The model for the drink experience in the Capitol Hill food+drink economy is about to come of age. Happy 18 years to LInda’s — there’s a party planned this week detailed below. Don’t know about you, but when it comes to models throwing birthday parties, we’re usually game. The occasion also brings about the opportunity to take a look inside the Interlaken Park-area home of the woman behind the brand, Linda Derschang:

Derschang describes her style as a “high-low aesthetic.” She isn’t afraid to put an IKEA sofa in the living room with her grandmother’s antique oriental rugs.

“When I find things I love I try to find a place for them as opposed to forcing ‘design,’” she explains. This is evident throughout her home—a mix of mid-century, traditional, Western and contemporary.

More from the real-life Linda’s and a few pictures here.

Meanwhile, the drinky-life Linda’s is ready to celebrate:

Happy birthday, girlfriend.
