It is time for the House and Leisure House of the year 2012 competition and you can vote for your favourite.
Having been through the process of building our dream home, I understand the attention to detail and focus required to change brick and mortar into a dream. I love seeing how people used their imagination to create their own masterpiece, or managed to take an old property and turn it around into a home that is so relevant now. I find it intriguing to see how people managed to change a dark and dreary place into a light-filled family home, managed to maximise space or how the home now reflects their personalities.
The 11 homes featured in this year’s competition are all unique, liveable and has tons of aesthetic appeal.
You can see them all if you follow the link to the House of the year 2012 page, where you can view each house individually in detail. Did I forget to mention that by voting you stand a chance of winning Siemens home appliances to the value of R30 000 for your efforts?
