Inspiration from 'Down Under' - Tommy Bahama at High Point

This find from High Point Fall was spotted by our 'artist in residence', reporter of all things color & textile and famed colorist Cathy.  She hand-paints our custom finishes, creates stunning color palettes and has an eagle-eye for pattern, texture and materials in the news.  She wanted to share this collection from Tommy Bahama with you because she says 'it spoke to the artist in her'.  Learn more from Cathy's take on trends from High Point:
Here's a neat brand new group by Tommy Bahama, taking inspiration from Australia down under. Creative Aboriginal patterns on fabrics to decorative nailheads to drawer pulls, lots of textures, natural materials and more.  
The little tabletop was actually branches bundled together and cut horizontally and the dye was allowed to seep into the exposed wood. Once the color was accepted the whole tabletop was treated and sealed in a clear coat, a fascinating story.  These were just a couple of my favorites because they spoke to the artist in me!
