My words dried up – probablybecause we are slap bang in the middle of two deadlines(our first bonus issue,Home Paint It,will be on-shelfin late April) and my head is simply filled with toomany things.So I took Deon’s wise words on board and startedwriting random thoughts down...I recalled my first visit to France, the blissful start to aholiday that would take me and an old university friend toSpain and back. Such great memories.I also asked friends on Facebook for inspiration.Therese shared a photo of the Eiffel Tower, and mycousin Chantal recounted how a stranger in France had walkedright up to her, kissed her resoundingly on the lips and told her shewas “so beautiful”.Ilza wanted to know what the plural of the French surnameDu Plessis is (no comment) and my colleague Dale informed me,rather drily, that since she’d made spaghetti for dinner, she wouldbe able to provide plenty of Italian inspiration...Finally, our English copy editor, Gillian, provided a ray of light.She wrote: “Hi Wicus. This is not especially related to your ed’sletter conundrum, but I just wanted to say that Dale’s comment inher bedroom makeover story that ‘working atHomemagazine hasinspired her to re-do her house’ – well, I’m the same! We havegiven our kitchen a makeover just using paint. We have alsocreated a lovely new Mediterranean-inspired courtyard in an areathat was ugly and had nothing going for it.”I realised once again that projects such as Gill’s and Dale’s mademe the dedicatedHomereader I’ve been for years, shamelessly‘borrowing’ ideas from other people’s beautiful homes. Take a lookat Gill’s courtyard and kitchen (right) and turn to page 62 to findout how Dale gave her bedroom a touch of French flair.And yes, in this issue we are indeed celebrating all thingsFrench. The three reader homes are simply stunning and Deon deGoede’s DIY table seems sure to result in fisticuffs here in the office– everyone wants it!BeforeAfterDuringAfterProjects like Gill’s(pictured here)and Dale’s (page62) turned me intoa dedicated Homereader years ago.BeforeThe Greigs’ garden, would you believe, boasts a genuine ‘potager’(French kitchen garden) right in the heart of Johannesburg!Then there’s the food: Reinée and her mom created a Mother’sDay menu that made me long for the French countryside. I dreamof buying fresh ingredients at a market and cooking up a feast. I’d siton a patio at a rustic table with beautiful linen napkins and food servedin old dishes, ivory cutlery alongside. At dusk, I’d drink a toast with aglass of real champagne, the cork of a Bordeaux wine safely tucked inmy suitcase to bring home as a keepsake.Paging through this issue, I realise once againthat I don’t really need words. See for yourself, thepictures speak for themselves.
