The Fall 2014 IO Metro catalog is out this week, and their team invited us to have a behind-the-scenes peek as they staged and photographed the furnishings and home accessories for this season, many of which are customizable to your own home. It was a home decorating inspiration fest! It was a lot of hard work (5 shoot days at 9 hours each, 18 prep days at 8 hours each, 9 takedown days at 4 hours each, and planning time was about 20 hours!), but they sure looked like they were having fun.

The always-stunning Local Art section now also includes Buddy Whitlock, a self-taught Arkansas artist who finds inspiration in color, and interesting shapes. Have a look at some of his work:

Are you as excited as we are about all of these eye-catching offerings? You can visit IO Metro stores (Arkansas locations include Little Rock, Fayetteville, Rogers, and Jonesboro) to browse and bring the looks into your own home (ahem, they also have free design services if you’re not a diy-er), or you can check out their website and follow them on social media to stay up-to-date on the latest news.
