It’s rare to find such harmony…

It’s nestled (estate agent speak) in the leafy suburb of Fernwood in Cape Town, but more importantly belongs to one of my favourite families, the Gallarellis.

Home Tour – Steph and Maryke
Read moreMy liefste sussie and her husband’s house in Joburg is so rad it deserves a new adjective…ongetasties (ongelooflik + fantasties). It’s in the heart of Houghton but the garden is so big you feel like you’re in a game lodge in the middle of Jozi. They bought the empty plot 5 years ago and finished building in August last year.…

Projects: How to revive old furniture
Read moreI’ve used the word ‘revive’ very tentatively, because in this instance it was more like a severe resuscitation. I found my dream office chair at the side of the road, it belonged to a car guard and the seat was so badly damaged that he covered it with a piece of cardboard to sit comfortably! When I offered to buy…
