"Christmas at SMW Design . . . "


Greetings,

We're finally pulling into the proper Holiday season - and I wanted to share a few images I took last night at our new offices here at the San Francisco Design Center.  We moved into our new digs in early October - and we only have a few boxes left to unpack!

After my many years at Ralph Lauren - I truly missed being able to design and install 'windows' for the Christmas season - luckily our new home has a proper window display space - and I've been plotting these window from practically the first day we moved in . . .

It's not quite the drama of the unveiling of the Bergdorf windows . . . but come . . . join in a bit of holiday cheer from SMW Design and SMW Home . . . 


 We are ALL about colour and pattern this year!
An antique Georgian Secretary was the perfect centerpiece for the
window - and the Schumacher wallpaper creates such an amazing, vibrant
backdrop!

I also took advantage of our lovely products from SMW Home
to create something truly special . . . like our Meacham Tartan Decorative


Since everyone deserves some holiday cheer - I wanted to add one of our

I'm still at that marvelous point in creating SMW Home where I've hand-selected
practically every single piece in the collection - from a Vintage Child's Sporran to
an assortment of English Biscuit Barrels - and even a few pieces of framed Artwork.

For the trees ('cause one always needs as many Christmas trees as one can get!) - it was a 
mixture of vintage tartan ornaments with faux flowers and fruit. 

And what window display would be complete without a few pieces of
Antique Tartanware in the mix.  I love this copy of the works of Sir Walter Scott
bound in Antique Tartanware

Thanks for stopping by our wee Christmas display - and I hope you're already having an amazing holiday season!

cheers,
Scot

always.
exquisite taste.
a blend of coziness and complete elegance.
your mom and i are so proud of you! LOLOL!
takes my breath away........
I really enjoy how you've used yellow but still made it feel cosy and full of the vibrancy I usually expect from red and green in holidays displays... I've always liked Elizebthan use of fruits for holidays decor... I always think oranges... but the lemons with the tartan... yes please!

Not crazy about the wallpaper, but it does "young" up the more traditional elements... I suppose I am too much of a traditionalist at heart.... I want my wallpaper and aged and almost crumbling ;) not bright and new and vibrant lines.

COngratualtions on your first window dedicated to your own brand, and may the new year bring many more to come.
