If going to Disneyland is not on your cards this holiday season, then Swarovski can help to bring the Disney world to your home to celebrate the festive spirit. Mickey and Minnie Ornaments by Swarovski will make perfect gifts and decoration for Disney lovers.

The King and the Queen of this enchanting universe are all set to add their charm to your Christmas tree. Dressed like Santa Claus, they are can be dangled from the tree with a satin ribbon or simply placed as a decorative mantelpiece item. Shaped out of intense colored glass, Mickey’s crown dazzles with a Light Siam crystal hat while his feet sparkle in yellow crystal.

Minnie also keeps up with the theme by donning a Santa hat and Rose crystal shoes. Both are priced at $200 each and certainly call for a special place on your X’mas tree. Wish Swarovski would have offered these ornaments wearing crystal studded gloves to up the bling quotient too!

And if you experiencing an urge to splurge further on your favorite character then move on to grab Swarovski’s Mickey Mouse Limited Edition 2013. Priced at $ 8,900, this dazzling cute mouse is slathered with 21, 000 crystals in Swarovski’s exclusive Pointiage technique. Sadly the crystal studded edition of the official mascot of The Walt Disney Company is only available in boutiques and limited to 100 pieces only.

When designers create their own homes, creativity, high-quality and complete understanding of the needs meet in stunning interiors. When Michael Herrman, head of French studio Ateliers Michael Herrman renovated this apartment in the eighth arrondissement of Paris for him and his family, he built their dreams into it alongside historic fragments. The duplex apartment in a late 18th century building spreads over 1,500 square feet, illuminating the owner’s daily lives.

Two maids’ rooms on two different levels were combined into what is now a stunning apartment in Paris’s Place de la Madeleine. This was done by placing a clear glass floor between the two floors, guiding natural light down to the dining area and visually opening and connecting spaces. Three bedrooms are just enough for the family, while the exceptional entertaining spaces preserve historic elegance: “The apartment is based upon the concept of a museum: the original limestone walls and oak beams have been excavated and displayed with archaeological precision.”
