Lynda's Blog

Lynda loves running her interior design business, L Interiors , mostly because she has such wonderful clients (most of which become friends) and partly because it takes her abroad to wonderful places.

Lynda lives in the country – although as she much as she loves it, she’s an ex Notting Hill girlie and couldn’t do it 24/7! Her favourite online stores are GlamOnWeb.com (La Perla), JimmyChoo.com, Hush-UK.com and bbr.com (Berry Bros) because they supply her with the most delicious champagne!

It's All Looking Magical...
Published on Sunday 16th December 2007

In the countdown to Christmas we’re going great guns here to get everything out and delivered for the festive season!

We’ve just completed ‘White Christmas’ for one client. It looks magical and fresh; lighting (my big thing) here is totally reliant on metres and metres of white fairy lights and an abundance of candle lights in storm lanterns .

It’s a very simple thing to achieve the same look with sprayed white glitter twigs, candles, a table wreath of ivy, a string of white fairy lights entwined in ivy over the mantelpiece and finishing touches from the White Company .

Yet again I mention the White Company, but they really have the most wonderful and reasonably priced accessories. Check out the scatter gems , the Egyptian Fine Glass Candlesticks , the Glacier Wreath ... too many to mention.

London looks magic at Christmas. The trees and the lights are stunning; Patisserie Valerie is overflowing with gingerbread houses (I couldn’t resist) and the most appealing Christmas cakes and, if you’re stood outside Harrods as dusk falls you’ll get caught in a snow blizzard... much to the amazement of everyone - just perfect.

So Harrods have cheated on the snow front and now that I’ve discovered Meg Rivers , I’ve cheated on the food front and ordered my Christmas cake from them!

I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas!
