Jane, Camps Bay
We were faced with the daunting task of renovating our new apartment in Cape Town, knowing very little about local contractors or vendors. The best thing that our internet search yielded was ‘allaboutliving’! Kathrin and her company offer a distinctly different service. Her expertise as an interior decorator was very useful in planning the floor space and choosing a color scheme for the entire apartment. The mix of different styles of furniture with different textures of fabric has produced a stunning visual effect in the lounge. Exquisite light fittings, carefully chosen and coordinated, round off the traditional yet elegant and luxurious look of our apartment. Thanks to ‘allaboutliving’!

Thank you again for your excellent and practical advises….
It is a great help!

Dear Kathrin, it was an inspiration to work with you!
For me it was your speedy response as well as your warm listening and inspired ideas that really made a difference to my satisfaction with my living space!
I particularly want to emphasize how much more you bring to the table than knowing the shops and locals: as someone who happens to know the shops as well, you gave me direction in the bewilderment of my own design ideas. You very efficiently helped me to eliminate no-go and unpractical options that I was wasting my time with. And you helped me develop a shortlist of options that work. Thanks always!"

I remember looking back to October 2009 and realising that I needed help in getting our newly-acquired apartment in Cape Town furnished and decorated; as doing this on my own from Johannesburg was “mission impossible”. By my own admission, I am a control-freak and was sceptical that someone else would understand our needs, our budget and be efficient. And then I found Kathrin of All About Living. Kathrin, as you know after our recent ‘first stay’ in our apartment, we are in love with our new little home. Thank you for making it so beautiful ! Your efficiency and honesty is beyond reproach, your understanding of the client’s needs are spot-on and your professional approach superb. Added to all this, you are also always friendly and calm. I already miss talking to you, receiving your emails and working with you. I have absolutely no doubts in my mind that if we ever need help with another home in Cape Town, you will be my immediate port of call. Any future clients can be assured of 100 percent Swiss perfection in design and service from Kathrin Giesser of All About Living !
Sandra, Johannesburg
I would like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to you for everything you did in sorting out Cameron’s room in his digs. Being in Durban and having to organise furnishing, painting and decorating a room in Cape Town has its many difficulties but making contact with you was the best thing I could ever have done. Your efficiency, promptness and good taste must be complimented. From the first time we made contact, I just knew that we would work well together. Thank you once again and we will definitely be in contact again – sooner rather than later.
Caryn, Durban
It was a wonderful decorating journey with Kathrin!
From the word “go” it was interesting, exciting, personal and very professional. We bought all the furniture for our new holiday home in one unforgettable day! Thank you Kathrin ! You made your good service look effortless!

What a ‘breeze’ – need to shop in a hurry – furnish a shop in a day – Kathrin was my answer. With her pleasing people’s orientated personality and meticulous organisation finding the right furnishings stress-lessly was truly an easy task. An innovative, personalised service – I can only recommend it!

Dear Kathrin,
I thank you very much for the wonderful service you provided. As I work all day, it was relaxing to know that I could count on someone like you to help me find the right sofa and coffee table without spending hours driving around Cape Town. When the day came to go shopping, you knew where to go to find what I was looking for. You are really trustworthy and efficient. I highly recommend All About Living.
Anne-Catherine, Sea Point, Cape Town
I found your service totally efficient. Everything went completely smoothly from my point of view which is what I wanted. In addition I am really pleased with the choices you made for me - not only do the furniture and curtains and the like suit the flat, they are also to my taste. I can say without hesitation that I would use your services again and will recommend you to anyone needing decorating assistance in Cape Town. Once again thanks - it has been a pleasure doing business with you.

Dear Kathrin

Julia, Tamboerskloof, Cape Town
Kathrin, you have provided an excellent service, trustworthy and reliable, which took away a lot of the stress's of moving to another country. Thank you for all your help with our house and for your knowledge of where to shop and your ideas for some of the best buy's around town. Highly recomended!!!
Katerina and James, Newlands Cape Town
When I went shopping with IDEALLIANCE, I had lived in Cape Town for only one week, owned no furniture, and knew little about the city. Kathrin prepared our shopping trip carefully, taking time to learn about "my style" and which shops I might like. Our trip was efficient but also fun. As Kathrin provided me with information about the shops we visited - as well as others that I might try - I feel I know more about Cape Town, and have a lovely new sofa as well! I would highly recommend a day with IDEALLIANCE.
Katherine, Durbanville Cape Town
The Guided Furniture Shopping Tour with IDEALLIANCE has been successful and satisfying in any regard. Kathrin Giesser has prepared the tour with me with a lot of circumspection, putting much effort into working out and assessing my needs and expectations. On this basis she has come up with a tour which has been both, efficient and inspiring at the same time. And lastly - and very important! - Kathrin Giesser has been a most pleasant attendant, making this day a joyful experience. I can only recommend All About Living!
