The antiques dealer whom I met when I spied this beauty- already had a story about her. "Millicent" uncovered in VIrginia sauntered into a cocktail party and realized that another woman was wearing the same dress.."who cares, I am wearing it better!" Who knows- it might even have really happened in 1960 when this beauty was painted onto its black velvet canvas. Black velvet canvas IS true ;) She is hanging out at #HPAntiques + Design Center Booth M52 w/Chalahc Designs #hpmkt @hpmarketnews #moder
The "Avalon" 2-Piece Curved Sectional- be still my 💙 ! A vision in blue and white ikat fabric, from #Design Legacy is just what I have been looking for as a unique seating arrangement in a client kitchen or even a dining room. How happy does this make YOU feel??? Designed by Nancy Price + located in Suite 1F of the C building- go see and "get happy." #hpmkt @hpmarketnews #IMChighpointmkt #modernique @Material Girls
This season at #hpmkt has definitely gone green! I even heard reference to "50 shades of green" being an important trend- as opposed to grey- but you already knew what I meant :) Add to this "Vernini" Sectional by Luna Bella (hailing from Miami) the most sumptuous green velvet and you have an award winner. The trim in an opposing gold velvet+ silk fabric seals the deal. This idea that trims can be different, unusual and show stoppers in themselves is another @hpmarketnews news flash. Come "spot" for yourself at IH 602! #modernique
CRLAINE Home
Ooh-la-la! I would like to introduce you to "Moo-la-la the savvy + modern wing chair that I fell for hard at CR Laine today. The frame is fabu but the fabric is Eco-chic. Faux, faux, faux is the way to go here with the "vegan" fabric that is completely animal friendly. On the outside looking in it seems like a hide but after closer inspection and Holly's blessing I learned that it was a perfect imposter. See for yourself- its totally PC at 310 N Hamilton Floor 2. #hpmkt #hpmarketnews #modernique
Currey & Co has been my go-to for lighting for ages. I still adore the pieces that were originally hung in my Showroom/Offices a few years ago. So it should come as no surprise that one of their latest case pieces - the "Garbo Settee" continues this Love Fest @Curreyco can be found surrounded by BI+D love at IHFC Suite #M110 #hpmkt @hpmarketnews #modernique Muah! @Material Girls
HALO STYLES ROCKS! Think antique, think retro, think right up my alley. This "Kitchenalia" chandelier melds a classic antique French crystal chandelier with whimsical antique kitchen utensils + pewter mugs. Form + function combined! #hptmkt #modernique @hpmarketnews Head to 212 Wrenn Street for an incredible design experience! @Material Girls
Loloi Rugs
This carpet literally almost leapt out at me while in the Loloi Showroom! The "Madeline" is full of the most energetic + vibrant colors- talk about a "wow" factor in any environment! Reminds me of one of my daughters with same name ❤ Also, something I learned while at the showroom- for every new pinterest follower until Friday, @LoloiRugs will donate one dollar to the Susan G. Komen foundation. Awesome! IHFC Suite #D320 @HPmarketnews @IMCHighpointmkt @highpointmarket #hpmkt #modernique
Luxury Furniture | Bernhardt
What a fabulous dinner party conversation starter! Just think of the fun you could have with these chalkboard backed "Percy"(square back) and "Louis" (round back) Bernhardt chairs at your next bash. Available in tons of choices using COM. I couldn't help it but to tout our Style Spotting :) @bernhardtinc @hpmarketnews #hpmkt #modernique @IMCHighPointMkt @highpointmarket IHFC Suite 601@Material Girls
Jewel tones reign throughout #hpmkt this season. I am in heaven! @Bungalow5 there is a mirror that embraces this theme- colorful glass in amethyst, blue and amber make up their Sunburst Wall Mirror. Mirror mirror on the wall- it's the fairest of them all! @hpmarketnews #modernique IHFC Suite IH-400 @Material Girls
The "Paulina Side-By-Side" @MrBrownLondon is such a unique piece. Actually a pair of chairs that fit together perfectly to create this stunner. It is priced as a piece- but the originality of the divided center makes it über special. The bubble carved legs in light wood are feminine + sassy. Add to that that my assistant, Paulina, who is traveling with me wanted it badly- before she even saw the name! Magical. IHFC Interhall #102. #hpmkt @hpmarketnews #modernique @Material Girls
Like marble? Like carved marble? Well, your perfect coffee table has been found! The "Marble Fret Cocktail Table" @Globalviews is one hunky chunk. Although it is made all of marble, in white it feels light and happy. The "Fret" is perfectly comfortable within traditional, classic and elegant settings as well as the centerpiece of a modern loft.

Home - Julian Chichester UK
Recycle and repurpose- that's a big deal within my design business- so imagine my excitement upon finding exquisite COLORFUL glass sculptures at Julian Chichester! On a bookshelf, centerpiece of a cocktail table arranged with other antique + modern artifacts- perfection. Will look smashing on my #diffa #dbd #Chicago #romo dining table!

Elevating Ordinary through Extraordinary Design | Caracole | Caracole
Helloooo Caracole!! Your "The Tastemaker" table was calling my name from the minute I stepped into the showroom. The exquisite "Wedding Dress White" finish with shagreen trim and curvy legs capped in silver would be divine in many spaces- regardless of style. Removing the center leaf would create the perfect "small spaces" table. @caracolehome @hpmarketnews #hpmkt #modernique @Material Girls
Crazy about the stunning bar cabinet @arteriorshome with its "Best Seller" Status. In all of its Chelsey Gray Limed Finish- I confess that I am a sucker for gray finishes- with bifold doors linen wrapped doors, mirrored back and all lit up with recessed cans. Perfect for any and all parties- it is a party in itself! IHFC Suite 320 #hpmkt @hpmarketnews #modernique @Material Girls
