Caroline says she designed her home; she is passionate about interior decor. A grand piano in the living room motivates her to get back to music. Her handcrafted rustic dining table and chairs, locally sourced, and a rustic display cabinet at the corner of the room, give her space allure and character. A vibrant painting of a modern African woman provides a pop of colour against the neutral pallet on the wall. The wicker baskets on the opposite wall give a magical effect. "I am expecting my family this evening for dinner. I enjoy hosting a lot," she says.
Her wall of fame on the corridor that leads upstairs to her other rooms displays accolades, certificates and pictures of her receiving awards and letters from former President Uhuru Kenyatta. Adjacent to the wooden staircase is a display shelf filled with pictures that carry happy memories of Caroline and her family, world leaders, presidents, business leaders and her closest friends. We go upstairs, where she shows me a gorgeous art neckpiece, a gift from her sister, which she decided to frame. The holding TV area upstairs has a sink-in cosy sofa bed.
"I save up to buy most of these pieces. I love investing in classy and expensive furniture, and I take time and think through each piece," she said. Her bed cover adds a dose of colour to her subtle bedroom. It is simply sensational. A gorgeous scarf on the trunk was a gift from Sri Lanka's president. "It is sentimental to me," said Caroline.
