Black and White Trend 2016

Kelly and I survived anotherHigh Point Market, you know this......

180 Buildings 11.5 Million Square Feet of Showspace 75,000 Attendees Each Market More Than 2000 Exhibitors 100+ Countries Represented Tens of Thousands of New Product Introductions

Even though it's hard work, we come back inspired and energized!

We love the classics but are always curious to see what's "trending" as well as what are we seeing in most showrooms, what colors keep showing up and what looks fresh and new.

Speaking of the classics, black and white seemed to appear over and over.  Here are a few of my favorites:

Some gorgeous vignettes from theGlobal Views showroom.
