Each year, Pantone and Benjamin Moore select their “Color of the Year” – and this year, we’re not disappointed. Introducing: Pantone’s Living Coral, and Benjamin Moore’s Metropolitan.

We love the serene elegance of Metropolitan – a new neutral for any room in your house.

From all of us at CMFTO, thank you for a wonderful year.  We will return on January 3rd. Until then, may the joys of the season be yours.

All my best,
Claudia

Bar carts (or trolleys, as they say in the UK) are back, but do you know the story behind them? Here’s a little history of the famous drinks vehicle for you to share at your next cocktail party.

If you’re like us, right around now you might be thinking of how you’re going to wrap the piles of gifts you’ve ordered from amazon in the next few weeks.
