What Your Cancer Friend NEEDS For Her Birthday!

It's that time of year again...

The sun is hot, the pool is open, the kids are out of school - it's officially summer!  All the astrology buffs out there know that summer also means Cancer season is from June 22 to July 22.  So in honor of all the crabs celebrating a birthday this month, Sydney and Teri, our resident Cancer, are going to give our readers a fun style analysis of the sign!

Facts about Cancer:
  • The sign is ruled by the moon, which in astrology represents our emotions.  Cancers tend to experience frequent changes in moods and feelings as the moon waxes and wanes.  
  • Cancer is a water sign, making them more sensitive than some of the other signs.  They're guided by their emotions and intuition.  
  • They're a cardinal sign so they love starting new projects and taking the lead! 
  • Cancer loves their home - being at home, having friends over, decorating - and family is important to them!
  • Their colors are white, silver, blue, and sea green.  A pop of red every now and then can bring out Cancer's hidden fierceness!

Teri here! OK, I get it, us Cancers are emotional... I guess it's true! For me, everything the zodiac read there was true actually. Especially that we love our homes! On that note- try giving the gift of a design board tailored just for your favorite Cancers... I bet they'll cry! ;) 

Teri's Cancer Design Board:

Clockwise from top left: Pied-A-Terre Sofa, Silver Onion Dome Pendant Light, Leaves Art Print, Pieced Crochet Curtain, Artemis Aqua Area Rug,  Cancer Pillow,  Carlson Metal End Table 

Sydney's Cancer Fashion Board:  

Clockwise from top left:  Pura Vida bracelets, turquoise phone case, palm tree phone case, donut nails, moonstone ring, Kate Spade 'Shore Thing' stud earrings, She In short sleeve vintage printed dress, Charlotte Olympia Cosmic Collection clutch and flats, zodiac nails, shorts

How adorable are the Charlotte Olympia clutch and flats?!  She also made heels for the same collection.  You can find them on her website for 50% off right now!  The turquoise and palm tree phone cases are a must-have for the summer, and those pearl crab stud earrings would be the perfect gift for any Cancer!!  Whatever you decide to do for your Cancer's birthday, they'll be touched simply because you're thinking of them. :)


Love,

Teri and Sydney

The Brightest Kitchen in Kigali!

I'm so excited to share with everyone my latest kitchen interior design project, and the bright young woman who lives here!  Claire is a neighbor, a friend, and a client of NAFASI! She had just decided she was ready to settle into her Kigali house, but wasn't quite satisfied with it as her and her son's home . Luckily Claire called on NAFASI, had some great visions of what home meant to her, and we opened up her space into the cheery welcoming kitchen you see now!  This is how it used to look: Can you believe it!?!? Claire worked with her landlord, as she is renting the house, to share costs for the renovation. It was win-win for everyone! A lot of landlords are ready to make renovations on older homes, and willing to pay for the renovation costs that come with it. Claire was responsible for the interior design costs. This way the owner is able to get free design, and the value increases greatly on their home, and the tenant gets the home they actually ...

We've Waited Long Enough!

It is now time for the big reveal!!!!! I have had such a huge internal debate over when I was ready to share finished photos of our home in Kigali. While most of our friends would have said it was completely done 6 months ago (!) I still don't actually feel like it's really finished.   I'm still changing up porch furniture, debating curtains, and I'm not quite pleased with the legs of the island yet- to name a few!  However,  it is time to get the photos out there, and to move on with all of the other Kigali homes and projects I've been working on and need to share with you too! I will be sure to update the blog with all of my own home changes as I make them. And you know I will! ;) So let's take a brief home tour of only the best shots for now! Starting with our front porch. I hope you like it!!! Keep in mind, I could do this for you and your home too. ;) ( www.nafasiinteriors.com ) I added these breezey curtains for a vacation-y relaxing vibe....

Paintings and Porches and Puppies, Oh My!

A few of you have been asking about the "imigongo" style mural behind the bed in The Art House Airbnb space. I thought I'd take this opportunity to go back and show a detailed look at that painting and how I did it! Take a look: I started with my chosen paint colors... Then I nailed canvas into the wall, in case I'd want to keep the "mural" when I was all done! ;) The whole Art House was pretty bare. All I knew is I wanted to make that mural first. The rest would follow! I pressed into the canvas to adhere it to the wall and I was all set to paint! I started off drawing the design on a small piece of paper, and then free-handed it onto the wall, making any additions or edits I wanted as I went. I colored it in, from the top to the bottom, color by color. By the end of the night, I had the color blocking done! There she was, greeting me the next morning!  Then I detailed by adding the black edges, starti...
