Last Friday we decorated our studio for the Christmas season. This year we decided to do a red, different silver textures with a subtle tartan theme a la fashion designer Vivienne Westwood & interior designer Scot Meacham Wood aka Mr.Tartanscot.
Much like our studio we kept it classic with a modern edge. Country meets Scotland with a touch of Meade Design Group (lol)
Little silver chubby birds put the holiday spirit into our Flos Chandelier.
We created a sense of rhythm with 3 arrangements for our meeting table made with fresh pine, pomegranates, and tiny sparkle apples.
A splash of festive colour in our working space. We added some topiaries with ribbon and we create our popular “cheater pillows”. Here is the recipe you just need to add ribbon, double side tape and Chinese silk buttons. A quick fix up for every seasonal pillow.
"More is more" when it comes to our Christmas Trees. Our tree is towering at 9' tall and is filled with over 350 ornaments and 1000 lights.
This year we got new stockings with a beautiful red embroidery detailing.
I found this very innocent tartan teddy bear by Ralph Lauren at The Bay and I just had to have it – It needs a name, Any ideas?
Some chrome twig - style reindeer adorn our book shelves.
To finish our seasonal decor we also got 3 over scale chrome spheres and we hang them in front of our windows. Just to share the cheer with the street.
I hope we were able to inspire you to bring some cheer into your home this holiday season. The secret is to keep it simple, no more than 2 colours, choose one metal either silver or gold and a constant theme throughout and yes, lots and lots of Christmas spirit.
MERRY CHRISTMAS !

Ivan,
Great post and I've noticed this year in our neck of the costal "woods" people have decorated a bit earlier.
Feeling the spirit of Christmas is absolutely about the glittery lights and simplicity of glamour.
Imported chocolates, sparkling wine, great fondues, parties, friends, clients, and family of course!
