Home De-gorgeousness + #YOLOmondays Link-Up!

So, my father-in-law works for Century Furniture and for the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of getting to go spend the day in High Point, NC for Furniture Market. Now, if you don’t know what Furniture Market is, basically Market is when literally THOUSANDS of people descend upon the small town of High Point, NC to check out what all the furniture and home design companies are releasing for that season. It’s almost like Fashion Week, but for home decor and design.

You can check out my recap post from last year here.

Even though I only got to check out the Century Furniture, Highland House, and Capel showrooms, there is still PLENTY of fabulousness to go around.

Sure, 99% of this I could never actually own, but it’s SO fun to get design inspiration and put together a dream home in your mind. Right?

Ahhhh get ready for some home de-gorgeouness, as I like to call it. Or would it be decor-geousness? Either way, you get my point. Home Decor Inspiration - Century Furniture - High Point Furniture Market 2013 - North Carolina

Weekly Round Up 4/28

Friday High Fives!

4 Replies

You guys, remember how I told you I was gonna blog twice on Fridays? Well, this is me blogging twice on Fridays. WHAT?! I know.

Well, a lot of bloggers I follow do “High Five For Friday” posts. I decided to call my similar version of “High Five for Friday” just “Friday High Fives” to celebrate awesome stuff that happened during the week and or high five for things that are GOING to happen this weekend.

I dunno, I thought it would be fun.

[I’m linking up with Lauren at From My Grey Desk

Anywho. This week’s HIGH FIVES:

I love these Instagrams I took at Furniture Market last weekend. I thought the Instagrams didn’t fit in the actual Market post, but thought they were fun, so I figured including them here would elicit at least ONE high-five.

HIGH FIVE FOR MARKET!

MY DAVE MATTHEWS TICKET CAME IN THE MAIL! Gah. I can’t wait for May 23rd!!!!!!

HIGH FIVE FOR DAVE!

Remember when JIMMY FALLON, BARACK OBAMA, and DAVE MATTHEWS came to UNC on Tuesday and did a show from Memorial Hall and it aired on TV complete with Jimmy saying “Duke Sucks” and wearing a CAROLINA sweatshirt? Yeah, me too. #GoHeels #GoAmerica

HIGH FIVE FOR FALLON!

Remember when WRAL REALLY paid attention and pulled this little talking point from Obama’s speech?

HIGH FIVE FOR CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!

You guys may not know this, but I love graffiti. Like, I LOVE graffiti. I think it’s beautiful. Now, there’s some UGLY graffiti, but I love graffiti. I love the art and self-expression of it and I think it gives personality to things like ugly doors. I’m just saying. I know it’s weird. But I do love it.

HIGH FIVE FOR THIS CRAY CRAY GRAFFITI IN CHAPEL HILL ALLEYWAYS!

Remember when I brought AN english muffin, AN egg, A jalapeno, and A slice of cheese to work to make this diddy for lunch? Me too!

HIGH FIVE FOR BEING OUT OF LUNCH MONEY AND WORKING WITH WHAT YOU GOT!

High fives all around! What are you high-fiving today? Do you do a high-five post on Fridays? Share your link in the comments!

Do you like this idea for these Friday posts? Feedback on this post? I’d love to hear what you think!

xoxo, all for now.

Home Decor Fabulousness at High Point Furniture Market 2012

8 Replies

You guys, before this past Saturday, I had never been to High Point Furniture Market.

My father-in-law has worked in international sales for Century Furniture for almost 25 years. So, the FIL got hubs and I passes and since High Point is only about an hour or so drive from Chapel Hill, we decided to make a day of it. (I even got to spend time with my sister and the nephew later that day! SCORE!)

Well, even though we only saw the Century and Highland House (Highland House is also owned by Century) showrooms, I was in home decor heaven. Seriously. Oh, and the number of QUATREFOILS was insane. It was like they were taunting me with all their beautiful quatrefoils. SERIOUSLY. AHHH. SO MANY QUATS.

Now, of course 99% of it I could never afford, but hey, a girl can dream.

I also took a TON of pictures. Like, 726 to be exact. I have narrowed them down for you to my FAVORITE rooms. If you are REALLY curious to see other rooms, you can let me know and I’ll post more.

Now, I am not a professional photographer and these were all taken on my cell phone and Nikon point & shoot… so don’t judge.

Also, since I know you’re probably just DYING to know, here’s what I wore on Saturday:

(nothing fancy, I know, but we were doing a TON of walking around so I wanted to make sure I was comfortable)

Here’s my Polyvore inspiration board:

Green, Leopard, Yellow by mollystillman featuring beaded necklaces

NOW, on to the Home Decor HEAVEN!!

Look at this GORGEOUS quat chair:

LOVE this quat rug:

Just a quick shot of me being a total creeper in a fancy place. #WhyICan’tHaveNiceThings

Oh, so there was this time that I saw this random framed photo of CAMERON DIAZ at Furniture Market. WHAT?

I think you can gauge how fancy someone is by how large the magnifying glass on their coffee table is.

I honestly want to know what this is.

This photo doesn’t do the colors in this gorgeous room justice.

This teal and yellow room reminded me of Katelyn James haha!

This is the section of rooms designed by artist Bob Timberlake. We got to meet him, too! (he was SO NICE). I love the rustic look of his rooms.

I love this place setting idea for the fall or Thanksgiving. Heck, even Christmas.

I don’t know why I’m seduced by old books all the time, but I am.

Again, with the giant magnifying glasses.

I love this one.

So this picture just makes me mad – because hubs and I brought home a real piece of reef EXACTLY LIKE THIS from Mexico from our Honeymoon – and we were gonna use it as decor… until our dog TATER ATE IT. Tater ate the reef. Ugh.

MORE QUAT CHAIRS!

I want a display ladder like this so badly. I bet you I can make one…

Also not sure why but I love this, too.

Then there was this one time I walked into a room and found THIS GIANT QUAT MIRROR. Ahhhhh love.

Room with the giant QUAT mirror.

Love old doors like I love old books.

Some of the “outdoor” or “patio” decor / furniture

I love love love this coffee table. OH MY GOSH. This picture doesn’t do the gorgeousness of it justice.

This, Ladies and Gents, is an OSCAR DE LA RENTA designed room. He has a whole collection for Century. #SWOON

More Oscar de la Renta…

This was probably my favorite room in the WHOLE PLACE. Oh my gosh. It’s OSCAR DE LA RENTA. It has a quat mirror. GORGEOUS walls. GORGEOUS bedding. I love it all.
