Well I was going to skip this post but then I received an email from one of my readers letting me know that the little I had posted from my High Point trip was NOT ENOUGH :) I had also come to the conclusion that a few of my blogger friends had already done such great recaps, like Traci Zeller with her comprehensive posts, here, here and here.
Really. I mean I just can’t add anything else new that Traci hasn’t already said. The above pillow collection was definitely the theme (I photographed it because I loved the little ruffle on this one). Burlap and linen and one showroom after another filled with gray, limed furniture.
Seriously, they all needed a hit of colour (like this piece of art) or an accessory from this shop (can’t remember what it was) look at that fabulous colour on the back of the shelves!
The colour pendulum has to swing back and forth every 10 years because we get tired of looking at the same colours (trend or no trends). We’ve had dark cabinets, now it's the opposite-- white ones (although these days everyone is adding a hint of blue or green to their white cabinets). We’ve been looking at earth tones for 15 years, time to go to fresh and bright (above photo). And gray, black and white is the best combination with bright and clean accents! So there’s my take in one little paragraph! Plus I'm in Portland next weekend for the Colour Marketing Group fall Conference so this won't be my last post on trends that's for sure!
If you are building or renovating your kitchen or bathroom right now, it probably looks something like these two photos (below).
Carrerra Marble. It’s flying out of the stores these days!

I’m still writing one more little review from my trip but it’s a critique of Clean and Dirty colours from two restaurants I saw when I was there and more suited to Halloween night so stay tuned! I’m thinking of headlining it Heaven vs. Hell or something like that, hahaha, not that bad but close!
