It's Sweet, You'll Like It

I plan to gather / read / absorb and report back on a number of things, these will mostly be design / furniture / decor and travel related, but sprinkled with articles on some things digital or tech. Things I like and find interesting, and hope that you do too. I will do my best to ensure posts are informative, interesting, educational, fun, funny, intelligent, eye-popping, alluring, enticing, attention-grabbing, spontaneous, well-formulated, spell-checked and many more things.

Furniture within furniture .. clever stuff

Apparently I use the word genius to lightly, so I will call this CLEVER!! Furniture within furniture. Chairs and tables are integrated within the shelving scheme.

As If From Nowhere by Orla Reynolds

Both the table and chairs can easily be removed from the shelves and used as required. A true space saver indeed.

This clever concept, with a simplistic, yet beautiful, design by designer, Orla Reynolds

I love when people get creative with everyday objects, this 'Shazam!' coffee table is no exception.

Should any of my carpenter readers have some zebrano wood lying about - I would love two identical 'Bang!' tables. Pretty please.

Funky Scandinavian Dropp! Bowl + VAMP

One day in the near future when I have legions of fans and followers, they will no doubt be looking for ways to show their admiration and appreciation. To those I say, look no further - you can buy me one of these Dropp! Bowls please.

The Dropp! Bowl is from Scandinavian Company menu; one of the many drool-inducing items they design. If you are based in the US, you can buy here.

Staying on local shores, I'm loving this drawer unit from Vamp.

RE-create; repurposed furniture

Myself and a friend, L, found ourselves in Woodstock on Saturday morning, I should add - not at the Biscuit Mill, but rather across the road and came across the most marvelous little store; RE-create.

Dining table / Eco Furniture Design

If ever you are looking for a dining table, like I was recently - definitely add Eco Furniture Design to your list. I came across these guys on Gumtree and bought a beautiful 8-seater, 1.8m dining table on the spot - at a very reasonable price I might add.

VAMP ... re-discovered

Quite some time ago I came across something that I now consider a Cape Town gem; VAMP. Vamp takes mid-century furniture and decor items, restores them and more often than not give their vamp-stamp; i.e. add a twist that give these pieces a new lease on life.
