Hadley Court readers: beginning this Sunday, July 27 and running through Thursday, July 31, I will be attending the west’s leading semi-annual wholesale trade-show for the furniture, decor & gift industries, known as the Summer 2014 Las Vegas Market. The World Market Center Las Vegas is an integrated home and hospitality furnishings trade complex, filled with permanent & temporary showrooms in Las Vegas. The state-of-the-art three building campus showcases furniture, decorative accessories, gifts, lighting, area rugs, home textiles, mattresses and related items – all housed within five million square feet.
In today’s post, I am sharing with you some of the must see events + design happenings and, if you see me there, please be sure to come up and introduce yourself if I don’t already know you! I won’t be there the entire time, though, as I will also be attending The Interior Design Camp program, too, which Leslie Hendrix Wood first attended two years ago.
Sunday morning will kick off Summer Market Week with a “grab and go” breakfast on the run in the Campus Courtyard – and it truly is on the run because everyone is trying to get their badges, sign-in and head off to tour showrooms and make their buys! By 10am Sunday morning, Julie Smith Vicente will host LVMKT’s “First Look” designing duo of Ron Woodsen and Jamie Rummerfield of Woodsen and Rummerfield’s House of Design. The “First Look” presentation is where selected industry tastemakers will be speaking about current trends in color, decor, and tabletop, with a photo opp + easy meet and greet at the end of the presentation. Ron will return later in the day for a Tastemaker Tour from 4-5 of Building C.
If attendees miss the tour with Ron on Sunday, they will have a chance to catch the tour again with lifestyle blogger Joy Cho of Oh Joy! on Monday, or with designer Dallas Shaw on Tuesday.
Tour showrooms – buying and trend tracking. Wear comfortable shoes and be sure to have your devices fully charged and ready for the day!
Designer guest appearances.
Later Monday afternoon will be a ‘Behind the Design of NBC’s “American Dream Builders”, hosted by two popular HGTV designers – Erinn Valencich and Monica Pedersen – at 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm in Building B, 16th Floor, WorldView Ballroom
A seminar called “Ahead of the Curve”, includes a panel consisting of design book author and frequent Today Show guest, Susanna Salk, on the left in the picture above, with top designers Timothy Corrigan, Michelle Nussbaumer and Thom Filicia, – followed by a Meet and Greet book signing with Susanna, Timothy and Thom – all happening at the Safavieh showroom, located in, Building A, A101 on the #LVMKT campus on Tuesday, July 29 between 10 am – 11:30 am.
Below are a few selections of design styles attendees and those following the #LVMKT hashtag on Twitter will find and see at the World Market Center Las Vegas showrooms…

Besides the seminars, book signings, and trend presentations plus market tours, attendees will be excited to see showroom presentations for product lines such as Lexington, Stanley, Homespun, Noir, and Gabby Home – just to name a few. The Gabby Home showroom is new to the Las Vegas World Market this year, having just launched their 400o sq. ft. permanent showroom earlier this year during January’s Winter Market.
Since then, Gabby Home has redesigned their brand logo, presented their brand at High Point Spring Market – and now will be joining forces with us for our second #TimelessDesign Giveaway! I’ll be attending #LVMKT and can’t wait to visit the Gabby Home Showroom and see the fantastic CAROLINE Chest, which will be our #TimelessDesign giveaway prize here on Hadley Court, starting tomorrow, Thursday, July 24! For all the details to enter our giveaway, come back tomorrow for our launch post with the live link!
