Lynda Reeves


Lynda’s career as a media personality and founder of House & Home Magazine, followed ten years working as a residential designer.

The move to publishing and then hosting Canada’s first daily home show “House & Home with Lynda Reeves” consumed her time for 10 seasons, along with designing nine homes for the Princess Margaret Home Lottery in collaboration with architects and custom builders.

Lynda founded LRDS in 2008 to carry on her design and decorating work, which continues to be her passion. Today she oversees the design work produced by the firm and mentors young talented designers.

Lynda lives in Toronto with her husband, loves to cook, travel and hunt for great vintage furniture, rugs and textiles.
