• The benefits of studying away from home is that you get to physically go to another place for a holiday, a big change from the past few years of studying and living at home.

    So, here's to tea catch-up dates, reading to my heart's content and listening to endless family stories of all the things that happened when I was away.

    It's so good to be home.

  • Currently working on a project that I'm looking at greening internally in a new, unusual way. The "greening" is to be educational and something that the visitors to my Biomimicry Discovery Centre can make. Currently loving these potless gardens which are inspired by Kokedama (moss ball).

  • I sincerely hope I am not the only one who feels this way but of late the weeknds seem to be so short and somehow just merge into my Friday and Monday,e specialy on weekends that I have to work through.
    I'd like to say it gets better but I have heard stories...that is all I can say.


    Enjoy what is left of it.

  • So it's February 2014 and I am realising that I have not blogged since November 2013. Between all that time I finished my BTech Interior Design at NMMU, went on a lengthy holiday to Tanzania with the family, moved to Pretoria and started studying honours in Interior Architecture.

    It's taking a lot of adjusting but slowly AND surely I will adjust. Taking it all as an adventure (especially when the trusty GPS leads you the wrong way into a one way).
    Grateful for the opportunity to further my studies, expand on knowledge and fall inlove with design a little more each day.

    Here's to a new city, new university, basically new everything.

  • Loving the emotional quality that comes through these gesture images.






  • Finding myself more and more fascinated by geometric patterns. Here are some images that I'm loving that have made use of geometric patterns be it literal or as inspiration.

  • Friday evening mellow music love. Something to keep the morale high.

  • Some Biffy Clyro to get Monday started :)



  • Came across this chair while trawling the interweb.
    Love the shape and the nesting feature it has for the stools.

    Oh design, how I love thee.




  • In about 35days 13hours 11minutes and 30 seconds it will be my final design exam.

    Shortly after I present I will be found doing this:


  • Looking at interesting ways and planters that will help to bring a little more greenery into my designed spaces.
    Stumbled across these cuties, thought I would share.







  • Been looking at inspiration for my twin niece and nephews room redecoration mini- project and came across this image. I find the colours used in the image to be quite feminine without making us of the typical bright pinks, red and yellows.





  • For the morning tea and coffee lovers



  • Jill Scott kinda day.
    So little time, so much work to do, thankfully there is more than enough of Ms Scott's music to get me through it.





    Enjoy.
  • I have been stationed behind a computer basically the whole year. Be it working on my treatise or what I like to call CAD-ing my life away.

    Finalising my 3D's for computers and design, slowly surely it's all coming together.

    Here's a sneak peek at two of 3D's of my finalised spaces.


    More later.

  • Remember when you used to make mix tapes, on an actual tape? Technology may have moved on and so has everyone but the idea need not stay in your memories. All you need to do is buy one of these gift packs, add the music to the USB stick, write a message or playlist and give it to a lovely somebody.
