Fall High Point Market did NOT disappoint this year! How could it? When you are surrounded by so many beautiful home furnishings and people all in one place, there’s no way that you can have a bad time at Fall market.
I personally only went from Sunday to Tuesday morning and during that short time I felt like I was there for an entire week, while I was really there for 48 hours. An overload of the senses that forces me to come home and recover for the next 3 days until I return to baseline tiredness and can have a solid train of thought. But it’s worth every second!
Here is a recap of the outstanding people, places and products that I got to see at market this fall:
Thank you to Debbe Daley and Wendy Woloshchuk for hosting the bi-annual, Learn to Love High Point Market Tour. If you plan to attend the market in the future, be sure to try to attend this tour next time, they are as insightful as they are wonderful!
Have you checked out Chelsea on the Green yet?! This was a first time for me and what a great way to spend it! Mydoma partnered with ICID World to host this fun “global treasure hunt” around the vintage world, that is, Chelsea on the Green. It was so great to meet many of the members and ambassadors involved with the ICID world community. Thank you for including us!
Though it felt like just a few short days, the Mydoma team attended so many incredible events and panels!
On Sunday, Mydoma partnered with EQ3 for a fantastic panel hosted by LuAnn Nigara called Crafting The Client Journey From Lead To Repeat Client. Tiffany Brown, Jason Clifton and Sara Lynn Brennan spoke of their processes and ins and outs of their business models. Thank you for sharing your amazing insights with us!
What a fabulous party this was! An amazing way to celebrate 50 years of serving the interior design community. This outdoor party with a live band, champagne wall, impeccable food and amazing people was by far the highlight of this trip. The fabulous and inviting team at IDS were all beaming from ear to ear to have members of their chapters from across the country all in one place, and also welcome new members that joined in on the celebration. It truly was an event for the books- thank you for letting us be a part of it, IDS!
For the last 3 HPMKT recaps I’ve shared fairly well known product lines with you all highlighting trends that I saw that season. This recap I will share some “up and coming” brands that stood out at Shoppe Object- New York’s premier home and gift show that debuted at HPMKT this year. View all the Shoppe Object collections here.
Sojourn Pottery | Mix and Match Ceramics From Portugal
Drawn in by the vibrant colors, and in awe of the stunning combinations- I loved the quality and selection from Sojourn. If you are a vacation rental designer, this would be a great color pop addition to your space. Or if you are just looking for a beautiful dishware company for any of your projects- I highly recommend it! I also love that this is a female founded and lead company.

The vibrant colors and globally inspired home decor collection by Charlie Sprout was as beautiful as it was inspired. Every piece of the collection is custom made-to-order and helps to empower and create sustainable income for artisan women around the world.

These stunning rugs caught my eye from across the room, and as I got to know more about this Australian rug company I discovered that many of them are WASHABLE! I know washable has been around here in the states for a while now but I haven’t seen so many fun prints in a rug showroom in a long time. Now breaking into the US, this rug company was very designer influenced and I look forward to getting to know more about them in the coming months.
See you next time High Point!
