Maike of Love Made Me Do It recently shared gorgeous photos of her kitchen and dining room with her readers. The sunny atmosphere paired with her beautiful handmade touches are amazingly inspirational. The beauty is in the details of her unique vintage pieces and whimsical color palette.
It certainly doesn't help that Maike and her husband Travis are photographers. This South African couple shares their love of visual beauty in their photographs as well as their entire home. As they are about to embark on a move to Cape Town, Maike pays homage to her old home before she packs it away. To view more photos hop over to Love Made Me Do It.

I'm so glad to see AT featuring African homes... I loved this and the "room for color" entrant from Pretoria last week. It helps make up for the fact that I don't have any world travels in my near future. However, if you wanted to send someone to Africa for research, I'll be your first volunteer.
I am always pleased to know people care about their homes. It shows a caring person. I love it. sincerely, mary
in my (albeit american) mind, this is quentisentially south african; sun-bright, part mid-century, part colonial, romantic ramshackle. i love it!
i love it !!
your kitchen is amazing!!! i wish i were as organized.
LOVE- especially the first and last photos!
I like the kitchen but the first thing I would do if it would be my place is to remove the emtly bottles. They look charming, but are useless dustmagnets..
This is absolutely lovely! I have so many favorite things, I can't list them all! I just wish for a couple wider shots of the kitchen.
Its just so pretty. Wonderful colors and great use of the space.
Intimate. Happy. Full of life. Wonderful.
oooooooohhhhhhhhh!! swoon.
