A good sale

In Good Company is having a sale! It is well worth visiting their online store for all sorts of things from party decor, to interior extras (I love the ceramic rabbits) to gift ideas and great things for kids. As if we need an excuse to shop...

Rooms On View Review

I went to Rooms on View at the Sandton Convention Centre on Friday night. It was a great way to spend an evening browsing through some of South Africa's best interior stands with sparkling wine and delicious little snacks in hand. There was lots of inspiration to be found, many great ideas to take home and of course many products to put on your wish list.

I especially loved the Mzansi Collection which is soon to be opening as a store, gallery and restaurant at Sandton Square.

I was also excited to see the newly launched Welcome Home collection which is now available at Boardmans. It is so wonderful to see beautiful, contemporary South African design available on a larger scale.

My favourite was the Design Team Fabrics stand - there fabric wallpaper is some of the best I have seen!

Nap

We are so excited that Nap has arrived in Johannesburg. This beautiful lifestyle store, with a distinctly natural, organic feel is now open at the Bamboo Centre In Melville. Filled with luscious blankets, raw flatware, light fittings, decor objects, photographs and more, this is the perfect place to pop into when browsing for the home.

Delightful Lights

44 Stanley Avenue is one of our favourite spots to browse in Jo'burg. It has restaurants, coffee shops, a bakery, a book shop, clothing shops, and beautiful home decor shops. La Basse-cour is a wonderful find tucked around the corner. The shop’s name is derived from owner Justine’s name, playing on the various ways the word ‘just’ can be used; 'just beautiful' and 'just basic'. It is filled with architectural antiques and reproduction and I could spend hours in their room filled with industrial light fittings, paintings and other little curiosities. While this is their showroom, they also have an online store so now you can shop there from any where in the world!

Getting ready for 2010!

I am so excited for the World Cup, less than 2 months away! We have tickets to the Nigeria-Argentina round 1 match in Joburg. I am planning to host at least one soccer-related viewing party during the world cup - such a great excuse to have some friends over and throw a themed party! I am thrilled with my shopping find today in Clicks - these awesome soccer tumblers. Available with a green or blue silhouette with the soccer ball - and they are only R7 each! Get there soon as I am sure they will sell out really quickly!
