Laid-back local style

I posted previously here about a restaurant that I went to where the decor was so appealing. The restaurant is owned by a Capetonian interior designer by the name of Salome Gunter. I have found some more images of her work to show to you. She has a very relaxed French eclectic style and creates such unpretentious and livable interiors.


These slipcovers look as though they are made from old French tea towels or mangle cloths. I love the humble old school bench paired with the Persian carpet.

This setting is wonderful in its simplicity


A bedroom with a very French country flavour


I love the soft green of the island, the ceiling and hanging pot rack.


The muted colours in this bedroom are so peaceful
 


Chequered floor, striped bench cushions and cafe tables make a very inviting combination


This rustic French farmhouse style is just perfect (via Elle Decoration)


The bathroom of the same house and ....

...the kitchen. Aren't those rustic beams and exposed attic amazing?


This picture and the few following are from her weekend cottage. So simple and pared down. (via SA House and Leisure mag)

I hope you are all having a lovely and relaxing weekend.

Till next time
