minimalist

her home is a reflection of her self. and her career.

devoid of clutter. no huge floral decorations. no scallops and chandeliers. no elaborate furniture.

just a jar of strelitziers or bird of paradise, ginger torch and papyrus. a few pots of orchids here and there.

but there is a huge white book case. filled to the brim with her favourites and new works.

in the living room is a tiny 16 inch tv. a mix and match of a 2-seater sofa, 2 black and pine armchairs, a 2-seater wooden chair, an extremely simple black coffee table, a small red shaggy carpet, a globe, a table lamp and an oil painting. plain black and white curtains.

the dining area has a black glass table with six red chairs, indirect lighting fixtures and a rattan chest. and an exerciser. a huge world map takes centre stage on the dining room wall.

the kitchen cabinet is black. cooking utensils are  red, black, white and stainless steel. crockery in cheerful stoneware, clear modernist glass, corningware. cutleries in black and stainless steel.

the study has a drawing board, tables and chairs, more bookshelves and serves as a storage area too.

the master bedroom has a simple black king sized bed with pastel mono-toned cotton bedsheets, plenty of multi colored cushions, two black side tables, table lamps, mirror, a comfy armchair, a mini fridge and a tv. a picture of The Kaabah and Masjidil Haram. and a few luminous stars on the bedroom and bathroom doors. plain pale blue and white curtains.

other rooms have white single beds and side tables. chest of drawers. bamboo blinds and pale blue curtains.

two rattan chairs and a table on the terrace.

her little garden is filled with herbs, ferns, scented flowering plants, orchids. and wildflowers. plus tiny birds and butterflies.

and dear little kiko and koko.
