Ann's Corner

Dear Friends,

Wow! We just returned from yet another energizing trip to the Spring Furniture Market in North Carolina and are so excited to share all of the amazing new style, color, fabric and wallpaper trends with you!

Colors ran through a vast range of greens, vibrant and soft blues, red, blush, and of course, the warm neutrals including black, chocolate and that wonderful toasty caramel.

Metallic features were incredibly featured, whether as a table top, inlay or overlay with wood, or chiseled to form a beautiful artisanal design. Glass was a show stopper crafted as thick fusion design, painted, or simply a beautiful color on doors.

Stunning and exotic wood, including mahogany, birds eye maple, elm, cherry and always that handsome oak were displayed in a variety of techniques including live edge, burl, and bookmatch veneer. Many of those as tables and cabinets were crowned with a beautiful stone top!

Cane and many other natural woven materials were a perfect complement whether on a bed, drawer front, or table top. There is no limit to the creativity of such skilled craftsmen in our industry!

Boucle, velvet corduroy, chunky tweeds, linen, and cotton appeared in solid colors or beautiful floral and geometric patterns. Exotic leather in designer colors and also custom painted create an unexpected touch to any room.

This is just a brief overview of visiting over 30 showrooms in our whirlwind tour and hopefully has whet your appetite for a new and refreshed interior design! Call Diane, Cynthia, Heidi or myself and schedule an appointment for your new design of your dreams!

Have a great day!

- Ann
