Easter in London was quiet (!). It was a rare treat to walk down Piccadilly without a crowd. I had intended to soak up the trendiest interior design ideas in the big city, but many of the shops were closed. Of course, you can pick up ideas anywhere, so I kept my eyes open in restaurants and other places. I'm becoming increasingly aware of the use of raw wood as an interior design element, which I could see in many restaurant interiors and shop windows.
