What is #HPMKT & Why Are We So Excited?

Happy fall! It’s our favorite time of year because of… Designer Disneyworld AKA Highpoint! The PWID design team is going back to High Point Furniture Market again this year & we could not be more excited.

We have worked hard to make this trip happen again. Yes, it serves our creative brains but also helps elevate our education with what’s currently on the market & enables us to create more value for each client project.

But wait, what exactly is #HPMKT?

Here are our favorite highlights from last year at Highpoint! Imagine a day at Disney and all the things you want to accomplish & see…

  • Each day, our Designer Backpacks are loaded with most unexpected things: Goodies from every showroom including tape measures, pens, pencils, notebooks, and of course champagne & cookies.

  • We love seeing, sitting in and touching furniture we have selected for client projects in person, it brings us so much joy.

  • Seeing beautiful lighting in person & installed in all the showrooms helps us make better selections per project for the best custom look.

This year we are excited to learn about:

  • New items on the market & innovations in furniture that is made in the USA, mostly exactly where we are going to be, Highpoint NC

  • Learning how our trusted brands have adapted their methods & business structure with the still remaining major back log our industry is feeling from 2020.

We can’t wait to share our experiences this year with you! Follow along in our Insta stories the last week of October to see our creative journey & what we will be bringing back with us.

Let's Talk about Our Least Favorite Word "Back Order"

Are you dreaming or thinking about renovating an area of your house, redoing a room, building a new house? Are you preparing for an event, do you have company coming to visit or an upcoming party? If so, it’s never too early to call your interior designer!

how soon do i need to call a designer?

We receive phone calls & emails every week from potential clients looking for help with a project but do not have a good handle on a reasonable timeline or how long the design process can actually take. Trust that your interior designer can be very useful in the very beginning planning stages to set expectations & help create the vision for your family as we wait together.

Design process

Good planning takes time! The beginning planning process on any size job can easily take up to 2-3 months to meet with us, make selections, make modifications to selections, create a budget & quote all moving parts of each job, and keep dreaming together before we even place our first order!

On larger new house construction or renovation projects, we are in it for the long haul, call us up to 1 year+ before you break ground…yes you read that right! We love to be involved in the space planning & floor plan layout process to make sure your floor plans reflect the furniture you currently own (or new) & how your family plans to live in each space. We help you visualize the look & feel of each space at the same time so your vision is actually built in the end. Rather than waiting for your house to be built, then trying to make it yours. Let us help you from the very beginning!

back order dates are subject to change

We are seeing delays (as you have most likely experienced in some aspect of life right now) on the materials & products we spec each & every day. Just one more reason to let us help you come up with the overall plan & design vision before starting any major construction or renovation project….or it will literally drag on forever without that feeling of accomplishment (we need that feeling too!). Listed are just a few major lead times in our world that are becoming more normal that we are good at working around:

Window treatments / 6-8 weeks

Upholstery / 20 – 30 weeks

Kitchen / Appliances: 9-12 months

Cabinets / 12-15 weeks

You are not alone in your project when you work with us! We enjoy this crazy design process & you should too.

LOVE What You Do

February has been all about love, which for us means loving what you do every day. If you love what you do, it becomes an extension of yourself. The words of Susy Holman summed it up perfectly by saying the following: “business is a spiritual pursuit. I believe that for so many of us, our work is an extension of who we are. The wildest results have come when my work & my spirituality collide with what “I do” and how I make a living.” The goal is to carry that passion of what you do each day because it will drive you to a point that it becomes a part of who you are. It may not come easy, but the journey of finding that love is worth it. Find that passion, let it carry you & look forward to who you become from it.

Here at Paige Williams Interior Design, we LOVE what we do by making it our mission to help people connect to their spaces and find their own vision as we believe a good environment can elevate happiness and change our lives. We transform how our clients feel, function, and live in their spaces so they have the tools to thrive. We strive to touch hearts, change minds

Bringing Our Passion to Life

What we love and value is a well designed space for each client and this Scullery has all the design details. In this particular house, the existing laundry room and office space off from the kitchen did not work for this growing family. We discovered early on that the wife loves to bake and bake cakes for special occasions for family & friends (and they are good!). We were able to give her a special space to allow her creations with all the design details we could think of to better her baking experience. So, we transformed the non-functioning spaces to become her Scullery! Check out the before, during & after process photos to see this space come to life!

Boss Babes & Nonprofits

Babe [beyb] n.: A person who assumes positive intent, goes out of their way to uplift others and focuses their personal energy on growing what is good in the world.

Paige enjoys uplifting other women by donating this past year to nonprofit organizations such as YWCA & SheJumps. YWCA Re-new is a program located in Nashville and Middle TN with a mission to help by “Empowering survivors of domestic violence by giving them a beautifully furnished home and a new beginning. In addition to furniture donations, dedicated volunteers provide a pantry full of food and stock refrigerator staples prior to the move-in date at each Re-New apartment”. At YWCA there is another program of Dress for Success that strives to “provide professional clothing, a network of support, and career developments tools to empower women to succeed”.

Lastly, there is SheJumps which focuses on young women. “Inspiring people to jump beyond their limitations, we help women and girls take risks in the outdoors to enable them to break through fears and internal/external barriers in life so they can grow to their full potential.” Biking is one of the activities performed at SheJumps, which is held special to Paige’s heart as she too enjoys biking in her free time!

Strive to be a ‘Boss Babe’

Essentially, a ‘Boss Babe’ is a confident, capable woman that is empowered to cultivate what’s good in themselves and those around them. How can one achieve this? By pursuing their ambitions while inspiring others with their work ethic and outstanding work they produce! So, here’s to all babes around and remember:


BE CONFIDENT ~ BE COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN ~ LIFT OTHERS UP

PS- It’s our very own Boss Babe’s Birthday this week!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAIGE
