I have always been a fan of this gorgeous fabric. The crisp texture, the sheen, the vibrant colours and the variety of motifs and designs. I have incorporated silk be it in the form of curtain panels or cushion covers at home, even silk sarees get me thinking on how they can alternatively be used…

Traditional South Indian Homes
I recently visited a more than 150 year old traditional home in Narayanavanam in Andhra Pradesh. The family has been traditionally involved in the silk saree business for many generations and follow the joint-family system with grandparents, sons, their wives and children all living and growing together.

DIY – My Try At Up-Cycled Bottle Art
Got plenty of empty glass bottles lying at home, why don’t you up-cyle them to add to your home or garden decor? There are many ways you can up-cycle bottles, you can make lamps with them, candle/tea light holders, paint them or do thread work around them. I love this particular form of work and…
The Purple Turtles
In continuation of my visual walk through of two lighting stores in the city that I find interesting, lets take a look at a rather unique store starting with their unusual name – The Purple Turtles.

Wall Mural
It has been a long time since I had the opportunity to paint directly on the wall, what with staying in rented houses and having to deal with irate house owners! But since we moved into our new home, my hands have been itching to dress up one of the walls. The TV room is…
Monday Jumpstart!
We had a great weekend, finally got around to fixing some long pending light fixtures, went shopping, finished my painting and had a great Sunday evening with friends. Here is the finished 3 panel painting on our living room wall. Now I’m thinking what do I paint next ? There are lot of empty walls…
Art On Multiple Panels
I’m absolutely loving this style of paintings and art on more than a single panel. The concept of carrying the art across 2, 3, or even more number of panels provide exciting visual and serve as the focal point of a room. I’ve been wanting a 3 panel painting for my living room accent wall…
