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 .
This particular project was fairly costly due to a mega amount of white upholstery but it need not break the bank. 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!
