Modern Upholstery Company

The Modern Upholstery Company, 1101 Greensboro Road, offers these brightly colored rugs. As our county prepares for the Fall 2009 International Furniture Market, many businesses, small and large, hope to attract buyers from all over the world. Market dates this fall will be October 17-22 and the venues are many. 

High Point's furniture industry began in 1889, with the opening of a furniture factory. The first Southern Furniture Market, located in High Point, opened in 1909 and, according to the market timeline, attracted over 100,000 guests for Spring Market 2006. The International Furniture Market in High Point, North Carolina, is famous for its southern hospitality, quality furniture, great selection and bargain prices. 

Before this fall's show, we'll share some iconic pictures, like the furniture pieces that are several stories tall; however, this bright rug display got us in the "market mood." The color just pops out of nowhere. Needless to say, we pulled off the road and grabbed this shot. Usually we share our photos as they are taken without much enhancement or cropping.Today we worked with the color, clarity, & temperature a little bit.

I like how you messed around with this . . . it caught my eye on the portal. I so wish I lived closer to Highpoint every time I need to purchase furniture.

Love all this color... and the sort of dream-like feeling.

Great colors. Nice editing, or whatever you call what you did to create this water color look. Reminds me of those outdoor fabric markets in Egypt.

You took this photo and really turned it into something special with your effects - it's dazzling! Very eye-catching.
