Just a few more furnishing touches...

and then we're good to go. I am like a kid at Christmas – seriously excited about the official launch of my latest adventure into the blogosphere. For the past month I have been up to my keyboard in trend forecasts, furniture catalogues and interior design website URLs, scouring cyberspace for bits and pieces of content for The Furnishing Touch. 
I love a trend, I love great design and although I'm not an Interior Designer I am an artist which means that I have a keen eye for colour, composition and well-executed mediums... so, providing almost daily content for a fabulous blog, backed by an even more fabulous brand is the kind of work that doesn't feel like work. In short, I am one happy Social Media addict – getting to talk about Twitter and Facebook and blogging as a legitimate part of my day job is a cyberdream come true. 
It's my mission to translate the trends for our readers, breaking down the fancy shmancy industry jargon into bite-sized chunks that you don't need your dictionary to digest. Trust me, while doing preliminary research for The Furnishing Touch I was regularly tapping on my iPad's dictionary icon and going 'huh?'... and hey, words are my living, so if I'm confused... oi vey! 
So, you can expect any time you spend on The Furnishing Touch as time well spent – no frills, just straightforward honest tips, info and pretty pictures, like these recent posts:

The Monday morsel...

Sometimes I simply can't resist a little bite-sized blog post. Every now and then one of my fabulous, gorgeous, ever-so-talented friends does something that is blog-worthy. Today two of the many dynamic women I know – an old friend  from highschool and my sister-in-law – posted stuff that is simply too delicious not to share. Picking up a food theme by my choice of words? Well, there's a good reason for that. Wanna know more? Check out  this website  and look at this blog  because every domestic goddess can do with a little help when it comes to keeping the pantry cupboard  dinner party-friendly. Deciding whether to click on the links or not? There's a lot more where these came from if you do...

Heartbreak comes in

all shapes and size s. Sometimes it's in the form of a spotty 13-year old boy not asking you to slowdance at your first school disco, sometimes it's losing that grandparent who made you feel like the most precious thing since Barbie found Ken, and sometimes, heartbreak comes in the form of a nine-month old, 4-kilogram pavement special puppy called Ellie. This time last week I experienced a new brand of heartbreak, the kind I had never experienced before and would rather not (although it's probably inevitable that I will) experience again. Last Monday, Ellie 'Bean' Winderley – my friend, my companion and my Vitamin Water bottle-chewing, cheese-addicted shadow – set off on an adventure that was to be her last in my world. The details are not important... many tears have been shed wondering 'why?' and wishing that life had a rewind button. What is important is that out of even the crappiest situations there are opportunities to learn... I know I sound a little

True story

Context: My 18-year-old cousin has just moved in with hubby and I for a couple of months while she finds her feet in Jozi. Just had this exchange with her via Blackberry Messenger... Me: Hey cuz. You home for dinner tonight? Cuz: Going for coffee with [insert potential bf name here] at six so I'll grab a bite to eat while I'm out. But thanks for checking beauty queen [smiley face] Me: Flattery will get you everywhere. Have fun. Cuz: What's flaterry ? (yip, spelt just like that) Me: Please tell me you're kidding?! Cuz: No I'm serious Me: [once I've picked my jaw off the floor in disbelief] To flatter someone is to compliment, say something nice. Flattery is usually used as a tool by someone to get summing. And that's the end of today's English lesson. Cuz: Thanks [smiley face] ha ha [ another smiley face] no one in the office knew what it meant either  Note to the education system – just an idea, but maybe you should let the kids read actual, made of
