Golden oldies

A lick of paint and a dash of sentiment is often all a space needs for a new look.

Twinsies!

Making the most of the quaint breakfast nook just off her kitchen, classically trained painter Alice Toich adorned the wall with a very special wall hanging that features a blown-up print of a photo taken at her parent's wedding.

"I joke that it's 'Photoshop before Photoshop' because everything looks doubled. Both my parents are identical twins and they and their brother and sister respectively (my aunt and uncle) got married on the same sunny day in the same dresses and suits at the Pretoria City Hall. I often end up having to explain my family set-up, so it's easier to just point at the wall over tea," says Alice with a laugh.
