I wrote about the start of our our courtyard make-over a little while ago – since then I’ve been looking for a way to incorporate more greenery into this space. That was easier said than done, particularly since our courtyard is very hot and dry, and Cape Town is in the midst of one of…
Does anyone else really struggle with making bold design choices? I’ve wanted to paint a feature wall in our living area for ages, but I’ve really battled with committing to a plan! Which is silly, considering that we could realistically paint over any disasters. So, when Prominent Paints contacted me a little while ago about…
I love finding local online stores that have original and reasonable items. I came across Stowe & So towards the end of last year, and I immediately added some of their items to my Christmas wishlist!

We’ve just passed the two week mark until we move into our first home, and the excitement is building! I couldn’t believe my luck when I heard that Decorex Cape Town would be held the weekend before we move, talk about good timing. I’ve been to Decorex in previous years, but this year I’ll hopefully…
