Cape Town is World Design Capital 2014 and we are celebrating - 13 February 2014

Last year, our lovely neighbour, Katie of Recreate and I decided to celebrate Cape Town being chosen as the World Design Capital 2014 by sprucing up our road signage and getting giant yellow numbers made for our shops. To cut a very looooong story short, after one or two delays finally the day (today) had arrived to install ....and it was all wrong :( So instead and because I can't wait anymore, I have taken a picture of our front doorstep to show you. In World Design Capital yellow, I think it looks fab! #WDC2014
