With that springtime weather finally arriving, it puts an extra spring in our step! How about you? We are constantly on the hunt for items for your home to reflect the season and trends. It’s easy to freshen up any space for spring with a few furniture or décor pieces.

Every six months the world’s most popular and upcoming design brands make the trek to Las Vegas to showcase their products. We’re so lucky to be right in the center of it all! Market was a stunner (as usual!) with a plethora of new vendors, trends and stylish décor we can’t wait to show you! So without further ado, these are our Top 10 Winter Market Moments!

We love helping our #APJ readers out, keep the #AskAPJ questions coming! Annie tagged us on Instagram asking for help with the design of her narrow format living room & dining room. She shared the following picture as well. She says, “Here is a head scratcher. Our loooooong living room features some of our favorite antique pieces, but lacks color etc. We’re looking to replace dining chairs, but what style and color? How about different curtains? Ack! Help a design loving yet challenged gal! P.S. did I mention besides antique pieces and the floor I loathe the color brown?”

We’ve talked a lot about color this year! From our Feng Shui tips on our Instagram #AskAPJ posts, to our forecast about trendsetting colors for the upcoming seasons. As usual, we got yo’ back APJ readers! We’re going to make it easy for you, here’s a refresher course:

Last month we introduced Mallory Dawn of Ice Cream and Cupcakes, the ultra talented multimedia artist. You can catch up HERE if you missed the interview. We’re always inspired by our Confident. Fearless. Inspired. guests and Mallory is no exception, so we’ve created a special space just for her. We imagine this is where she’d kick up her feet after a long and creative paint sesh… enjoy the coziness {PS we totally need the fur hammock too!} and be inspired by all of the feminine elements. When admiring her portfolio, we couldn’t help but notice the strong presence of  ladylike delicacy in her art, so why not embrace it with her Dream Space?! What do you think Mallory, could you see yourself relaxing here?

Meet Mallory Dawn, a talented artist, the 0wner & founder of Model Comics, and our latest Confident. Fearless. Inspired guest!

Last month we had the opportunity of guest blogging for Lexington Home Brands, a special company that we share many values with. Their passion lies in creating beautiful furnishings which not only serve as statement pieces, but have some pretty unique features if you ask us. If you can appreciate great design and never ending inspiration, you too will be a lover of Lexington’s creations.

Phew! High Point Market was another busy week in the design world. With 11.5 million square feet of showroom space, there was an unlimited amount of new things to see and be excited about. We’ve compressed those 11.5 million square feet into 10 of our market favorites, just for you.

We love this festive time of year when we can add some holiday decorations to our homes. However, there are ways we can do it without some of the tacky items, which are better left at the dollar store. We’ve racked our brains, and the great inter web, to bring you some fab Halloween decór ideas you’ll want to leave up all year round.
