The following images are from the blog, ‘My Shabby Streamside Studio’, and belong to the talented Sandra Foster.  Her pure and simple style is breathtaking, combining white on white interiors with pretty vintage accessories.

Tips on vintage styling:
- Use old medicine bottles as vases, clear glass look best.
- Use old french linen as a tablecloth, embroidered edging looks super cute.
- Hang vintage bags on door knobs or if you have one, on the corner of your metal bedstead.
- Shabby chic some old pine chairs, take a look at our guide on ‘How to Shabby Chic furnitre’.
- White metal bird cages are still a firm favourite, try filling one with tea-lights and hang it above your dining table as a feature light.

I have certainly noticed that Christmas is becoming more personalised and crafty from year to year. The possibilities of how you decorate and style your dining table, gift wrap and trees are endless and provide you with opportunities to take the time to enjoy more than just the food and presents! I recently stumbled across this image of a gorgeously designed Christmas spread, which successfully combines rustic, contemporary, earthy, romantic and beachy styling. My favourite touch is the hanging pine cones! What is your theme this year for the festive season?                                                                                                                                     Image via: Sweet Paul

Hello everyone, I’m afraid it’s been a while since my last post as I have been out of the office for a while, but I’m back and now and have some fantastic posts coming up.

I was in the middle of sorting through some bits at home and whilst doing so, I came across these original needlecraft books from the 1950′s; there seems to be a vintage theme on my blog at the moment!  They belonged to my grandmother, who was crazy about needlecraft, and I think they’re fantastic.  The front cover of the first image is especially interesting as 50′s interiors are so fashionable, people are paying a lot of money to buy original pieces like this; especially the sideboard.  The 1950′s paint swatch card is from Erwinhouse, I thought it would be interesting to see all the colours together.  Most of them are a bit heavy for my taste but I am a fan of the Chelsea gray, I could see this one amongst the Farrow & Ball colours.

Hello everyone, sorry for the lack of posts recently, things have been really hectic with the launch of our new style service, and so blogging has been really difficult.
I thought I would post some pictures from the shoot I styled for Heart Home magazine as we have just received the high res pics.  The magazine launched last month and has been really well received, well done guys and thanks for the front cover! xx

Pippa Jameson Interiors launches a new online interior style advice service, ‘Ask the Expert’.

It’s a very exciting day today as we have just launched our new Online Interior Style service, ‘Ask The Expert‘.  If you need help and advice with your home, decorating problems, furniture questions and general style advice then this will be just right for you.  We are a team of industry stylists on hand to answer all of your decorating dilemmas no matter how big or small.

We see this as an affordable and accessible service that can benefit anyone that is looking for some accurate interior style advice.

The service can be bought directly from the website, launching with an introductory rate of just £38 for an email consultation.  To begin your consultation, simply click ‘Ask The Experts‘ at the top of the home page and follow the instructions.  We guarantee a personal response within 5 working days and are confident that you will like what we say, but, if for any reason you are not entirely satisfied then we will refund your money.

As the previous Deputy Interiors Editor at BBC Good Homes magazine, with over 15 years’ experience in the industry, I wanted to share my knowledge and experience with my readers.
