Taking Stock: What’s Available at Grafton Everest
As you may know, The Furnishing Touch is sponsored by The Bravo Group of companies, which is home to (among other great decor brands) Grafton Everest. Sometimes we get to visit the show rooms, touch the furniture and dream up completely new posts than what we may have had in mind when we went there [...]
Looking ahead
The weather hasn’t been very spring-like in the last couple of days, in fact it’s been much like a Cape winter, which is very ironic because as most of the country is covered in mud and seldom-fabulous rain coats the people of Cape Town have sunshine.
