Trends: Let it Shine! Let it Shine! Let it Shine!

In my previous post, I told you at the market there was a lot of metallic to be found. As a matter of fact, I attended a standing room only seminar taught by Michelle Lamb and she proclaimed that metallics are the new neutrals. Gold, pewter, platinum and copper were all included in her Razzle Dazzle Metallics Segment. We saw beautiful sofas with gold threads running through the fabric, lots of furniture with a metallic finish - like this small occasional table from Bailey Street and of course I just fell in love with these beautiful modern silver vases.

Home again, home again, market is done!

The Las Vegas Market was terrific! Here is a shot of Hot Rod on stage in celebration of the opening of Building C. Seeing him with all of his glitz (he wore a silver jacket and gold shoes!) was a foreshadowing of what we were to see in the showrooms - as shimmering metallics were everywhere! The concert was in a tent like structure – thankfully air conditioned because it was 107 degrees outside! The tent was huge- at least the size of a football field and there were sofas and tables set up for lounging near the entrance. They offered a sack dinner and bars were set up everywhere you looked for a little liquid refreshment. It doesn’t get much better than this- a great Rod Stewart concert, dinner and drinks! - Thanks Las Vegas Market and Serta!
