Lego love : The Matisse poster is from a Matisse exhibition the couple visited earlier this year at the Pompidou in Paris. The Lego model is a replica of an original 1962 Volkswagen camper van from. It is made up of 1Â 332 pieces and it took two days to build!|

Well travelled : Niel and Lindi found the Millet print during one of their excursions to the Milnerton Market. They bought the rosaries in the Vatican in Italy.|
Hot plates : These stove plate covers are proof that collectibles can be found in the strangest places. In this case, the Crazy Store in Worcester.|
Collector's space : Most of the items you'll find in Niel and Lindi's house are from markets and fetes. They love searching for treasures that mean something to both of them.|
