After a week of far too much work and too little time to play I’m finally back to blogging and want to share this amazing home in Cape Town with you which I discovered via one of my favourite online magazines EST.

It’s the home of make-up artist Algria Ferreira-Watling who by her own admission comes from a poor background and never dreamt of living in a palace. She says she has never needed things but instead has always wanted to live in a little house with the peaceful feel of a monastery.

A truly admirable and humbling approach to decorating, interior design and styling and in fact to the rest of the world’s drive to consumerism. Her place feels very Zen like and utterly calm and pure with bare walls and floors in a muted earthy colour palette.

Looking at her place made me take a step back and remind myself that less is more. *Sigh* but I do so like some new shoes…
