"A thing of beauty is a joy forever" Concept Anet Pienaar-Vosloo is an amateur photographer, with an exceptional network of friends, who own some of the country's most beautiful properties. Each week she travels to visit the people who have built and decorated their homes with unparalleled taste and style. Each episode features a different family home, and selected items in it, ranging from art to antiques and offers a sentimental, at times nostalgic, glimpse into the stories behind them. The series will focus on Afrikaans families who are passionate curators of their heritage and heirlooms and who preserve their beautiful properties for generations to come. Anet will introduce these exquisite properties to the viewers when she visits her friends and acquaintances on this journey. It will be a personal glimpse into the mostly private lives of these families, with Anet as the pivotal link. As a celebrated journalist and author, Anet's adventure into the homes of these South Africans will be two-fold: to provide viewers with an insight and inside perspective of some of the most scenic homesteads of South Africa, and to document her travels and discoveries for the publication of her second coffee-table book. Anet and her TV production team will travel to remote locations, visiting farms and towns in the 'platteland', and explore the more urban landscape to uncover the most beautiful living spaces - each with unique stories and sentiments. Style and Tone The series will avoid the typically over-presented style of interior-themed shows. There will be no to-camera presenting, as the story is visually told through voice-over and interview. The tone is casual, warm and conversational. As the spaces will be the homes of an elite group of people, every effort will be made to make the stories accessible and relatable. Anet's sincere curiosity and celebration of beautiful things are contagious, and this will be the access point for the viewer.
