We just got back from our first trade show in Atlanta. What an inspiring experience!!! It was incredible to be surrounded by so many creatives and beautiful design. AmericasMart Atlanta offered 3 buildings with 17 floors of exhibitors and design inspiration! We arrived early in the morning and spent the entire day walking from showroom to showroom. We thought we would share some of our experience with you. Here are some of our highlights.

Right off the escalator we bumped into this adorable kids line Lil Pyar. Their textiles and colors stopped us in our tracks. They have wonderful mobiles that will make kids’ rooms dreamy!

We love kids décor that is not to fuzzy but rather with fun patterns, soft pretty colors and a modern style. It is important to have a room that will grow with the kids so if we add in items that are very age specific, we like to do so with linens and pictures that can easily be changed. We also like to use wall colors that are neutral such as grays, blues and beige.

 

Etu’home

Another brand that caught our eye was Etu’home. Their installation of glass pendants was stunning!! They have a hand-blown look, and the European feel of this brand makes it very inviting and homey, yet the stunning materials and simple designs are very beautiful.

These pendants are so beautiful!

Antiques Showrooms

It is always fun to visit a shop that has very unique items – going to a place outside your regular style will inspire you and make you rethink you design. While we do not use a ton of antiques, adding one or two will instantly give your space unique character. We love incorporating pieces from travels or family heirlooms. At the Market, we stopped into a few antique stores and were amazed by what they had to offer.

Things like old clocks, old paintings and signs are a great way to add something old to your walls. Also, remember that things don’t have to be 100 years old to be interesting. If you have an old racquet, ballet shoes or old trays, they make a cool addition to your personal collection or instant wall art.

 

Celadon Art

Next stop at the Market was Celadon Art. We had a lovely visit at their showroom and their selection of art was so beautiful. Here are some of our favorites.

These indigo stained photographs are amazing. The paper has folds and creases which adds to their vintage feel.

We also love these over-sized flowers that have an old world feel.

Everything is designed in Sweden, by Eightmood’s own designers, who organize the collections into moods.

We love traditional pottery with a fresh look so Farmhouse Pottery was an exciting visit for us. They have beautiful classic designs that still feel very fresh. We imagine that these items will be passed down for generations.

They also have other products for the home such as cutting boards, bowls and candles. They also happen to make the worlds coolest fly swatter. Hey, if you are gonna swat flies, why not do it with genuine leather?
