Back From High Point! What Did We Find?

Well we're back at last and unfortunately our goal of daily postings about all the wonderful things we found didn't go quite as planned. A major storm (aka a small tornado) rolled through the High Point/Greensboro area late Monday/early Tuesday and left us literally "powerless" to post.

Our hotel lost power overnight and waking up to an alarm in the dark and fumbling around a hotel room trying to figure out exactly what was where was a new experience for all of us. Fortunately we were able to laugh through it all (after many Bates Motel jokes) and after cold showers, we somehow managed to get out that morning and have another productive day at the market. There was still no power when we got back to the hotel that night so we made a late night switch to another hotel, but no power meant no blogging. I just uploaded our pictures though and promise to make good on sharing all of our great finds over the next few days! Here's a little sneak preview:

The wonderful Sunbrella fabric palette we choose for our new Joe Ruggiero upholstery collection (more on that tomorrow!) Fabulous merchandising at the Currey & Company showroom (featuring one of our in stock mirrors x 9)!

And We're Off! First Day at High Point . . .

Going to market is always a little like a race to the finish line. I sometimes feel like we're on the Amazing Race (minus the crazy obstacles and challenges) because we always there for such a short time and have so much to see. People often comment that it must be so fun to get to shop for work and yes, that part is very fun, but we usually start our day when the market opens at 8:00am and end when the market closes at 8:00pm. In between we rush around the maze of buildings, hallways and hundreds of people, going down our list of showrooms and lines we want to see and hoping we are able to fit them all in.

The clock is always ticking while we're here, so it was fitting that one of the collections that caught our eye yesterday were these great new clocks. We've carried clocks since we opened the store but the materials and textures of these are fresh and a terrific new look. Here are a few of the ones we ordered and we look forward to their arrival in our store soon!

36" Harrington Clock $265

30" Southampton Clock (this is a heavy one!) $225

40" Elliston Clock $425

Fall Sale Scheduled! 9/19-30

We've scheduled our Fall Sale from Friday 9/19 through 9/30. Many floor models are marked down including armoires, media centers, cabinets and more. We've also marked down a large number of accessories including wall art, chandeliers, lamps, etc.

We'll be heading to the High Point furniture market in October so we're making room now so that we can bring in fresh, new merchandise!

We've had a great response already from customers coming in to see what we have so that they are ready to visit the stores when the sale starts on the 19th!

The sale will be at both the Brambleton & Fairfax locations so there will be plenty to choose from. We hope to see you!!
