Paris, High Point, and LuAnn Live!

We’ve made ourselves quite comfortable as we’ve transitioned from Summer to Fall at the new AHD&Co Design Center.

Our team is busy welcoming clients, and Zoe Kimble, our procurement manager, has introduced the AHD Trade program to local designers. In case you missed it, our new Design Center in Downtown Westfield isn’t just for our team and client presentations.

We’ve been busy supporting other interior designers access high-quality trade furnishings at our exclusive pricing, and provide them a space where they can hold client selections meetings, complete with furniture sit tests and a full library of fabrics and samples.

If you’re interested in learning more, let’s set up a call, so we can answer your questions and schedule a tour.

AHD Trade Inquiry

In other news, the past two months have included lots of fun travel, first to Paris for Maison&Objet as a Houzz Pro trend-spotter! Which was, of course, fabulous not only for all the design inspiration, but also because I got to spend a week in Paris with some of my design besties! Check out my post-Paris interview with the breakdown of our experience.

Then in October we were off to High Point Market, where we were able to touch, sit on, and see in-person so many beautiful pieces of furniture and decor to use in our upcoming projects and to suggest to our AHD Trade designers. I had the opportunity to speak at a Designer Academy event at High Point where I discussed running an Interior Design business.

Am I tired? Yep. Does the fun stop here? Nope! In November, we’re off to LuAnn Live, where we’ll immerse ourselves in education and conversation, catch up and network with friends and colleagues, and spread the word about AHD Trade.

We’ll round out the year with some amazing projects – stay tuned for those – as we keep up this fast and furious pace during what I like to call “construction season”. And, we’re already booking projects for 2024, so if you are just starting to plan a new construction or renovation project – or a home furnishings refresh – now is the time to schedule a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
