I’m loving this urban rustic movement lately. Rustic on white – a perfect harmony to build character to your home without the clutter. I’m big on visuals, and small on words, let this beautiful home explain this movement to you.
Chris Weylandts has a beautiful eye, and over the years, created the epitome of understated luxury in his furniture curation for his Weylandts showroom. His wine estate has recently been the buzz of Franschoek, and I could not resist but to trek into the winelands and see the beauty myself.
The Maison Estate’s wine is fairly young and have already received recognition by receiving a few wine awards. The Estate, is a quaint farm that doesn’t boast commercial sizes in production. This makes them the boutique wine makers in Franschoek. I was most curious about the décor of the Restaurant – The Kitchen at Maison which was renovated by Van Der Merwe Miszewski Architects, and the décor was of course to the standards to Chris Weylandts.
My expectations were indeed quite high, and upon entering, I was rather intrigued, as the 1900’s cottage establishment was left raw on the outside. However, it’s rough exteriors certainly drew me like a magnet.
How amazing is this place? Like his showrooms, every element of the décor is meticulously placed.
I soaked this beauty in, and had a wine tasting in a less conventional way – around a Weylandts dining table 
What a sight to end the week end and what a way to start a new week. Feeling inspired!
Living in Cape Town, the month of September means Spring! The air in spring triggers our minds to start craving for colours. I repainted my nails to a bright coral pink, pulled out all my floral printed dresses and spent the day with a peculiar happy Spring mood.
When it comes to interiors, I don’t go as wild. I love hints of colours in very specific places. This kitchen is the perfect inspiration of using colours in petite ways.
