I was lucky enough to be able to attend the Las Vegas furniture market. Whenever I was inspired to create a display, I took a picture. So I thought that I would share a few from the first showroom we toured- Four Hands.
The front windows were super impressive. I loved the
branches they used to almost create a canopy of the huge linen sofa. I also
think it was interesting that they put moss on the wall as a backdrop to the
mirror. Their theme seemed to be: bring the outdoors in. They always to an
amazing job with lighting to add that extra element.
I have started to see the use of the malachite as a motif in
homes. (Little Green notebook showed lots of gorgeous examples here), so I
wanted to take note of this wallpaper- complete with creepy/vintage mermaid.
Another outside in picture- check out those floors! This
vignette was raised with stone pavers and moss. Very messy, but so pretty!
Sometimes tapers can look super dated- I like how they
melted some of the wax. Makes them look less perfect and more interesting.
Arrows- so trendy right now. But they are sculptural and I
liked how they put them in the wall (I also loved Emily Henderson’s in a vaseon her mantle)
I’m still not sick of industrial lighting- I love the
theatrics of it and how it is both a light and art.
Raingutter hanging planter? Genius. I even got a close up
because I thought it would be fun to recreate. Would be pretty easy to DIY with
cooper rain gutters, a drill, and long bolts.
I really liked the use of all of these little glass vases.
It feels collected and interesting- makes a statement and would be very easy
(and expensive!) to do.
At this market, I saw lots of vintage racquets being used as
art. Maybe my parents have their old tennis racquets that I can steal for a
display? Or a thrift shop?
So there you have it- and all in one shop!!! Beautiful
furniture + great displays is perfection in my book! One of my favorite parts
of market is all of this inspiration I get. I have a fun “back to school”
display that I dreamed up during market that I can’t wait to share. Hint, hint,
it includes book art!
