Living a slow life in rural South Africa

Final touches

Posted on August 8, 2011 by Slowvelder

A few more small issues to finish up and then the guest cottage will be complete. Light switch covers and the toilet pipe are still to be done. Gone are the technicolour curtains and holes in the walls. New bedding and linen makes such a difference!

How wonderful it looks, Jackie! If Sara and I ever make it to SA, we will reserve a room at your lovely place. By the way, I love the stone wall behind the bed–great texture!

What a great job you’ve done with Jackal’s Den! Simple elegance with an African feel to it. Looks lovely and cool inside.
