To Market, To Market!

High Point Market, interior design, decor, furniture

Happy Thursday, friends! I am sitting at Starbucks right now, car loaded to the brim, ready to pick Will up from school to make my way to High Point for… The High Point Furniture Market!! Most of you know that I also have an interior design blog, Design Chic, so to say that I’m a little obsessed with interiors isn’t an overstatement. Ten million square feet of home decor and 85,000 attendees. High Point Market is sort of mecca for anyone who loves design. 

This love of of interior decor is one of the reasons I enjoyed Beth Hoffman’s novel Looking for Me so much. Teddi, the main character, not only has a love affair with all things furniture, she also has an incredible talent for repairing, refinishing and taking what would look to anyone else like trash in a ditch and making into the focal point of a room. 

I adore a good antique, so to go on Teddi’s journey with her through the ranks of the antique world was endlessly entertaining for me. To watch Teddi go from a ten-year-old who redoes a piece she bought for a dollar and sells it to a dealer for $100 to a bit of an antique celebrity in Charleston, SC — a place that really knows its antiques — was just an icing-on-the-cake plot line in this fabulous novel. 

Khaki, one of the main characters in Dear Carolina, is an interior designer who also owns an antique store, so I couldn’t help but think she and Teddi would be good, good friends. That’s probably one of the reasons I love Beth Hoffman so much! 

If you’re looking for a good read this weekend, check out Looking for Me. I think I’ll be too busy looking for the next design trends to do much reading! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

    I think I used an exclamation mark on every sentence!

    • Please come next time! And then we can meet in person 🙂 It’s totally overwhelming the first time, but once you get used to it it’s so fun!

    • YOUR energy amazes ME, Patty! Let me know if you need anything. I’ll be your personal shopper 😉

  • Kristy,
    I’m jealous, I’ve never been to High Point and have heard and read wonderful things about it. I guess it would be like a kid in a candy store for the designer or enthusiast in most of us. 🙂
    The book sounds fun. I love novels that include detailed descriptions of rooms, antiques, food, etc. It makes me feel like I’m with the character.
    Enjoy your weekend at High Point.
    xo,
    Karen

    • Thanks, Karen! I wish you would come some time! It’s crazy and overwhelming and fun all rolled into one. Definitely a kid in a candy store experience!
