Coveted Crib: Midcentury Neutrals in Camden

This lovely light-filled house in Camden, England is heavy on the midcentury furnishings, but its neutral and soft blue palette and Georgian architectural details prevent it from looking like a tear sheet from a 1950s shelter pub. Fabulous natural light, a living room and bathroom opening out to a balcony, and a roll-top tub are some of my most coveted features, but I'll take a Barcelona and a Swan chair any day. To take a tour of the pad, check out this slideshow. Source

Crave Worthy: Jo Ellen Designs Hooked Rugs

Jo Ellen Designs Hooked Rugs ($290–$766) hand-hooked rugs are made of 100 percent wool in Camden, Maine, and 10 percent of her profits go to charity. Her designs, which feature florals and animal life such as deer, foxes, and rabbits, are whimsical yet elegant. Her broad color selection offers something for everyone. Although these hooked rugs are perfect for traditional and country homes, I think they would add charm to many a midcentury modern home, perhaps topped with an Eames rocker. Would you lay one in your home?
