One of the things I loved about exploring the showrooms at High Point Market was discovering the diverse “personalities” of the lines that were presented. Each showroom definitely had its own mood or vibe, and I would describe the vibe at Wesley Hall as sexy. Why sexy? Because more than anything, I fell in love with the curves and sumptuous lines of their pieces. I’m kind of a curvy girl myself I’d say, so it felt like they were speaking my language! And the truth is, if you get the lines of a piece right you can really upholster it in anything and take it in a thousand directions that will all end in fabulous.

 Here are my top four picks from their new releases at this October’s Market:

ONE: The Barber Curved Banquette is all kinds of femme-glam with her hourglass figure and her button tufting and nailhead trim details. This is the kind of piece I would build a sophisticated breakfast nook around as the heart of a happy home. Here’s a shot of her live and in person nestled up to a round dining table in the showroom:

TWO: The Sway Accent Ottoman feels like it is extending an invitation to me to have my backside cradled by the warm embrace of its contoured shape. I look at it and immediately want to sit on it with the feeling that the curvaceousness of my badonkadonk will not be judged, but rather welcomed into a piece that was designed just for me and my backside. Any piece of furniture that can make me feel like being curvy is where it’s at has my number. I loved seeing this piece upholstered in this chartreuse chevron {below} in the showroom. Dee-lish.

THREE: The Foster Tufted Sofa is a beautiful marriage of traditional and modern. The tufted back and roll arms feel very debonaire English traditional, while the fully upholstered deck and legs and the nailhead detail that highlight them have a very modern edge, making this the perfect transitional sofa. I also kind of want to bite my palm seeing it finished in that decadent navy velvet. Truly a forever investment piece, Foster is the kind of handsome gentleman I would love to see with a dashing twin, the pair facing one another and flanking an oversized and dramatic fireplace.

FOUR: The Dunham Bench? Well, she’s got legs, and she knows how to use them. Between her leggy details, her button tufting and the gorgeous trim details {all customizable, of course} she is my kind of girl. I also fell in love with her kissing cousin, the Dunham Ottoman {shown below bunched as a group of four for a flexible, functional and fabulous alternative to a coffee table. Don’t you just love the contrast between the velvet and the linen? Yummy.}.

There were many other pieces in the Wesley Hall collection that put a glimmer in my eye, and my guess is they’ll be showing up in future posts. I’m also particularly intrigued by the rumour that headboards are in Wesley Hall’s fabulous future. I will most definitely be keeping my eyes open for that kind of gorgeousness when it makes its debut!

Hope this finds you warm and well on this Wednesday morning. Thank you, Wesley Hall, for such sexy and sumptuous inspiration to get our motors running!
