It’s 4:59, the clock hands are slowly ticking away the moments of time until you can escape your 9 to 5 routine and slip into something more comfortable.
Cut to 5:25…
You are at home on your plush down sofa, cocktail in hand, listening to your best friend dish about the latest celebrity gossip as you both nosh on homemade crab cakes & crudite.
In 2008, this scene may have played out in a fabulous booth at Café Eau. But alas, we are in a recession and have learned that for the price of one great martini at a bar, you can get almost an entire bottle of vodka and have a similar experience at home.
The 50’s era routine of having an après work drink in the formal living room while dinner is cooking is coming back in full force. This trend coincides with homeowners’ desire for beautiful & functional furniture and entertaining at home. More people are starting to realize that great furniture is an investment and should last for generations to come
Here are some fabulous pieces to inspire your new environment.
All you need are the cocktails, shaken, not stirred!
