Ashley, nailed it a full 18 minutes before Melanie. Send me your info so I can send you the book. Congrats! Yes, Gray with a pop of what I'd call Hermes Orange was the flavor of market. Those of you who said Blue are on track too. I see that as a secondary emerging color for the Spring. It is a different Blue than the lighter Gray Blues of late. It is a more intense Mediterranean Blue to Navy. Neutrals of all shades but predominantly, Gray were everywhere as well. I know they say "Gray is the new Black " but for me, Black is always the new Black. So here are some pics.
Global Views (one of my favorite showrooms). I just happen to be wearing Orange and Gray that day so I posed until I kept my eyes open for a pic.

I can't begin to tell you how unusual it is for this many showrooms to have the same color palette. Market was also the most busy I've seen it for the past couple years…a sign the economic tide is shifting? We can hope. Christi, commented on my feet. Yes, they hurt pretty bad. On the first day I decided to be fashionable and forgo my practical shoes (Cole Hahn Gold Lame Mary Janes with the Nike air technology…a Glamor "Don't" on so many levels) for some heeled Gray suede boots. You can kind of see them in the pic above. I even had the gel insoles in them. Let's just say by 5 pm I was hurting so bad we hailed a cab to take us two blocks. I hadn't even brought the fug shoes (that is the name I've given them). I did have some better options for the remaining days. I would not recommend crippling yourself to look cute.
Which showroom do you like best?
I have orange in my home and I love it!
Love all the photos. I’m so sad I missed market this fall. I just love all of the showrooms.
Definitely the Hickory Chair showroom was my fav! Hope your feet feel better. . . I’ve done my share of fashionable hobbling and always swear I’ll never do it again!
Oh my! I almost won. I should have been a quicker poster:( I never win anything but it was fun to come in second.
Hands down Global Views & Revco Rock. Dare I say…Stanley Furniture kinda looks like my parents bedroom? It’s kind of Yawn.
Thank You for sharing!
Well, darn, I guessed purple and gray. I like the idea of orange with gray, though. That’s a fun combination.
I’m glad I stopped by and saw this because I was about to announce the giveaway on my blog, and it’s over already. Oops. Apparently I was a little too slow!
The Hickory Chair is my favorite followed by the Global Views.
Sorry to hear about your sore feet. It’s always easier to recommend sensible shoes “after” you have worn the cute ones. It’s kind of like going on a diet after you’ve had dessert. LOL! I am with you on the glamourous shoes though; after my back surgery I was determined to wear heels again (and do!) and I tried like heck to wear them before my back even heeled. I had nightmares I was going to have to wear “sensible shoes” for life. Nooooo!!!!!
Hickory Chair ~ Suzanne Kessler ~ has my vote. Hey, where’s the picture of you next to the tall chair in Global Views?? That was a good one!
I’ve been on vacation and am catching up on your site. I’m so jealous! How exciting to attend an event like this and check out all the new products. My favorites are Van Guard, Global Views and Revco. I love the orange and grays. What a great combo.
