you guys, i LOVE a good before and after. you might say i am OBSESSED with them. you can ask my husband how many hours i have spent watching shows like Fixer Upper and Masters of Flip or how i get totally lost scrolling through the Apartment Therapy B&A archives. if we had HGTV in South Africa i would be permanently tuned in. my Instagram explore page is basically just filled with stylists, interior decorators and house flippers. i’m also hoping to share our own house before & after here – soon!
so i was really happy when i found the work of Holly Marder, an interior design stylist & journalist who blogs about her work at Avenue Lifestyle. she has such a light, soft sensibility and sense of style – i love her work! AND, judging by her accent, Holly has South African roots. check out some of her projects below – including before and afters – and delve into her blog here.

I’ll take everything, please!
Diana, thank you so so much for featuring my work and your very kind words about me. Blushing big time over here! Holly x
What an awesome makeover. Goes to show how much potential a good layout has
So beautiful – could you please tell me the designer of the bed frame in the Project Hoff bedroom? Thanks so much
Beautiful photos of some beautiful interiors – I’ve come across some pretty decent setups locally in a few upmarket Umhlanga Accommodation venues. Can’t help but take a step back to admire it.
I love a good renno too. I have pinned so many of these rooms and never realised it was the same home. Now I hate people who put links in their comments, so I won’t, but google Currawong Cottage Build House Home, to see the before and afters of the cottage we rennovated on a shoe string. I think you will like it.
