Furniture Market 2012: These are a few of my favorite things!

As promised a few days ago in my Furniture Market Trends 2012 blog, here are a few of my favorite new items that were showcased!

Last Market, we saw an occasional table set from Homelegance with THIS top to the tables! (The coffee table is shown). It's a dark wood frame with inset, staggered acacia wood blocks, and a center contrasting block, all under glass.

It's been a VERY popular collection, so they have now put a dining table that matches into production!

I love this top, as it is so unique yet can work in many different applications.

This new bedroom set from Artisan Furniture proves that you can be "Rustic" or "Southwest" style furniture without being the expected natural pine finish!

Made of mangowood solids and birch veneers, the set boasts underbed storage (who DOESN'T want more storage...?!?!) and custom forged iron pulls.

Made of solid pine and birch veneers, this console table is FULL of character! It's a knockoff of a much, MUCH more expensive furniture line's piece. Note that the "X" detail carries over to the sides of the piece, as well!

It's something different than what you would normally see in a console table, yet still timeless and classic in design.

Klaussner Furniture showed this sofa in a light tan fabric at Market, and it was AMAZING! Not as much my flavor in the gray fabric. Button-tufted, classic shape and sooooo comfortable!

Klaussner allows you to pick from 400+ swatches and custom-build your sofa - it takes about 6-8 weeks to produce. This one runs from $730+ depending on fabric selected.

In response to Serta's best-selling iComfort mattress, which combines the comfort of Memory Foam with a layer of cooling gel, nearly all mattress lines released a knockoff. We checked at least half a dozen, and our favorite for specs AND cost is from Ashley Furniture!

The iAshley mattress comes in 8", 10", 12" and 14" heights.

An 8" iAshley Queen Mattress runs about $1200, and should be available in a few weeks!

One of the only complaints with Memory Foam mattresses is that they tend to retain heat for "hot" sleepers. Problem...? SOLVED!

That's just a small sample of what we viewed at Market - all items are available for us to order, so if something caught your eye, please let me know!
