AN ADLER CHRISTMAS
I couldn't help but notice "t'is the season to shop!" The streets are busy and the malls are mayhem. The only thing keeping me sane amongst the chaos is my chai tea latte; I couldn't help but squeal with delight when I saw this : Jonathan Adler (RED) card. (oooh, Adler is always delightful!)
Each time you use your (RED) card to purchase anything at Starbucks, they'll donate 5 cents to help fight AIDS in Africa. Check out JoinRed.com
Inspired by the (RED) card and Jonathan Adler, I've put together a few rosy ideas for your holiday gift giving, all of which are from : JonathanAdler.com

George Nelson has got to be one the most recognized and prolific names in mid century furniture design. I have a handful of favourite of pieces, one of which I recently purchased! I've been hunting for months trying to find the exact right thing to put infront of my sofa and I'm very excited to have a Nelson Platform Bench as my new coffee table! Of course it's not an original - that would be to much moolah!
Wondering where I got such a sweet bench? Nood... Now yes some may argue that it's a reproduction, frankly I don't care. I was able to afford something I love and will enjoy for a long time to come. Not to mention Nood is having a fabulous sale, so if there's something you're interested in and you're on a tight budget I'd suggest checking Nood out.

PERFECT
This space is the epitome of a stylish abode. Agghh, it makes me sick with envy! It's minimal and glamourous, warm and cool, cozy and clean. The attention to detail is perfectly divine. What gets me excited about this space is the vintage lines - an ode to the mid-century modern design I adore, but the look is mused with regent glamour which gives the space such rich texture.
Unfortunately these are random photos I saved to my desktop and have no memory of where I found them.

KEEP CALM GALLERY
The Keep Calm Gallery...It's a favourite of mine. I had a hard time narrowing down my top prints, but James Brown seems to be a repeat offender.

A SPOT OF TEA
Who doesn't like tea? If it's good enough for the queen it's good enough for me. But would the Queen approve of Gregory Bonasera's tea cup lamps?
Thank you to the righteous royalty at Kingdom of Style.

OBJECT ORANGE
If you're planning a visit to the Okanagan (maybe checking out the wine festival) you have got to stop at "Object Orange." A store entirely dedicated to the Mid Century Modern Home. Oh swoon, it is absolutely amazing! I just wanted to roll around in all of its' mid century modern glory. The collection of pieces he carries are in amazing condition, of the best quality and totally unique. You'll be able to find some rare gems, and there's more than just furniture, there's art work, jewelry, pottery, electronics and lighting. The prices are right!
There's enough teak, chrome, vinyl, lucite and coloured glass to melt the pickiest of purchasers. You'll find a ton of photos and information on Object Oranges' Facebook page. Object Orange is located at 110 Cannery Lane in The Arts District - Kelowna
