I am loving these pictures from House & Garden magazine (1952, 1953 and 1954) found in the Condé Nast store. Despite the evolution of styles during the last 70 years, they show how chic living really is timeless.

The perfect reading corner
This image I found on Pinterest (via Nina Garcia) summarizes my dream reading corner: calm, comfortabe, with a view and surrounded by books to choose from. And beautiful too. I'll have it printed and added to my real-life pinboard.
What better books to read there than the Penguin clothbound classics that I've already started collecting (Oh what a pleasure to read Pride and Prejudice once again!...)? Or being inspired while turning the pages of these four coffee table books that celebrate beauty, elegance and living a chic or artistic life: 1. A privileged life, 2. American beauty, 3. Happy times and 4. Life in photographs.

white spaces mixed with patterns
I've always preferred white bathrooms, but lately, I have been rooting for a mix of white and patterns, especially white walls with patterned floors, or patterns in the shower corner. I find that it gives them more personality, while maintaining the pure calmness thanks to the white surfaces. What do you think?
