5:43 PM furniture blog, interior design, Mad Men No comments

After a hiatus, Episode 1, Season 5, of "Mad Men." began last Sunday night after. The LA Times has an article on Don Draper's new digs.

It's June 1966, and though Draper (played by Jon Hamm) might be a newlywed, he's traded in his dreary digs from last season for an Upper East Side spread complete with serious bachelor pad trappings.

The article gives us a peek at how set designers achieved the look and feel of the mid-60s in Manhattan. Love the show!

NY Times Designs For the Digital Age

9:14 AM No comments

I covet the iPad, iPhone and iMac. I want to be all Apple. I have just read the NY Times' article Designs for the Digital Age via my friend Marsha and I see how how these three Apple devices are changing the designs of furniture. Here are three examples:

In recent years a number of furniture designers have been struggling to adapt to new forms of technology and the proliferation of devices like the iPad, e-readers and ever-thinner flat-screen TVs. Pictured, Jonas Damon’s Alarm Dock for Areaware turns an iPhone into a nightstand alarm clock.

The Dyvel Table by Silva/Bradshaw does away with drawers altogether; for many people, computers have all but eliminated the need for paper file storage.

The Scene XXL Chair from M2L has an optional tablet table and an upholstered high back for privacy when typing or making phone calls.

Unique Table with Natural Grass in The Middle by Emily Wettstein. I'm sure you would be interested when I first saw this table because of its unique design and a little weird. This is caused by a series of beautiful grass in center of this casual table. The design is elegant and simple tables are made from reclaimed walnut growers are equipped with green grass that runs through the middle. Grass and plants can you replace with other plants that you want.
So for those of you who have a hobby collection of plants, then this table could be an alternative choice of furniture of your home, because it can beautify your home room with a touch of nature.

Kid Safety Comes Before Skiing

6:20 PM furniture blog, interior design, LEED Certified No comments

Part 6

Before leaving for a long weekend skiing Whistler in Canada, John needed to check in with his clients. He needed to make sure that all the security concerns were being met in the new residences and condos where he’s hired as a consultant. One of his jobs as a LEED consultant is to make sure his buildings are healthy and safe for occupants. He makes sure that there are handrails in bathrooms, that windows have screens that can’t be moved by babies, that paints are used that emit low or no VOCs. One of his recent jobs has been to make sure the kid safety and pet gates are installed and installed properly.

There have been some big changes in safety gates and one of his clients, Kidco Gate Shop., has redesigned their baby gates without squares or diamond mesh that can be climbed by precious little ones. Kidco was one of the first to make metal safety gates for doorways and stairways. Now, they offer self-closing gates. Imagine, you're a young mother carrying one child with another in tow, trying to protect your children’s safety while wrestling with the old wooden gates at the top of the stairs.

John has his reasons for liking his job. When he was four, he fell against the stove that warmed his house. It burned his right arm below the elbow so badly that the scar was still visible in college. Today’s homes would likely use a hearth gate to avoid childhood accidents.

“John, will you be able to relax while we’re skiing?”

“Yes, Rachel. My clients are all happy. Let’s hit the slopes!”

It's March... but feels like Summer! Time for picnics and al fresco living

I can't believe how great the weather has been this week. It's only March, but today the temperature went up to 20 degrees Celsius at least. It's the North East of Scotland here, folks, so that IS extraordinary. July last year saw temperatures drop closer to 10 degrees. Climate change? It might be - which is bad - but I can't help but having really enjoyed a bit of warmth and the idea of living somewhere hot for once.

All this sunshine has really got me in the mood for outdoor living, picnics and generally lounging about in the garden, beach or park. I thought therefore today I collect some great images that give us some ideas to do it in style. Think lanterns...vintage picnic cases, retro table cloths...lovely tea sets.
