Highpoint Market Day 2

Day 2 at Highpoint Market always starts with Inner Hall and the Big Building. 

I loved the pieces at Woodland

They are even building kitchen cabinets and the finishes are fabulous! 

This metal fireplace wall from Robert James was stunning. I already have a design in mind for this. 

Glass globe lights from Sklo

Indoor/outdoor pillows from Ross Dransfield. Do you see the fringe? Gorg! 

Beautiful wall art from Palecek

Acrylic and brass bar stools from Gabby

This white glass table from Gabby. It comes in black and clear glass too. 

Chain rugs in a hide pattern by Mansour Modern

I saw a lot of good ready made drapery panels. Great linens and embroidery

Beautiful linens and bedding as usual - loved the pleating detail on these pillows. 

Chip and Joanna Gaines from the show Fixer Upper were debuting their new furniture line Magnolia Home. We met Chip but missed Joanna. ( picture on our instagram feed ) He was quite handsome! 

No pictures were allowed of their furniture but congrats on a job well done! 

This day ended with cocktail parties at Hickory Chair, Kravet and Gabby Home. Then off to dinner with the Adorno Magazine crew. 

Stay tuned for our final market day! 

Spring Highpoint Furniture Market Day 1

Highpoint Furniture Market is always a whirlwind of parties, friends and an overload of furniture, accessories and art but boy is it fun!

( If you follow my Instagram account "bridgetbeari" you saw my top trends for the up coming season. )

      Here are my top finds from Day 1 - Fall Market 2015.

We have learned a few new tricks after years of attending the market. Our newest one is coming in on Friday morning. Shops are open and all the good deals happen on Friday.

First stop is always Verellen and Textures Imports: Leah treated us to a fabulous lunch and wine! Thanks Verellen! We love the new addition  - Oliver the mastiff/ rottweiller. He needs a Bridget Beari Color named after him.

Here is there marilyn sofa - which we are doing a 10ft. one for our ATL job  - GORG!

Love these cube ottomans. The stitching details are perfection! 

That beautiful Belgian linen slipcover look

The double flange detail - Love! 

Did I mention they are making outdoor furniture now!!

They also had art from Belgium - we sold 4 paintings! Gorg! 

We placed our orders and even a few for ourselves! 

Next door is Texture Imports - we loaded down the Range Rover with Buddha's, tables, and votives. 

Beautiful turtles for Mexico

Off to the Visual Comfort party only to find that Kelly was sick - So sad! Her new products were killer. 

Loved the black textured sconces

Aerin Lauder had some beautiful pendants with stunning gold insides. Thomas O'Brien was even lurking around a corner in his area. 

Next into Spicher and Company - the art reminded me of Kit Kemp, the London designer

The floorcloths were awesome! 

Off to the Antique and Design Center with so much to see - Turkish pots, tea towels, blankets, throws, garden urns. This is my favorite place at market…..

We caught up with my friend MDD - Mary Douglas Drysdale and had dinner at Theodore Alexander. A nice sit down break. 

Then off to the Baker party….

It was the Hollywood catwalk with pictures and celebrity guests. What a ball! 

We ended the evening with cocktails at the Proximity Hotel and who arrived but Jeff Lewis, Gage, Jenny and gang! What a treat and that's just day 1. Wait for tomorrow's day 2 at Market!
