It is always fun when the emails with the latest from High Point start flowing in. Lexington Furniture recently sent me a new collection called Aquarius, and there were more than a few things that caught my eye.

What could be better than a Hermes orange chest of drawers with very handsome brass hardware? I am putting the Aria Chest in my "Furniture I have to use in a client project" file. It would be great in a room for grown ups (sophisticated) OR a child's room (perfect to grow up with, and such a fun color!)

Whenever I see new furniture, I have a habit of imagining a whole room designed around it. Do you ever do that? I imagine all of the other furnishings, walls, area rugs....everything. I call these rooms my "inspiration rooms". Occasionally I will put a mood board together for that potential client that might come along. And I always have photos of lovely things on my bulletin board in my office.

Couldn't you see it in a room like this.?.....

And the Electra Chair....what a classic style! Art Deco shape and the leather and wood are such a wonderful combination. So handsome....again that descriptive.....but it is a masculine design I think. Which is NOT to say that a woman would not fall in love with it. I did!

I can see it in a space like this.....

What do you think? Modern, traditional, I think it works in any kind of setting.

A cool new modern bench called the Ascension comes in white or black leather. I thought it very interesting..... 

It could be great at the end of this bed....
