I got to chat to her for Mental Health Awareness month about how the colours we choose can affect us and our children!

We often don't think about how the colours we love can affect our mental well-being, but they really do! Especially if you have kids in the house! Listen to Nthabi explain how to incorporate fun, family, and peace into your home!

Another great podcast: Yahto Kraft on wearing heels on 'The Voice' and the body shamers in his DMs!

A home should incorporate everyone who lives in it within the design and colour choices!

The REAL Interior ...💫 ✨ ✨ REAL Suppliers: ✨ One of the first black owned factories that I worked with in the design industry was Petite Designs. A family owned business that has truly stood the test of time...💫 ✨ And over the years, as family members ventured out on their own, we’ve all still stayed in touch because we too became part of the Penniken family. ✨ One of my first major book order was from my brother in design, Issy Penniken for his management staff at his factory. ✨ This order made the book selling journey so much more REAL, because it was in his father’s factory that I was shown the ropes of design and manufacturing for some of the top hotel groups and where the Penniken family took me in and quietly guided me through the design terrain throughout my 21 year career...✨ ✨ Businesses may change, but family is forever...💫 With Love & PRIDE, #realmanufacturer #real #family . . . . . . . . . . . #therealinterior #my #story #from #within #memoir #nthabitaukobong #book #storytelling #through #interiordesign #architecture #ff&e #designer #friends #bibliophile #bookofthemonth #ilovebooks #read #instabook #african #literature #booksofinstagram #lionesslegacy @nthabitaukobong ✨ ✨ BOOK AVAILABLE AT: • Adams Book Sellers • Bargain Books • Book World • CNA • Exclusive Books • Forgarty Bookshop • Love Books • Ramsgate Stationers • Readers Warehouse • Reka Afrika • Skoobs • The Private House • Wordsworth • Zacabuzz
