High Point Highlights and New Blues in the Shop

  Hi all!  I made a super quick trip to High Point for the furniture and accessories show.  I couldn't bare to miss it, even if I was only able to go for a day and a half.  I can never stay away!

This image is from my absolute favorite room at Wesley Hall...

The trends I saw included a continuation of fresh, clean colors, but with some earth tones mixed in, particularly in butterscotch (a fave of mine) and darker greens, going to olive.  Here are random shots of things that caught my eye...


Leather and lucite bench?  Yes please!

Painted wood tile flooring -- to die for.

I always stop to stare at botanicals, and a rabbit always gets me, too...

This tray is petrified wood.  How I would love this in my house...

Speaking of wood, this live edge coffee table had my thumbs up...

Good chairs always make my heart race.  Perhaps sad, but true! ;-)

This ghost chair knocked my socks off...

The mix of textures and styles in this setting really appealed...

I think one of the coolest things this market was these coffee and end tables, done in a custom Pantone combination (you can pick any three colors you want),  and sealed with an almost indestructible finish.  I would mix these in any traditional setting...

I could have stayed in High Point all week, but not doable this time around.  But a bit of time is better than none.  Personally, I think it's critical in this industry to see and feel what's new and next. 

And for new and next, I want to show you two items I'm loving in the shop.  A stunning blue and white, coral and seashell motif soap dish, and cobalt blue majolica in the cabbage pattern.  There is a limited quantity of each, so don't wait, my blue and white peeps!!

Shop it at 6 Wilson

Hope you are having a great start to the week!!  Thanks for stopping by,

The Love for Blue in Design and a Coupon

  I never cease to be amazed that my 6 Wilson shop stats consistently tell me that my customers love blue pillows.  Every shade of blue, every style, whether it is mixed with white or other colors.  I believe that in design, blue is the most decorated-with hue, and there's no wonder why.  It's just plain pretty.

Take a look...

In keeping with the blues, I added some new pillows to 6 Wilson.  There's some traditional, a bit of elegance, some French Country, and a dash of modern, too. 

There's so much blue in the shop right now, and most all of it is done in high end, designer fabrics.  Many of them are only available through designers.  I am a firm believer in having things in your home, like pillows ;-),  that reflect your style, and not every neighbor on your street.

And if you'd like a chance to win a pillow cover of your choice, hop on over to The Enchanted Home and visit Tina (who's love of blue and white is hard to top).  She's hosting a 6 Wilson giveaway, and there's a 20% off COUPON you can use.  Just sharin' the love!

Hope you have a fabulous weekend, friends!!

A House for Sale and Other Stuff

  Wow, it's been a while.  The late spring and summer months have taken me way off course with a 5 month house guest (a family member on a job search), another family member in hospice, work on a new venture, and fitting life, clients and other work in between.  I'm not ready to come back to blogging yet, or execute some 6 Wilson plans, but I wanted to share a home that totally blows me away.

If you've been a Vignette Design blog reader for any length of time (I've been reading for years), you've probably already loved this home.    Delores just posted the real estate pictures taken for the sale of her house, and they are a must see if you like traditional/French Country design.   Pop over to her blog to see them all.  You are sure to be inspired.  (Photos here are from her blog).

This is a home with gorgeous bones, and gorgeous landscaping.  Maybe it's on your shopping list?

A Pillow Cover Giveaway at Abby M Interiors

It's been way too long since I've been on the blog.  Things have been super hectic, and I've been working on a major project that I can't wait to share in the upcoming months!  It's why I've been sort of absent, as there are only so many hours in the day.  You know that feeling, I'm sure!

WIN ONE OF THESE AND MANY OTHERS !!

I also just put some new inventory in the shop, and more is coming over the next week or so.  I scored some luscious new fabrics and I can't wait for you to visit 6 Wilson and take a peek.  Here are a few to get you started, and they are all part of the giveaway happening now over at @abbyminteriors on Instagram.  Now through Saturday at 6 pm.

If You Love Copper or Colored Glass...

  ...Then you've got to see these vintage finds that just went in the shop.  6 Wilson's got some new pieces, and I thought you might like a peek.

Don't you love the patina on these?    The kettle (here), which I would use as a watering can for my deck flowers -- but I'm not because it's for one of you out there, has such charm...

The hardest part of having a shop is not keeping the inventory for yourself.  It's hard, my friends, very hard.  This copper bowl, from a gorgeous old estate, is one example.

See more of this bowl here.

And if you like glass pieces, these three green lovelies can work as candle holders...

or if you prefer, fill them with flowers...

I don't know when they were made, but they are made in Italy, as the bottoms are stamped...

Maybe my favorite new addition to the shop is this little guy, a small brass bell with the sweetest rooster on top.

So come on over to the shop and check them out.  And have the greatest of weekends!!  Talk to you soon,

Client Bathroom Progress

Hi all, it's been a bit, hasn't it?    Since the One Room Challenge, I've been doing client work, 6 Wilson stuff, and well, keeping really busy with life in general.  You know how that goes.

I thought I'd bring you up to date on the progress of a client bathroom that I first showed on Instagram last summer!  This project has been incredibly slow going because that busy life thing has taken a toll on my client, but I thought I would show you some major changes that have occurred.  Here is the before...

And here is where we are at now...

The tub area before, and then the tub area in progress...

And here is a peek at the progress.  We have installed all new floors and shower tile, changed out the cabinetry, replaced the tub, and gotten as far as the paint in these images (door still needs paint).  The color is accurate in the first after image.   Still more to go, with some open shelving, lighting and accessories, but a major difference is already happening, yes? (It cracked me up when I realized the same towel is in the before and the in-progress!)

Here is another bathroom I've just started, after completing two in this client's house already.  This is how it was when we met last week...

The only thing staying in this bathroom will be the vanity, with a new paint color.  The quartzite countertop (lower right) has been approved, along with the floor (right above the granite), and the accent marble in the linear mosaic will be used in the tub surround, which will be done with a soft white subway tile. 

I will share the complete design board for this bathroom when I'm done with it.

I hope you are having a good weekend, and enjoying this glorious Sunday.  Talk to you soon and thanks for stopping by,
