PWID Heads West: Inside the Western Design Conference

For the second year in a row, Paige went out West to attend the Western Design Conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We love working with clients local to Middle Tennessee, but continuing to learn about diverse styles, meet with new vendors, and network with some of the country’s most talented makers helps our team best serve our clients back home (and the stunning location in the foothills of the Tetons certainly doesn’t make for a shabby work day). 

The Western Design Conference isn’t just for designers – it’s open to the public to discover the best in Western home design, art, fashion, jewelry and more. The show brings together artists, scholars, collectors, designers, architects, and fashion experts to learn and grow throughout a weekend exhibition. 

This year, Paige partnered with Kelly Maxwell Designs and Little Branch Farm, an incredibly skilled Middle Tennessee maker who designs and builds exquisite wooden furniture. While Kelly filled his booth with jaw-dropping handcrafted pieces, Paige “brought the color” to the booth by adding pillows from her new collection, Paige’s Pillow Party

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Kelly and his team for winning Best of Show for an incredible table

Check out some of our favorite finds and other highlights from the conference through our photo journal.
