India Hicks at Home

As a followup to yesterday's post on Hibiscus Hill in Harbour Island, I thought it might be fun to see the interiors of India's home.

I've seen her home featured in the past and was able to find a few images for your perusal..........her style at home is very casual and relaxed...........a perfect Island lifestyle.  It's a home full of family history via photos, books, art, tablescapes and mementoes.

A well lived home and life.

Enjoy!

India and Domino.











The Mountbatten tester bed named after India's grandfather.  The floor tiles are Cuban and brought to Nassau in the 1950s.  The wall art pieces are hand colored bird prints from 1820.

The Charmed Life of India Hicks at Hibiscus Hill

The current issue of Traditional Home features the charmed life of India Hicks whose life on Harbour Island in the Bahamas is nothing short of heavenly.

India, as you will remember, was the 13 year old bridesmaid to Princess Diana and the goddaughter of Prince Charles.  Her mother, Pamela, is the daughter of the late Lord Mountbatten and her father was the renowned British designer, David Hicks.  Quite a legacy.....

India has not rested on her laurels, though.......after spending years modelling, she and her partner moved to Harbour Island in 1995 and established a very enviable lifestyle........besides her wonderful homelife with five children, India has spread her wings in many directions and is known for her home decor designs (on HSN), furniture designs, jewellery, fragrances, books she has authored and has her own shop in Harbour Island called The Sugar Mill, which I visited a couple of years ago while vacationing on the Island, and owns a hotel!  Imagine!

The following images are exterior shots of her fabulous home.

Enjoy and have a great day!
