Anyone can make a home that is inviting and relaxing after a long cold day.
Choose a warm paint colour: Explore the colour wheel - Notice that yellows, oranges and reds are on the warm side so utilising those colours will simulate a cosier, warmer mood. Blue and purples are on the cool side so they will simulate the opposite mood.
Warm lighting: Group lighting by using task and ambience lighting and a mixture of table and floor lamps. Warm coloured bulbs throw out a softer light and give a room a cosy feel.
TIP: Having your lights on separate switches means you can control how bright/dim a space will be.
Add pot plants: Any living element contributes to a cosy and inviting feel. Plants in baskets are not only on-trend, but they also generate more oxygen inside your home too.
TIP: Group pots together using different shapes and heights to make a focal point.
Carpet, rugs and textiles: Tiles are great but can be chilly underfoot in the cooler months. Carpets insulate, soften and warm up a room and New Zealand wool carpets are environmentally friendly with a sustainable fibre, plus naturally flame retardant.
Don’t discount rugs even if you have carpets. Make sure you choose a rug that works with your existing carpet. Placing a rug between yourself and the floor instantly guarantees a warmer atmosphere. Rugs are also incredibly good at tying a space together.
TIP: Garage carpet reforms the space from a cold concrete feel to a soft warm space too!

Hi there
I wanted to find out if anyone could recommend a good mortgage broker? I've observed that quality, ability and service of brokers varies hugely so keen to hear from anyone who has had a good experience recently

"My name is Fig and I am looking for my forever home. I haven't had the best start to life so I am eager for a second chance at happiness and love. I am looking for a home that has had experience with dogs before. I am a smarty pants so would love a home that has the time and patience to channel that energy into training, which I have not had prior to SPCA. I can guarantee I will pick things up very quickly. I also happen to be very food motivated. My new home would need to have someone around for parts or most of the day as I am not yet used to being left alone for long periods. I would thrive better in a home where I have company. I have proven to be a bit of an escape artist so my new home would need to have high fencing at least 2 meters."

If the parents of the ragdoll or birman living near Eastview Grove could make contact - maybe we could arrange some times that you will keep your cat inside so that my Lucy can have that time outside please. She is having a very difficult time being inside all the time. Your kitty is always there and my kitty finds her very scary. I can’t even leave my door open whilst getting the mail or bringing in The groceries - my house seems to be a magnet. I have secured the cat door but any other opening there is the cat is there!!
Please could you contact me?? 0275255720.
If anyone reading this and knows where the ragdoll lives, or who the owners are could you please alert them to our problem.
Thanks.

I need a help to move a few furniture from Churton Park to Newlands this weekend, two strong man with a big size of van for the job. Please contact with me if you interested and discuss with the price. Cheers Shirley
Box base and 2 mattresses.
The blue mattress is a slat bed mattress.
The mattress that matches the base has stains but is comfortable.
Happy for them to be taken separately.
