More than leaves are changing

It's High Point time, and I'm hearing lots of feedback from colleagues who are down in North Carolina now checking out the latest and greatest trends that are soon to arrive in the marketplace.  Every year (or season) I am surprised by how much of a swing the design world can make.  From what I've been told, we seem to be coming out of the clean lines that feel transitional in nature and are now looking towards a looser, less tailored look; slipcovers and slouchy upholstery that create more casual environments to hang out in.  But, for those of you who are still into a crisp, clean look, you'll be brightening it up a bit with lacquered, high-gloss finishes in hues of green.  Stay tuned...
