The West coast of South Africa is not to everyone's taste. It can be quite windswept and desolate in places, but it's remoteness and unspoilt charm really appeals to me. This house with its rustic stone walls and simple furnishings suits its environment perfectly.
It looks like the type of place where you can really escape the rat race and rediscover the simple pleasures of life.

Staying with things local, I visited Decorex this morning with my good friend Niki - what a pleasant way to spend a morning!
It isn't easy to take decent photos because of the lighting and the crowds, but here are just a few things that caught my eye.
Lighting....
...beautiful....
....and unusual!
Interesting accessories....
....gorgeous furniture....
... new life given to old things...
and a stove to lust after!
Don't miss out - 3 more days to go!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
Till next time

ReplyDeleteHi Sharon...I am SO smitten with that beach house, love the rustic coastal vibe, the views from every window, its so peaceful and knowing its more remote makes it all the more appealing!
ReplyDeleteAs always, your posts are loaded with inspiration, Sharon.
ReplyDeleteI love the blues of the beach cottage!
I recently brought home a several old crates and mini pallets from a tulip farm that is closing near our home. I like the idea of stenciling them. I will likely keep them outdoors, and arrange them in the garden or conversation area.
Welcome back!

Sharon,
ReplyDeleteThis simple stone cottage is so appealing. It holds promise of hours of relaxation. I've always wanted a stone wall in my house. The view certainly seals the deal.
Happy Friday.
