I made a quick trip to Dallas Monday to see what trends were emerging for the next year.....as you can see vintage linens with european influenced graphic logos are still very strong. This display was just inside the World Trade Center by the registration desk.
There are 13 floors open to the trade with offices on the top floors above them.....
Lots of linen with aged, european logos and graphics...
Look at these fabulous floor mats! Font styles cover this one while others had French wine labels and motifs...
Cool blues and watery greens are still strong!
Decorative panels mimicking the patina of vintage screens and backdrops.....
Richard Urban of Exclusive Treasures has been a friend for years...I usually stop and buy iconographic art done in Peru that he represents....
He has giclees and original oil paintings along with other iconography...
and the "West Elm" look is still a staple for groupings and bookshelves....lots of sculptural pieces with a "curiosities" mix of shells, obelisks and corals.....

Dear Theresa, So many things to covet including the gelato. I love the patinated decorative panels. What a great idea! Also, the updated jacquards.
I own one of those original oil paintings from Peru. Purchased it from the artist in Lima. It is very similar to the one pictured on the left. I call it my "Instant Ancestor Painting".
Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful Fourth celebration.
OMG.........i was there but apparently not really, as i did not see anything you did except for the display at registration. and how did i miss the gelato?! oh well my first time, usually go to atlanta.

ps; are you able to tell me what showroom/vendor had the vintage screens?
Thans for the informative tour. Those Indian prints are beautiful, elegant and rich at the same time.
So interesting to get a peek at what the trends are or continue to be. The Peruvian paintings are fabulous. It was fun "shoppping" with you through all of these wonderful spaces. And that gelato sounds divine!!! xx Suzanne
Debra- The panel was from Peacock Park Designs and the gelato was over on Lovers Lane! (not at market!) Glad to have your comments, your blog is great....I do love using sod in tablesettings!
Fun post, and wonderful photos. What did you see that really surprised you? That may point to new trends...

The floor mat and the caramel gelato are my favorites. But I must say that if I knew the visit would end with that gelato I would have rushed through with only one goal in mind! Thanks for the peek at the new trends. Hope you had a fun 4th, Theresa.

The Indian purses and the salted caramel gelato - I could not have resisted!
A plethora of choices here, though no choice when it comes to the Gelato...that is a MUST-HAVE!
