Starting in her early twenties, Chastity began collecting antiques, original artwork, and objets d’art, all of which are found displayed to perfection at their forever home in Fortune. Using her innate ability and imagination to mix, match, layer and play with patterns, she has created a seamless, elegant home that is rich in texture and dynamic colours, in conjunction with bold patterns and striking wall coverings. Far from being old school stuffy, this home exudes a warm, enveloping atmosphere mirroring the personalities of both Chastity and Michael. The layout of the house is not quite open plan, nor is it all closed-off rooms; it falls somewhere in between. A large foyer connects the entry, the kitchen, living room, and dining room with only minimal separation, creating a sense of continuity and space. The artfully curated living room reminds one of being invited into a velvet-lined jewellery box filled with cherished antiques, comfy sofas, personal memorabilia, family photos and flea market finds. The thoughtful mix of soft furnishings, animal prints and handpicked art pieces begs one to sit down and relax. (below, L-R) The hallway connects the kitchen, living room and dining room. Gilded framed artwork were some of the first pieces Chastity purchased in Europe. Beautifully arranged vignettes adorn every surface, each telling a story of what was past and is now present.
