What's New at Market 2013

I always enjoy going to market. This year at the Atlanta AmericasMart there seemed to be a buzz in the air. Hopefully that translates into a good year for all of us!

I am always asked :What's new?". "What are the new trends and colors?"  There was a lot of new - maybe not something for everyone but new things to see. There was more color - yes,there was still a lot of linen on sofas and chairs but not as much as last year and yes still some burlap (see last years blog!) -but color was everywhere - Teal - in all shades seemed to be the biggest hit, as well as pinks and apple greens. Here are some of my fines and "what's new" at market 2013 -

 Check out these cool letter books - love them!
You can spell out words or just have a single initial on a shelf. Let me know if you'd like some - they have to be ordered in bulk and I really want them but need to have some sales before I make it happen :-)










Bigger is better - right??? Well, I saw a lot of very tall backs on love seats and chairs in many styles.  The love seat on the left from French Heritage at the smaller size of 40" back to the 6 foot tall chairs from Pasha Home on the right.


Love this hanging lamp - Not to mention it's super looks -but I love  the idea of extra light over head with out having to call in an electrician. This one is by Aidan Gray.There were lots of great looking "drum" shades, some were super big.




























And last but not least - Woolie felt everything! Loved all the beautiful garlands and Christmas ornaments- these by Midwest. There were hats and mittens and more! But check out these adorable bird houses from Wild Woolies by DZI - they are made from natural water resistant wool - fun for the birds and a touch of color in the back yard.

Over all - it was just a fun trip. Here's to a new year and hopefully great sales and beautiful homes!
