All about COLOUR


What colour do you dream in?  Skipping through marmalade orange and surreal aquamarine moonscapes or sepia nightmares with long passages of locked doors?  
Colour is not just a light refraction, it has soul, we eat, breathe, live and dream it.  Hues resonate.  They can HUM with their saturation or nudge your senses with their pastel tint.  

Some experts will insist grey, grey and more grey is THE very shade with which you need to be surrounding yourself and your personality.  Newsflash... We NEED colour in our lives.  When the future looks most colourless people have always felt more inclined towards the greener grass on the other side, the rose-tinted outlook, High Definition Technitone,  sunset orange and, well, platinum blondes (!!??).

Do try this at home.

Donald Greig Sculpture


What an incredibly clever addition to the West Quay road en route to the Cape Grace Hotel... Donald Greig (of Charles Greig Jewellers fame) has opened a working foundry for his bronze sculptures.  Ideal pressies but a must for any visiting guests who absolutely have to have a bit of Africa to take home with them.

St Leger & Viney Open Day


Just spent a fabulous morning with the Cape Town St Leger & Viney team at their indent Open Day.  The girls all sporting Sanderson fabric french aprons; delicious catering by 'Kitchen' and inspiration in abundance.

Well done all!

Fly your Colours!

OOOHH I just adore colour.  Be bold!  Be daring!  Take nature's most saturated and inject it into your home's very veins!  

Amazing example by Jeffrey Bilhuber - "kumquat, indigo, pumpkin and claret".
