Shelf Storage Solutions: Before & After.
Did someone say shelfie? A while back, I shared these shelf storage solutions that we recently made for a client. It has made such a huge difference in my client’s home and I couldn’t be happier for her.

We are back!! The spectacular before and after of a modern, simple yet functional home office space by the team at Manjano Zuri. The last 3 weeks have been a haze of lessons. By this I mean, patience, resilience and also constantly asking myself how badly do I want this. My clients’ happen to be long time friends that I have known for 10 + years. You would think that the solid friendship would make it easier when working for them, right? Wrong! They are amazing people, don’t get me wrong. And they are amazing clients’ too, but get this, they literally are my first ever clients. So the pressure…
