Arlene Ladegaard, Allied Member ASID, owner of Design Connection Inc., brought back some fun pieces you’ll start to see around KC. 

10.C.R. Laine is a wonderful upholstery line, still made in the United States. They introduced a custom finish option with Benjamin Moore for exposed wood on their upholstery. It allows a unique and custom look that gives designers more interesting options that they can take to the client.”

11.  Linen headboards are the rage right now. “Stanley Furniture introduced a new farm bed with great finish options. The wood characteristics give it a lot of interest, and I love the heavy, rubbed-through white finish or a dark brown finish. The old pickled furniture has been given a new name — a blond finish. This was a very big look at Market this year. It’s interesting how trends can be reinvented every few years.”

12. “Wandering through the halls at High Point, I found a great bedding line (Hampton Hill) that is shockingly affordable. Everything you need is provided at one cost, and they say it comes to you in a bag. It creates a very custom look at an affordable price.”
