"High Point 2011"...trends

Lots of fresh new ideas, where found at the furniture show this time.  The addition of new small stools, caught me eye.  Stools can be incorporated into any design style.  They are small and come in so many shapes and sizes.  They serve as footstools or coffee tables as well as sitting.  One of the new trends is the comeback of the color Gold.  I know what you are thinking 80's but in reality, it's beautiful.  The tone is soft and mixed with white washed oak, looks fantastic.  The first image was taken for fun.  We can see so many different elements from Lucite to fir, gracefully resting in a zigzag area rug.  Lots of geometric shapes and color-color-color!
