The 2018 Olympic Winter Games I

t’s time to go for the gold as we get ready to cheer on the world’s finest athletes in PyeongChang, South Korea! That’s right, the 2018 Olympic Winter Games begin February 9th and run through the 25th, bringing the nations together on ice and snow.
f you love the world of Don Draper and Mad Men – minus the cigarette smoke and misogyny – then you’re probably mooning over a mid-century modern aesthetic.
The architecture and design is typically defined as the 1950s and 60s period and brings with it an unmistakable mood. The war was over, the country was in a race to the stars, and Elvis was shaking things up. Home architecture and design reflected these futuristic and fun trends with clean lines, geometric patterns, plus colors that took their cues from nature. Some key elements found in mid-century homes were large windows and sliding doors, flat planes and sharp angles, and varying elevations between rooms by utilizing small steps or partial walls. Whether you’re lucky enough to have a home from the era and want to decorate accordingly, or you’re in love with the distinct design and hope to incorporate it into your existing 21st Century house, we’ve got you covered! The mid-century urban look has never been hotter and you’re sure to find everything from the ubiquitous Eames-style chair to a Sputnik-inspired light fixture in your favorite store or online. Here are a few tips to send you back in time: Color – Begin with a neutral shade then make your room pop with furniture and accents in the defining hues of avocado green, burnt orange or mustard yellow. Patterns – Wallpaper, rugs and pillows covered in geometric designs, modern deco or those inspired by the atomic age will strike that perfect note between the past century and this one. Be as bold or subtle as your tastes run! Furniture – How low can you go? Mid-century furniture makers went for low profile seating and tables with tapered legs and clean lines, often with an ergonomic nod to Scandinavian design. Accents – Here’s where it’s easy to put your personal stamp on the mid-century room. Use metal, ceramic, or glass to decorate, but be careful not to clutter. Remember to include natural materials like exposed wood, succulents and plenty of natural light where possible. Due to its ever-increasing popularity, you can find mid-20th Century furnishings in numerous home stores and amazing decorating ideas at specialty sites like Houzz.com, HGTV.com or Overstock.com. For you puritans who want a truly authentic look, get out there and hit the thrift stores and antique shops. Or perhaps a favorite aunt has your next mid-century modern treasure stashed in her basement and she doesn’t even know it!

Although the Games began in 776 BC, there was a 1,500-year hiatus until the first modern event was held in Athens, Greece in 1896. A lot has changed since then and PyeongChang has worked hard to bring a new vision to the Games on a unique stage that will appeal to all generations of fans, while enticing new ones. Symbolism Host countries have always put their own creative stamp of pride on the Games with meaningful symbolism. PyeongChang has risen to the occasion with their mascot, Soohorang, an adorable white tiger who will introduce viewers to the festivities. The emblem designed specifically for the 2018 Games has its root in Hangul – the Korean alphabet. The characters represent a gathering place where the elements of heaven, earth, and humans are in harmony, as well as symbolizing snow and ice and the athlete’s stellar performances.
