In last week’s post I showed you around what I believe to be the finest decor shop in Durban. Now I’d like you to meet the house behind Cecile and Boyd’s talented partner, Johnny Rowe. Johnny is a man I know very well, having had the pleasure of working with him when we had one of our Saint Verde shops on Marriot Road. I don’t think I have ever seen Johnny without a smile on his face, and that goes for his home as well. It’s a happy place. While his store is packed to the rafters with irresistible treasures, his home is an exercise in restraint. I hope you enjoy.

Thanks for more insight into one of my favourite shops and the people behind it!
every time see your blog inspire me the expensive stuffs are not from the expensive raw materials such as gold or diamond, it’s up to the design and the transferring of the good feeling to the users
It simply is all personality! My fav to date!
