HIGH POINT TOUR No. 2: THOMASVILLE

Ok, let's be honest here people. I can't remember the last time I thought of Thomasville as a source for my clients or myself. The stigma attached is matchy, oversized, too much ornate wood collection. Right? But guess what? We're wrong. After two seconds in the showroom I realized that Thomasville has had  a serious facelift. Piece are more streamlined, forward thinking and stylish than they've ever been. Case in point...

I loved this newer collection (appropriately named Reinvention) that brought a more industrial elements to their pieces. Perfect for urban loft living or a modern cabin, with interesting detail like these handles they created that were inspired by their old factory pieces.

And on the extreme opposite end, there were some soft, elegant designs that felt very vintage inspired...

Loved these bookcases with the built in lighting and that little detail at the top that gives a hint of a pagoda feel. The combination of drawers and shelving makes them incredibly versatile and functional on top of all that beauty.

Another side of Thomasville I hadn't seen were their selection of headboards - and as someone who is seriously on the hunt, I have to say I was impressed! This was my favorite. Contrast piping and tufting? Heck yeah!

And for those of us who look for something simple and classic, the Modern Theory line that was introduced last market really drew me in...

So... what do you think? If you saw these pieces in a home, would you ever guess they were Thomasville? I think I've certainly had my eyes opened to their new look!

  1. Wow! I love a lot of these pieces. I haunt Craigslist for vintage Thomasville pieces - these look like they are a return to the look and feel our Moms/Grandmas remember.

    Love, love, love!

  4. Industrial chic! Can't believe they're from the T.Ville...almost reminds me of that early 2000 phase J.Crew went through before Jenna got her hands on them...the creative direction is right on point with what clients crave today...great coverage!

    Wow! So nice to see this "reinvention" in the Thomasville brand. I have to confess that I was one of those matchy match people and I have a Thomasville bedroom set to prove it. But now I know better and, while the wood work is beautiful, I often long to incorporate some different pieces. I'll be checking them out for a new nightstand and some larger pieces for our living room. Love the vintage industrial look!

    Yes the styles are nice but the quality is no longer there since everything is now being manufactured over seas. Do your research before you buy, lots and lots of complaints about the poor quality of the new pieces. No longer made in the USA. If you want good Thomasville buy the vintage pieces.
