High Point International Home Furnishings Market Coastal Finds

I had the chance to get to the October International Home Furnishings Market two weeks ago. This market is held twice a year. Basically, the city of High Point and surrounding towns, which are filled with furniture showrooms, open their doors to retailers, international buyers, and interior designers. I don’t always make to each market, but I was glad to find many items that fit into our coastal style interior designs. Below are just a few great accents you might consider adding for a coastal touch to your home.

Benson Cobb large art — Benson Cobb at Market Square

Benson Cobb vertical art — Another fabulous setting at Benson Cobb

EJ Lawrence Quote books — Brilliant way to upcycle old books at E. Lawrence Ltd. Love the quotes!

A coastal take on the upcycled books with new covers by E. Lawrence.

A coastal take on the Trumeau mirror by Karen Robertson

Karen Robertson Booth takes coastal accents to another level!

Saltwater Salvage Art — Saltwater Salvage captures the ocean in art

Saltwater Salvage SEA — saltwater Salvage spells it out for us

Saltwater Salvage small art — Fill a wall with vintage prints by Saltwater Salvage. Distressed for a little added texture.

Surya Scion Rug — Surya pairs with Scion a division of Harlequin fabrics. One of my favorites! Love the colors.

So many great things to choose from! Most of the sources above are made in America which is one of my criteria when selected sustainable products for the shop. What would you add to your home? What do you like? Is there something that you don’t like? I’d love to get your feedback. You may see a few of these pieces at Sea Green Designs soon.

Be Inspired,
