Top 3 Interior Design Trends Spotted at High Point Market, Fall 2018

Annie Elliott | October 15, 2018

“Have a good market!” That’s what the drivers say when you step off the shuttle buses at High Point Market. What I love is that they really mean it. Everyone at High Point wants you to “have a good market.” The drivers, your fellow designers, the caterers plying you with bubbly water (and bloody Marys), and …

Annie Elliott | February 26, 2018

Georgie and Ruthie are now 13, and they’ll be starting high school in the fall. Because they’re beginning a NEW, REALLY IMPORTANT phase of life, the girls have announced that they need (not want, mind you — need) “new rooms.” Didn’t we just do this?
