Roaming High Point, NC

I’ve still got lots more to share about High Point and am still trying to catch up with all my travel recently. It’s all fun stuff, but boy, is it tiring to travel around. Not complaining though, I’m so fortunate to be able to do the things I do.

We stopped in several showrooms along the way while in High Point and found out about a party at the Stanley showroom the first night, so hit that as well.  It was fun being considered Press, they let us in everything.

Stanley party

A beautiful showroom, Stanley has some gorgeousness going on.

215

So we strolled around there an hour or so, then left for dinner.

216

This showroom has some wonderful pieces and it was fun to see all the new things available.  I don’t often shop for new furniture these days.

217

219

They had a live band playing some grooving tunes, so that was fun too.

222

223

225

We all loved this large wall of open shelving.

227

The bird prints were fun too.

Somerset Bay

The next day, we stopped by Somerset Bay, a beautiful furniture shop with coastal feeling painted pieces for the most part.  They even fed us lunch, another bonus.  Lots of food and drinks are flowing at the High Point market.

271

We absolutely loved all the painted furniture pieces. Makes you wonder if furniture companies take notes from bloggers on painting their pieces.  Hummm, something to ponder.

272

273

274

Loved all the colors and styles they were offering.

275

276

279

280

281

Some of these look like they could have been rescued and repainted from a thriftstore, but they are all brand new pieces.

282

283

Just shows that blogs are right on trend with the furniture painting that is so the craze now.

284

They even had a room of antiques and vintage pieces and this is how furniture companies get their inspiration, from the old stuff.  No surprise there!  There’s nothing new under the sun, as the old saying goes.

292

Loved this piece, my fave color of course!

293

306

We strolled more and found Bobo’s Intriguing Objects, a really cool store that I had visited at the Atlanta Market.  In High Point for the market, they had 4 floors of awesomeness.  It was a vintage, European treasure trove, although they do offer new pieces too.  Not sure how they manage to reproduce these things and make them look old.

307

308

The fixtures and pieces in here are so massively scaled, you’d have to have a giant space to make them work.

310

 

311

 

316

They have the most unique lighting I’ve ever seen.

315

313

314

317

319

325

330

And that is Bobo’s!! Wasn’t that fun to see?

GOlden oldies

Next we hit Golden Oldies another fun place with lots of vintage goodness.

333

I was fascinated by these old metal chairs and tables out front and was told they came from wedding facility companies.  They must be old, but the colors are so pretty. I can see these outside in a garden area.

Michael

Who did we spot out walking around, but Michael, Paula Deen’s hubby.  They had a trailer there, filling it with finds.  I didn’t want to interrupt him at first.

337

We walked in and saw all of this.  Fun stuff!

338

So many things to look at and touch.

339

We all got fascinated by the seltzer bottles, when we found out they were $18 each.  Much cheaper than any I’ve ever seen out antiquing before, so I had to get one.

342

This one came home with me!

Rhoda and Michael

And then, Michael walked right in the door where we were standing and I had to ask if he would mind taking a pic with us.  I got a friend to snap my pic and he was very nice and accommodating to these fans of Paula Deen.

It sure was fun!  You never know who you’re going to run into at any given time. Hope you enjoyed the tour of High Point market. It was exhausting, but very fun!  If you get the chance to check it out, I would definitely recommend it.

I’ve got lots more to share from the conference I went to at Jekyll Island last week too!

I’m headed out on Monday for another fun trip! I was invited down to New Orleans for a seafood blogger event and since my sweet niece, Lauren, lives right near the French Quarter where I’ll be staying, I couldn’t pass that up.  Oh, and all the yummy food we are going to eat, couldn’t pass that up either.  

Life is really really good right now.  From 2 years ago, to where I am at the moment, I can hardly believe the difference time can make (and the grace of God).  Oh, and just an FYI, I’m dating again.  Just started getting out there a couple of months ago and I’m really having fun all over again with that too.  I’ve been seeing one guy in particular, but that’s all I’m going to share right now.  🙂

    Sort of chicken and the egg…did bloggers inspires furniture manufacturers or did furn manu inspire bloggers? Either way, there are some beautiful pieces out there!
