I hope you all had a great weekend and are fully rested for the work week. Before i delve into my post, I need to do a few shout outs. Thank you to the Sand O Production ladies for my wonderful teddy bear that i won in their giveaway. Baby Z loves it! Also, thank you to Colourlovers for tweeting yesterday about my pop of colour post. I felt the love:-). Muah!
O.K, so yesterday,after browsing the sneak peek of the September issue of Marie Claire , i headed to their archive section where i found this gem of a house. This gem is the feature today. It is located in Cape Town, South Africa, and is home to the English director Sean Matias. His style is bit African with some European influences. The art collection in this home is quite eclectic too and there are some pieces that are definitely not for the “conservative”. I also love how the homeowner uses colour to define spaces in his home. I hope you like it as much as i do…
I love how this room is organic and modern at the same time! Don’t you just love that purple wall? Shout out to the Zhush.(there’s your purple post :-))
Wassily chairs in white! Cool!
Lovely splashes of pink(with some not so conservative art:-)) I love the translucent factor brought in with the dining chairs. That blue cabinet in front of the pink wall adds some whimsy too.
Splash! The end. xo
Love the white Wassily chairs in the 'gardenroom'.
ReplyDeleteI for sure get the feeling this is a home of a very creative and artistic person.
Color can be really fun and I like it, but have to admit that purple and pink walls are not something you will get to see in my own home no more! Once, when I was in my early twenties I painted my whole 1- room apartment in a rich red color and added a large pink Warhol poster of Marilyn Monroe on the wall. People were chocked!
Nowdays I rather use colorful art on white walls.
Take good care of you!
I LOVE it too. It somehow works with all those different colours and textures. From the outside it's quite classic and then you open the door... Particularly love shots #1, #5, #6, #8, #9... Thanks for sharing, I wouldn't have ever managed to see it. Pxxx
ReplyDeleteSO GORGEOUS! Not only are the colors wonderful, but you get a sense of open serenity - though with a twist (and never boring) - through these photos. Lovely, just lovely.

My favorites were the chairs... I think it gave more character to the living spaces and it made the whole look of the place as tranquil as possible... Such a love place to live in.. =) Nice picks... Africa is such a colorful and beautiful inspiration... =)
