Deck the Halls Abigail Style

Very excited to announce our Christmas master classes launching mid November. It’s the most wonderful time of year to decorate and pull out all the stops making friends, family and the Joneses super jealous! My sister (coolest florist in town) and I will show you how to transform your pad from ordinary to extraordinary including the most amazing floral arrangements (which you guys get to make should you want), we’ll also be creating phenomenal table settings, showing you how to style mantles and tablescapes along with Christmas tree ideas, scenting your home and tons more. Mulled wine, roaring fires and oodles of mince pies will complement the day.

Spaces as always are limited as it’s held in my pad in East London, to book on line click here, or email the store contact@atelierbypost.com, or call +44 207 354 8181

Happy early holidays hope to see you in November

 

Look forward to seeing

Tripple your lights

Morning I have to be super speedy as due in the store at 5 am so have ten mins to pen this and get dressed up and out! Last night curled up with Miss Maud on an armchair, (wasn’t room for Mung’s and she doesn’t like him on the chair at the same time as her anyways) when I suddenly realised why the lower ground floor is my favourite place in the whole house. I get asked a lot by journalists why and my reply is always the same its because its where we spend the most time, cooking, eating, relaxing but actually last night with the fire gently burning in the grate and not a sound around I realised it was because of the lighting. Tons and tons of soft little pools of light setting such a beautiful glow creates the most amazing atmosphere when the light starts to drop. So many people at this time of year moan and groan about the clocks going back, shorter day light hours not me, this house in particular comes alive when dusk approaches and if you can light your outside like your inside it makes all the difference in the world its literally life changing!

Anyways I counted up the lights, don’t freak when I tell you this but there are 17 yep 17 in the lower ground flower, one chandelier (although I never turn it on), two pendants, two floor and all the rest decorative small table lights some expensive some a couple of quid. Lighting (for all of you who attend the classes apologises to bang on about it again) is the second most transformative thing you can do aside colour. So when you think you have enough lights triple them!

Happy Thursday – off to see a property after our revamp but more on that another time x

Oh and at the airport in Sydney I brought Ugg boats, haven’t taken them off since my purchase they are my new best friend.
