This April, I was a part of the High Point Market Design bloggers tour. As someone who loves all things decor and design, I was elated to join and meet a fun group of bloggers and brands.

Southern means so many things to so many people and I have picked a few of my favorite takeaways from each showroom we visited while on this tour.
