Jersey Ice Cream Company

July 18, 2014

Jersey-Ice-Cream-Company-17

Came across this site called Jersey Ice Cream Company, who do the complete opposite of what their name suggests (already I like them). Now at first glance you would think that I was going to show you drool-worthy pictures of creamy, creamy ice-cream, but instead I’m going to show you the cool transformations that the 2 ladies who run this interior design studio have come up with. Yip, they take boring looking rooms and make them into something special and pretty damn awesome, according to me. Below are before and after shots of some of the spaces they have worked on. Love all the reclaimed wood and the idea of keeping some of the original textures in the room, like the exposed wallpaper, flooring, concrete walls and ceiling beams. Also love the black and white kitchen, if you’re looking for design inspiration for a non-traditional revamp, you’re going to like this post, but if beige tiles, off-white walls and anything tinged Tuscan is your thing, then rather give it a skip-a-roo.

6 months and 1 week

26-week-baby-scan

So I’m 6 months and 1 week into my pregnancy, yesterday I went to see my doctor for another scan and he was happy with everything that he saw. Our little Shangie weighs 887 grams and she was busy scratching her ear when we were checking her out for the first time. I know it’s only a blurred black and white figure on the screen, but to me she is just so damn cute. If I see a hand or a foot or her scratch her ear I feel like I’m looking at the most amazing thing in the world.

This morning I’m doing a bit more running around for our new place, collecting a few things for our bathroom. And to keep in the house spirit I thought I would show you another beautiful home that I came across online. All the white walls, white wooden floors, big windows and moulded ceilings make me so happy. You don’t come across many apartments like this in Joburg, wish we did, I would snap one up in a second.

Cool spaces: Cool apartment in Paris

July 15, 2013

Found this sweet little 103m ² apartment in Paris designed by architect and interior designer Grégoire Lafforest. I mean how rad is the little greenhouse kitchen? I want to marry the crap out of it. I know that makes no sense, but whatever. I also like the spots of yellow here and there and the wallpaper which creates little points of interests. Such a cool space designed in such a cool and fun way.

Japan you beautiful beast, I’m going to miss you.

Yes I’m back from amazing Japan, I have been there for the last 12 days so I’m super sorry for the lack of posts around these parts. But I’m back now and ready to show you guys some of the amazing places I went to.

I’m not sure how many of you have been there before, if you have gone then you will now what I mean when I say that Tokyo is truly one of the best cities I have ever visited and Japanese people are one of a kind in terms of how friendly and accommodating they are. I couldn’t believe how no matter what time of the day you went into a shop or restaurant (and things stay open late), everyone was always friendly and attentive. The city is clean and no matter who does what it always looks like they take their jobs and positions very seriously and complete them with the utmost pride.
