It was a happy day being qualified in the field of interior design. Even bought lady heels then saw the amount of people in the hall, totally chickened out and wore flat shoes instead. i would just like to thank my mother, my father, my grandma, the academy and all my fans hahahaha without you this would have been impossible.... my siblings nope nope no thanks to you two, just kidding brother you being awake through weird hours of the night online gaming, oddly made me feel better knowing that there was another human in the house wide awake at 3am and sister your always around for a good laugh, i do mean me laughing at your foolish ways at times.

inspiration for the bakery component

recently i have been looking into the type of atmosphere i  wish to create for the bakery component of my re-use. i stumbled across a interesting little cafe set in a factory in durban. the trusses are exposed, the interior is ruff and raw. decor features old coffee bean grinders, the interior is simple yet effective, creating a warm, comfortable atmosphere.
