The Events Approaching

Zachary Wheeler • April 11, 2024

Exciting Events happening soon

Welcome to April! It is finally spring and there are many exciting events happening this month. I have had a BUSY past 3 months, and it is not slowing down anytime soon. I have had a few installations, some larger construction projects, and even a big project out of town. I was just in Alabama doing the final install for a client down there and it turned out amazing. There are 3 big things coming in the next month and into May, and as always, we are excited to bring you along for the fun.

 

Starting off with a bang, this weekend starts High Point Furniture Market Spring 2024!

I just love high point market so much. The new colors, art, trends, and designs for the year are all being shown off in the showrooms at market. I look forward to seeing all my design friends and the companies I work with the most. I love to see the top designers, sit on panels, and attend them. It’s fun to learn from everyone around me and keep up with the trending designs even though, as you know, I am not a trendy designer. Not to mention all the fun parties, yummy food, and drinks everywhere! My sister/brand manager is coming along this time, she hasn’t been with me since fall 2019 so we are looking forward to that! She will be taking a ton of behind the scenes and video content for us, be sure to keep an eye out for that soon! 

 

Some of my favorite companies and showrooms I look forward to seeing are:

Bernhardt Furniture – Upholstery & Furniture 

Hooker Furnishings & HF Custom – Upholstery & Furniture 

Surya – Rugs, Pillows, & Home Décor

Regina Andrew Design – Lighting & Décor 

Forty West Designs – Wooden/Rustic Furniture & Lighting 

Eastern Accents – Bedding & Drapery 

Howard Elliott Collection – Home Décor & Accessories 

 

Next, I am SUPER excited to be traveling internationally again! This time a few friends and I are going to Barcelona, Spain and Lisbon, Portugal. I CANNOT WAIT to see all the amazing architecture and design elements in that region of Europe. I will be taking lots of pictures and will share some to my Instagram in the coming weeks. Maybe I’ll even give you a Tip Tuesday or two from over there.  A very exciting April indeed!

 

And lastly, I have an exciting project collaboration with Eastern Accents that should be announced after High Point Market. I have been working on this with them for about a year now, so I’m thrilled that it’s finally happening! Keep following along as we take these fun adventures. All of this helps me be a better designer and more experienced to help you with your home or project!

Colors of the Year 2025

By Zachary Wheeler • January 21, 2025
Mocha, Cinnamon, Ruby, Green and more! The main company I use in my business for paint is, Benjamin Moore. I have used them for years and love all their colors, stains, and products. From the whitest white to blackest black, they carry over 3000 colors for all your color needs! Beyond Benjamin Moore, we will touch on other company’s colors of the year. I love POPS of colors in design. Grays and Blues are still my go-to standards, but adding in a pop of color can make your space fun! Benjamin Moore Color of the Year is: Cinnamon Slate They describe this as a mix of heather plum and velvety brown. It is a lovely purple-y hue that would look great in a kitchen, foyer, or primary bedroom. Along with the Color of the Year, they also coordinate a color palette with that. These are colors that will complement each other and can be used together in rooms, like accents, doors, trim, etc. When I accent color, I do not mean an accent wall, just to clarify. These colors include: Rosepine-green/sage, Paris Rain-mint/light green, Sea Salt-neutral grey/white, Glacier White-white hue, Stained Glass-Teal/green, Leather Saddle Brown-burgundy/brown, Chowning’s Tan-Tan/camel, Tissue Pink-Blush pink, & Ashwood Moss-mossy green. Moving on to the other Colors of the Year. Here are my other favorites. Pantone- Mocha Moose A warm rich brown that would be perfect for a big open family room, or in a walk-in closet. HGTV Home for Sherwin Williams- Quietude A neutral green with gray and blue undertones. This would look great on kitchen cabinets or a comfortable sunroom! Behr- Rumors This is a deep ruby red with a bold warmth and would look wonderful in a moody library, home office, or a dining room. If you are looking to update paint in any of your spaces, all these colors would look great. Again, I work with Benjamin Moore, and they have plenty to choose from. I do color consultations often and work those colors into a full design. Get your 2025 started off right, and let’s get to work!
