Small and Beautiful

Kathakali (classical dance form originating from Kerala) and traditional cow head fridge magnets done with such eye for detailing. Sometimes while doing up our homes, we realise that it is the small things that capture a big place in our hearts. Like maybe our kid’s doodles / pets’ paw prints or our parent’s black and…

I Wish For Rain And A Hot Cup Of Tea…

I sorely miss the rains in Bangalore… it seems like a really long time since the last drizzle. I long for the smell of wet earth, the cool breeze and the simple romance of drinking a hot cup of chai in the rain 🙂 Happy Weekend!

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. Started by ex-advertising professional  Radeesh R Shetty, this store offers designer lighting of every kind from industrial to recycled…

Weekend Bliss, Vishu and Small Joys!

Been feeling a little low today, too many thoughts to process and too much planning to do! It did not feel like Friday evening, till I headed over to Pinterest and saw some heart warming quotes on HOME, some specially describe my own! It cannot be more aptly put! And this weekend I’m taking Calvin…

Trancending Time

Clocks have become common gifting ideas and we have received our share for both our wedding as well as house warming. But these clocks never impressed me, I wasn’t too clear about what I was looking for in clocks, if I wanted something of vintage charm or one of the modern art clocks. What I…

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…

Cheers to the weekend!

Friday is drawing to a close. I’m really looking forward to this weekend, the projects around the house never seem to end. Secretly we hope it wont ever end! It has gotten us on a high and this one I’m guessing will last! Here is a peek into our home. This part of the house…
