Market to Market Journey: Phase Four

 

We are rocking and rolling setting up the showroom in High Point! With just a few days to go, this place is coming together quickly!! We have been unloading trucks, propping, staging, laying rugs, cleaning, changing light bulbs... you name it! It takes a lot of man power and energy to set up this big showroom!

 

 

We have had trucks coming from Hickory almost daily, sometimes 2 or 3 in one day!

 

With the new pieces coming in, each space gets a little bit cramped, until it is set up.

 

 

We're so thankful for our team of hard working guys who move furniture for us all day long! They set up beds, tables, lay rugs... it's a lot of hard work!

 

 

 

We have about 80 rugs in this showroom...and those things are heavy!

 

 

 

With furniture in place, we get the creative juices flowing and start propping them with accessories. We have a lot of  blue going on here! Accessories help to pull out the colors in the spaces.

 

Some of the designers at work...

Here is Angelia contemplating her space. It is looking good!

 

Julie is mastering this cabinet and hanging artwork. It is looking very pretty!

 

 

Each bookcase and cabinet is like a composition to be balanced. Lots of different style props are used to create just the perfect look!

 

 

Come to the Century Showroom in Market Square to see it all finished!!

Market to Market Journey Phase Three

Can you believe Market is just 4 weeks away?? On this journey to market we are busy finishing up our last orders for market. Our team of designers has gone room by room designing the 80,000 square feet of space here in our High Point showroom. Making our selections for upholstery and casegoods simultaneously allows us to be very creative and make the whole room very cohesive.

With our market orders into the factory, we are now moving all the pieces that are still in showroom. By sorting the furniture into a central place in each room we can decide where each piece should be for October Market. It's important for us to be organized in such a big showroom!

And now the fun begins! We have multiple trucks arriving to the showroom weekly from Hickory. Off the truck, into the freight elevator, up to the showroom, and into place.

 

Fresh off the truck- this sofa looks great!

 

It is amazing to see the pieces in all the new and different finishes! Here is a chest from our Madera collection finished in fossil.  Doesn't even look like the one in the catalog. 

For another chest from our Milan collection we selected a Desert and Smoke combination. How pretty is that?!

Check out this great chair in a new fabric and finish for the Bob Timberlake area!

We love seeing how beautifully the pieces come out of the factory. Below is another gorgeous new fabric on the Trellis chair from our Oscar de la Renta collection!

 

We're so excited for the rest of the pieces to get to the showroom! And now I must get back to the floor to start the next step in the journey to market-  staging and propping the rooms.  

Be sure to visit our showroom during market to see the final result.
