View PostStylish Coffee Table Books
Books too pretty to shove in a shelf! Today’s post is all about inspiring ways to style your space with beautiful books. My fave way to style coffee table books, is to pile them on top of one another to create height, and then add a beautiful ornament, candle or small vase filled with flowers on top. They also look really chic in a bookshelf, coupled with matching ornaments or book ends.

I’m on a mission! A mission to add some colour and functionality to my kitchen. When hubby bought me a Le Creuset Whistling kettle, I spotted the Salt Croc (or salt pig as some call it) at the boutique store and was like, “no ways this thing will work in Durban”. As it is, my salt already clumps up in the standard plastic bottle. Then, a couple of days later, I saw it again at another store. The shop owner – who also manages his store (don’t you just love that!) told me that he had a Le Creuset Salt…

View PostStyle your Starches in Apothecary Jars
I have always loved beautiful Apothecary Jars. I don’t know what it is about them, but they are just so pretty. I never knew what to store in them until I watched an episode of Brothers & Sisters that featured Nora’s amazing kitchen and her beautiful display of Apothecary Jars by her window. Since I found a purpose for them, I had been hunting for these jars everywhere and just recently I managed to find two beautiful glass Apothecary Jars. I use one of the jars to store pasta and the smaller one store rice, and they both sit beautifully on my…
