'Nicola Hadfield, "doyenne of decor", has played a key role in positioning South Africa's craft and design on the international podium. Her inspiring work comes together in this book which has been a very personal journey for her - Nicola's belief in this country's creative pulse clearly radiates through these pages, which document some of South Africa's most beautiful residences. I was proud to have nominated Nicola as one of the US Star Group's Leading Women Entrepreneurs of the World in 2003. She can be justly proud of this stylish publication which is a tribute to her talent, expertise, business acumen and entrepreneunal flair.'
