Holiday Warmth

Warmest Holiday Wishes. All the best in 2010. Until then...

Robots Wallpaper

I am absolutely infatuated with tin toy robots. A well thought out collection of antique toy robots can add instant style, pizazz and whimsy to many contemporary spaces. I also like the robot as a motif on this wallpaper. It's fun, silly and would make a terrific design statement in a child's room. This hand-printed wallpaper was designed by Aimee Wilder and is available here.

Conversation Piece

These quirky and very odd bird feet are cast in pewter and given a matte gold, matte black or darkened silver finish. For just $20.00 this pair of bird feet would be a decorative accessory that is sure to strike up a conversation. They are available on the Rare Device website.

Frost Make-Up Table

A lady's boudoir would not be complete without the perfect make-up table. Here is one of my favorites. The Frost Make-Up Table from Lona Design in Toronto is a lovely composition of Mahogany, metal leaf and glass.

Club Chairs.

While they could not be more opposite in style and theme, these two club chairs from the current Ralph Lauren 2009 Fall-Winter Home Collections are just beautiful. The Indian Cove Lodge Club Chair, (above), is pitch perfect with elegant floral and geometric details that accentuate the chair arms. The nail head trim is a lovely finishing touch. The sleek City Modern Leather Wrapped Chair, (below), is simple and sophisticated. The leather-wrapped frame makes the construction of this chair very exciting.

Little Bird

This delightful little bird is quite simply a soy sauce container that is hand decorated and made of fine bone china. It's a fun and whimsical detail that may be used at almost any table setting. It is available from Alessi.
