How do you pay homage to classic design, while updating your space? This week, we’ve done just that with our client’s 20 year-old McGuire chairs.

Instead of buying something new, we often suggest repurposing existing items from our clients’ homes.

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

PS: As promised, here are the photos of our festive bar cart from our recent party.

We’ve noticed that certain locations for Goodwill & Salvation Army are at times not accepting furniture. If you are planning on donating items and need a new resource, we recently discovered The Chicago Furniture Bank.

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.
