Cape Town Apartment

The other day I was asked to take some photos of the apartment so that the 'before and after' can be seen by Christian Vision. I don't have the 'before' photos, but here are some of the 'afters'.

My mum is standing on the land next to the studio, in front of the apartment. The lounge/dining/kitchen areas are the two large windows with small ones on either side, on the first floor. The bedrooms are on the ground floor and there is a small yard with a gate onto the grass. Upstairs, on the second floor is another apartment.

The lounge is simply furnished with wooden blinds and African pictures and colours. The previous occupier had heavy curtains which covered the whole of the outside wall, not allowing any light into the room. The open area feels much lighter now, despite some dark furniture.

The kitchen is fresh and clean and well equipped. A large breakfast bar in the front of the photo is very useful as an office area for the computers, meals eaten alone and for the general clutter which accumulates near to the entrance.

This is the guest room, which has been kept as light as possible. Again, wooden blinds keep out the afternoon sun. There are patio doors onto the yard, but outside the guest room a huge cactus plant has grown over one of the glass panels, making it difficult to use the door. This cactus will be moved when the garden area next to the studio is planted.
