Here’s the thing: I never set out to be a home cook, let alone put together this book. I’m just a girl (actually a grown woman) who’s been trying to feed her family through a pandemic. At some point during the thousands of meals that I've cooked, I realized I was pretty good at it. That realisation inspired me to reflect on when and how I learnt to create a meal. I’ve since come to understand the

incredible mosaic that is my background and how it has shaped my food story. 

This is book is a collection of almost everything I have learnt about feeding myself and the fussy three humans who live with me.  With over 55 recipes, I hope what I share with you will somehow make your time in the kitchen a little easier.

This chapter is different. This chapter is light, joy, and wide-open skies.

And yes, the lead character deserves every bit of this sunshine.

The warmth is returning, slowly but surely. Just as spring unfolds with patience, so too can we open ourselves to new beginnings. May this season remind you to embrace the light, to bloom where you are planted, and to welcome the beauty of change.

Still so in love…

At Sanctuary Ekhaya, we believe in creating soulful, sacred spaces, not just beautiful rooms. We believe a home should tell the story of who you are, where you’ve come from, and where you hope to go.

This cabinet is now a living embodiment of that ethos: a bridge between the past and the present, a vessel for memory, and a piece of beauty that feels entirely at home in our world today.

The New Year is here, and we’re so excited to start designing our dream home!

It’s a rental—perfect for this chapter as we settle into our new space. Sure, there are some limitations, but we’re embracing all the possibilities.

Stay tuned as we get creative and make this house feel like home!

The next chapter of Sanctuary Ekhaya begins in South Africa! 🇿🇦

After a few years of creating beautiful spaces in Australia, my family and I are excited to announce that we’re relocating to Johannesburg. While we are sad to leave, we are so grateful for the journey we’ve had here, and we look forward to continuing to serve our Australian clients through DigitallyStyled services and project travel.

For our South African community, get ready for beautiful transformations! Visit our website to secure your spot and join us on this exciting adventure.

Follow along as I document our move and share all my tips and tricks on relocating and starting over. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!

Hi everyone!!

It’s been a long minute. I must apologize for leaving you out in the cold. I didn’t realise that all this time Instagram wasn’t posting directly to here.

Sorz e-family. Working on fixing the glitch, in the meantime, I pray that you are doing well. A LOT has been happening with the ministry, my little ducklings and life in general. Can’t wait to bring you all up to speed.

Lots of love
Dawn

So, if your place needs a complete revamp or just a simple refresh, let's have a cuppa and, together, we can work it out.

I’m excited to finally launch the new website. It’s been such a labor of love. A space where I can host all the things I love and share all the wonderful gifts God has given me.

The site is rich, complex and ever evolving, as am I. Not for marketing but purely for necessity, make sure you have subscribed so you always get everything I put up. While I will still post somethings on my social channels, majority of my work will now live on my site.

I’m working on my new projects, from Home Design, to my new Digital Recipe book and season TWO of my podcast.

Finally fully embracing it all. I hope you’ll join me on the ride.
