Happy Holidays!!!

Today is our last day at the studio before the Christmas break and we are as you can imagine very, VERY excited.

 

The decorations are up and the Xmas cards all delivered.  We are ready to start enjoying the holiday season.  This year we wanted to share a bit more of us in our Xmas Card. So, we decided to share our fondest memories, holiday traditions, favourite jingles and must-have holiday treats of the season.

Once a year the time is here!

 

A time to light-up and decorate, to wrap and peel, jingle and shout, so get outside and build a snowman – Get creative, then cozy up by the fire, raise your glass of Baileys and wash down those tasty treats.

 

Makes you wish it was Christmas everyday!…

To decorate the studio we got some Poinsettias to bring the spirit of my culture to Victoria.   Did you know that this flower is originally from México?

Ever greens, roses with some pinecones and mercury acorns set the mood of the season.

The Hudson

Meade Design Group is proud to introduce one of our recent interior design projects at The Hudson Building in Victoria BC.

An international tech company was in need of a suite where their executives could stay in the city without the need to book a hotel.  The requirement was to design a home away from home on a short time line.

 

The executives for this company are mostly men and the inspiration was a masculine lodge blended with mid century modern influences.

Rust oranges, warm wood tones and geometrics add personality to this small space.  For accessories we went for a mix of tribal and industrial elements.

One of our favourite features in the space was the use of a Threads wood grain wall paper in creams and taupes to add texture an interest.  It was also our start point for achieving the lodge aesthetic.  It was accentuated with rough sweater inspired pillows and a warm palate of painted accent walls to offset the building’s standard white interior.

The leather chair brings a bit of the industrial vibe along with the pharmacy inspired lamps.

The space flows seamlessly into the bedroom where a contemporary painting put together the colour scheme and white bedding with embroidered forest keeps the bedroom crisp while maintaining our modern lodge concept.
