Spreading some Christmas cheer

Jo and I don’t really decorate for Christmas because neither of us hosts any gatherings nor do we have children. Given our lack of Christmas spirit I thought I would share some holiday decorating with you all as Christmas is only a couple of days away. I scoured some sites and Living Etc. had a selection of festive photos I could not resist. Enjoy! And happy holidays!

Working on a Saturday

Posted on Sat, 22 Dec 2018 by midcenturyjo

You know what I say. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it certainly helps if it’s somewhere stylish and it doesn’t get more stylish than Brit fashion house Casely-Hayford and their Marylebone headquartes by Studio Ashby.

A fun and colourful home in Brazil

Posted on Fri, 21 Dec 2018 by KiM

Before I head out to try and finish my Christmas shopping (ugh I hate doing this last minute!) I wanted to share this home in Brazil with you. Someone emailed us the other day asking for us to show more “real life” homes. I am more than happy to oblige because as much as we all love the idea of living in a magazine-worthy home, it’s not realistic for most of us. This is the home of designer Neza Cesar, care of Casa dos Outros. Fun, colourful, and vivacious. And the photo with her dog made my heart melt.

A modern ski chalet

Posted on Fri, 21 Dec 2018 by KiM

Tip #1 for how to deal with winter (the kind of winter that involves below freezing temperatures and lots of snow): find yourself the coolest chalet to hang out it, and take in the views of the snow covered mountains while standing 3 inches from the fireplace. This place will do just fine. Designed by Laurence Simoncini.
