It is so exciting to post our first blog from the High Point, NC furniture market, so here I go. We left Atlanta at 7:30 Thursday morning and made the 5 hour trip to High Point; not before making our regular stop at the Waffle House in Commerce, GA. We received the best customer service from “Nana” You must understand that we can be a pretty high maintenance group even for the Waffle House. Stephanie (casegoods buyer) received all 8 of her Apple Butters for her 1 pancake (yes I said 8). Randy(operations manager) had his 2 Splendas and 2 Sweet-n-Lows for his iced tea; you can just imagine how the rest of the Waffle House adventure went.
The colors shown at this market are definitely exciting and different. We saw a lot of purple, grey/silver, lighter blues and cornflower yellow. Beige is still all over the place and being shown with wild floral prints. Stripes and paisleys are everywhere! Beautiful combinations of color and print set the stage.
The color trends in leather sounded a lot like a delectable menu at an exotic restaurant. Browns were referred to as hazelnut, mocha, caramel and dark chocolate – it made me hungry just hearing the colors. If you are feeling more adventurous, the colors get wild – but still appetizing in warm spa blues, hot and vibrant orange and wasabi green. A veritable feast for the eyes! Stay tuned to Castleberry’s to know when the new colors begin arriving. If you can’t wait, come by – we’re glad to see you anytime!
