Bringing inspiration back into your home

The Pretoria HOMEMAKERS Expo, held at the Parkview Shopping Centre from 6 to 9 October was not only packed with innovative home products, kitchen ideas and many other garden props and landscapes but also flooring options, outdoor products and patios and even pianos!

Gourmet Garage was hip and happening with visitors enjoying coffee, deli delights and craft beers. The two Jacaranda FM personalities, Rian and Martin, thoroughly enjoyed the competing vibe in the Battle of the Bars and it was fun seeing these two doing (serving drinks) something different from the ordinary. The Chamberlain men were geared with tools, workbenches and cutting boards showing all our handymen at the show what the unique product characteristics are.

The show enjoyed a healthy rise in visitor feet and an overall good response from exhibitors makes us proud to have once again another show well done.

Congratulations to all award-winning exhibitors! Top accolades went to our overall winner for upholding excellent exhibitor standards, Ashley’s Furniture Homestore.

Thank you to Grant Twilley who’s put the highest bid on Rian’s bar and Ané-a Harding who’s put the highest bid on Martin’s bar and then of course Chamberlains who built the bars for us. Together with HOMEMAKERS we donated R25,000 to Jacaranda FM Good Morning Angels.
