New Chairs Take a Front Seat at Market

Sleek new chairs take a “front seat” at the High Point Furniture Market!

The variety and details were abundant and made each one stand out!  What a great way to add style a room.  Here are some of my favorites.

Eye-catching Mirrors Spotted At The Market

A fabulous mirror always brightens a room! Mirrors enhance rooms by reflecting light and by creating an illusion of a larger space. A “looking glass” can be a lovely decorative accent and often gives depth seemingly – carrying a wall on and on (perspective).

The use of a gorgeous mirror over a sideboard in a dining room, over a chest in a living room or master bedroom, or over a console table in a hall can be a perfect addition in making a room feel complete. Of course, the style of the mirror is very important in the concept of the design of the room.

We love this wonderful starburst mirror over a console table.
