Are you ready to walk for miles and see the best of the best that is out there in furniturelandia these days? As you know I’ve recently done that with camera in hand and comfy shoes on foot so here is what I’ve seen on my day 2 tour of High Point Market with the Design Blogger’s Tour…

Great beds {and yes, by the end of the tour each day I couldn’t wait to plop into one!}. Lots of great beds and I’m happy to report that upholstered headboards are still very much en vogue, since I’ve had one in my master bedroom for several years now! But ohhhhh, how I would L.O.V.E. this one above by Vanguard Furniture with indestructible fabric from Crypton

We were treated to a view of not only the GORGEOUS furniture at Vanguard, but to a demonstration of Crypton fabric that is basically bulletproof in terms of it’s anti stain factor…

Our second stop was at the showroom of Universal Furniture that is ever so stylish with a mix of traditional high end luxury and yet affordability for most consumers. I have shopped their lines at some of the local stores in town and am always impressed by the up to date designs…

A mix of laquered wood with a metal base in silver and I could easily see this in any style of decor paired up with the right accessories…

Nailhead trim and boho style seem almost incongruous when mentioned in the same sentence, but this is how you mix up some of Universal Furniture’s pieces for a just right panache!
