Keep calm and carry on
I was reading through Apartment Therapy 's weekend postings this morning and I came across this kitchen:
Austin-base image designer Alyson Fox opened her home to the editors of Apartment Therapy and I for one, am satisfied of it. It's an thrilling room however what in reality stuck my eye turned into the poster putting to the left of the cooktop. What a super directive for life in preferred and today especially.
It turns out that Keep calm and carry on was a British propaganda poster commissioned in 1939 by the Ministry of Information in the lead up to war with Germany. A couple of souls at Barter Books in London found an original and proceeded to reproduce it and sell it on their website. It's a pretty cool thing all around. A vintage feel, a way to touch history and a firm yet kind directive for every day living. It's a killer combo.
So as we gear up for today's arrival of Fay , let's remember to Keep calm and carry on.
