Nearly nine months ago, in early September of last year, received an email from the lovely Shannon, Contributing Editor at Design*Sponge, asking if I might be interested in being featured in their Sneak Peeks column. As Design*Sponge is the very first blog in the universe had ever read, was, of course, thrilled. However, the timing was off, as things were in disarray and we were in the midst of moving and travelling, and so, had decided to put the thought off until things had settled a little. Nearly a year later [had been told that some Sneak Peeks have taken as long as two years to complete], and the day has finally arrived . . .


We ended up shooting over a few days, a few months ago already, and invited new friend Jessica [she of spontaneous picnics in the park and elaborate afternoon teas] to help with the styling, both of us spending days entangled in hyacinths and handpainted china, pastel-coloured macarons and books and more books . . .


And so, here, a few photographs from the shoot, as well as outtakes, and some recent instagram snapshots mixed in for good measure, as a preview — [click here] — if you like, for the full tour, and a little glimpse of the place we call home . . .

I loved exploring your home on Design*Sponge a few days ago – I was astonished (although, at the same time – if that is indeed possible – a little unsurprised) to find your home every bit as glamorous as the inspiration that features daily here on your blog.
Mis Roseline, stunning Stunning stunning. Gold and burgundy _ delicious – and those sumptuous curtains and gold chair in your study. ! All the hard work has paid off and beautifully too.
Definitely worth the wait :-)

Your home looks exactly like what I would expect it to (that is: stunning), especially after years of reading your lovely blog. Gorgeous! xo
It is almost impossible to believe this is really your home and not pictures straight out of elle decor. Your bedroom, especially, is beyond gorgeous – I may dream of those drapes!
