The question that I hear most often is: ‘Where do your ideas come from?’. And sometimes ideas come from the most unlikely places. Like when my financial advisor asked me, a few months after we went independent, ‘How will you ensure that you keep your team?’ His focus was on risk management, but my head worked differently - by making this an attractive place to be, naturally! And what could inspire and motivate a person more than to spread your wings and travel? And so we started to plan a trip to refill our tanks with ideas once more. We jumped onto Instagram and looked at which Europeans inspire our readers. (Yes, we know your names.) We discovered the artist Nathalie Lété in Paris and Corine Postma in Sassenheim -…

DIFFICULTY: easy TIME: two hours It’s quick and easy to turn a piece of builders’ reinforcing mesh into a modern noticeboard. Work in a well-ventilated space: Apply a few coats of a base paint suitable for metal, to prevent the reinforcing mesh rusting and to improve the finish for the spray paint. Allow the base paint to dry properly before applying the spray paint in the colour of your choice. (We used a bright yellow.) Apply several light coats of spray paint to achieve a solid colour and to avoid ‘runs’, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next one. NOTE: Reinforcing mesh (also called rebar, or reinforcing bar) is used to reinforce concrete. Find it at your local builders’ supply store and ask them to cut it to…

YOU WILL NEED ♥ template with ears ♥ air-dry clay ♥ clay modelling tools ♥ rolling pin ♥ kebab skewer ♥ knife with a smooth blade (not serrated) ♥ ruler ♥ permanent marker Take the air-dry clay out of the packet, place it on a smooth surface and roll it to 5mm thickness with the rolling pin. Place your template on the clay and cut it out with the knife. Use the ruler to help you cut straight. Use a clay modelling tool with a square end (or the handle of a teaspoon) to press a row of grooves into the two short edges where the clay will be joined. Bring the two edges towards each other, so that the clay forms a cylinder, and press them together to join…

We used the petal picture on the page overleaf and had it printed onto linen for a tablecloth. We also printed it out on paper and decoupaged it onto the back of glass plates and the base of wine glasses: Apply modge podge over the back of the plate (or base of the glass) and over the front of the paper printout (so the image will face the diner). Place the wet paper onto the plate or glass and gently rub it with your fingertips to smooth it out and make sure it fills all the hollows and curves of the plate or glass. Seal it with more modge podge and leave it to dry properly. To complete the table setting, we used rose petals to dye the placemats and…

‘There are people who like to shop while they eat,’ says Ilaria Minniti, owner of Artemisia, the flower shop within the beautiful La Ménagère restaurant in Florence. Or should I say, the florist who helps make the restaurant the breathtaking space that it is. ‘And then there are people who like to eat while they shop. The Florentines are different though - here we prefer to put things into separate boxes and don’t easily mix them.’ She smiles as she tell us how their ‘concept restaurant’ was welcomed with open arms by tourists and the art students in the area while the Florence residents were still trying to make up their minds about this new-style combination. It was strange for them in the beginning, but not for Ilaria. When she…

We first met Joana Caetano on Instagram as a ‘cat lady’ and ‘embroidery artist’ and fell in love with her fresh embroidery work - full of stories and at times tongue-in-cheek, but always with the unmistakable techniques of Portuguese whitework. A few awkward Portuguese emails later, I discovered that she can actually speak English and we organised a visit to her home in Porto. In the flat in the ‘old city’ that she shares with her actor boyfriend, Ivo Bastos, and four cats, the light streams in through the windows of her studio to reflect her sunny personality and always-present smile. Waiting in the kitchen were the two cakes her mother had baked for the guests from South Africa - one a green watercress cake (delicious!) and the other chocolate…

Winning letter Roses and rosé The moment I saw the ‘Rosé all day’ article in the Ideas March/April edition I knew it could work for my birthday party - I love the colour pink and I love rosé wine. The article became the inspiration for a ‘Roses & Rosé’ theme party. A friend of mine designed the invitation, which specified ‘no husbands, no kids’. After checking the weather, I realised that I…

‘What if everything you are going through is preparing you for what you asked for? Two weeks of inspiration led to this extra-thick issue. Terena, Dala, Hannes and photographer Anelle Britz went to absorb and capture, to look, eat and walk around for hours, and to find new ideas. From Amsterdam’s canals, gabled houses and modern approach to Paris’s blossoms, street cafés and wall art. Then to Italy for a shot of culture, cathedrals and Venice (overflowing with sunseekers). From there we went to Portugal - the loveliest place with the friendliest people and most delicious food. What an experience and how wonderful to be able to relive it through the compilation of this edition.…

Back in England, Rosie’s three sisters are dealing with different challenges in their searches for family, purpose and happiness.

DIFFICULTY: fairly easy TIME: 2-3 hours, plus drying time This little table is so unusual - and it’s really not difficult to make.

Perfumes are no longer classified as ‘feminine’ or ‘masculine’, but rather according to the scent family to which they belong. And know this: The floral family these days is equally the domain of men who are not afraid of a rose, jasmine, iris or violet note on their bodies. Modern metrosexual and millennial men are busy seriously spritzing up their place on the perfume platform. Indeed, the majority of the perfumes that have been launched worldwide over the past five years have been for men. The most important global trend, however, is the gender-neutral category of perfumes that find favour with both sexes. This means literally that perfumes are shared, says Liz Ferret, fragrance fundi and founder of the website fragrancequeen.co.za. She presents a regular Sunday slot about perfume on…

Nathalie Lété’s animal illustrations may feature proudly this year on Alessandro Michele’s latest range for Gucci, and her flowers on wallpaper, tiles and textiles worldwide, but when we asked if Ideas could come and visit her studio, she answered the very same day. And so she became the first firm appointment on our European schedule and had us eagerly anticipat ing our time in Paris. She meets us outside her studio with her Dachsie, Spike, under her arm and once we are inside it takes almost half an hour before we start working, because there is just so much to look at, admire and ask about. It’s a mixture of her inspirations, her products and her passions. It’s dolls and animals, tins and books, mats and clothes, cards and Christmas…

It’s (almost) spring in the Boland, but we wish we were in Portugal! The Ideas team’s European inspiration tour has made us long to pack our bags and fly away to sit on a foreign beach and gaze at the colours. To satisfy our wanderlust, we are welcoming spring with a balmy Portuguese theme of deep bluegreen sea tones and tiled streets. We worked with three elements: colour, plants and tiles. The wall colour is Plaasdam from our Karoo collection. It gives precisely the correct balance between green and blue to whisk our thoughts away to the alluring waters and shaded streets of a coastal village where the sounds of fado can be heard drifting over the rooftops. From here it is not difficult to add more colours to bring…
