funny lady!!
Stay tuned for more from Highpoint…
Have a beautiful day!!
