A Market to Remember: Our Fall High Point Highlights

Every Market tells its own story, and this fall, ours was full of creativity, color, connection...and a little rain. From collaborating on showroom design to spotting the latest trends in furniture and fashion, this High Point Market reminded me why I fell in love with this industry in the first place.

Old Biscayne Designs: An Artisanal Experience

Alina Thompson & Gretchen Gabrielli, owner of Old Biscayne Designs

One of my favorite parts of Market was helping bring the Old Biscayne Designs showroom to life. This season, we wanted visitors to experience something immersive — a space where artistry meets craftsmanship. The showroom featured OBD’s incredible custom furniture alongside original local art and pottery, handmade lamps and rugs, custom jewelry, luxurious bedding and pillows, and even bespoke wallcoverings and lighting.

Every detail told a story, and seeing it all come together felt like a true celebration of what makes High Point so special: the artistry behind every piece.

Wesley Hall: Wisteria Hues and Market Magic

Wesley Hall always wows with their iconic doors, but this Wisteria hue was one of our favorites!

The Wesley Hall showroom was (as always) pure sophistication. Their wisteria-colored doors made the perfect backdrop for their lavender haze cocktail — and the upholstery? Absolutely stunning! Every vignette was beautifully styled, welcoming, and full of that signature Wesley Hall craftsmanship we all know and love.

Chelsea House: Pups and Playful Charm

Chelsea House launched their new Amanda Lindroth Collection this season.

If you know me, you know I have a soft spot for creativity and a sense of humor, and Chelsea House nailed both. Their dog-themed accessories added a playful touch to the elegant showroom, and their staff couldn’t have been kinder or more welcoming. It’s the kind of place that reminds you how much personality matters in design. Be sure to check out our reel from Chelsea House's showroom...it's pretty doggone cute if we say so ourselves.

A Little Fun Never Hurts

The Korean BBQ food truck is one of our favorites and that bulgogi cheesecake is (chef's kiss)...perfection!

Of course, no Market is complete without a few statement outfits — and this year, I took that to heart. From a vampire-inspired look with a Dracula book purse to a tea-themed outfit nodding to our blog (Spilling the Social Tea), I had fun playing with themes that made people smile.

There was a football outfit (because it’s Market Season), a sparkly “Life of a Showroom Girl” look inspired by Taylor Swift’s new album, and even a Soliloquy-branded day with houseplant earrings and a house purse — the perfect wink to our home furnishings roots.

The Moments Between

Between the showrooms and the styling, the real magic was in the moments between — making reels, catching up with clients, sharing a laugh with friends, and enjoying the energy that only Market can bring.

And yes, there were cocktails...so many cocktails. (Because even the best creative strategy needs a splash of something fun.)

Until next time, High Point! Thanks for another season of inspiration, collaboration, and joy. 💗
