Things I Love-Part 1!!

Warm summer days, the busy traffic....people walking in the sweltery heat getting around the hub dub of life... sitting by my hostel window i can see the dark clouds gather...and then suddenly the sky cracks and slowly tiny droplets of rain break out ...people start rushing to the nearby shops...the smell of rain fills the air...the green grass...the water droplets on the window panes and the big smiles on happy children jumping puddles on the roads...the bhuttawala opens his tent and i can smell the aroma of roasting bhutta and spicy chilli chatney....
 i recollect my own childhood... my mom shouting and asking us to get the clothes from outside..and we asking her to make pakoras and chai for us!...I love the Monsoon..the green grass..the sweet smell of the earth...and the sweet memories!!
and now the rains have all new meaning in my life...bringing back the joys of childhood and teenage years as I stand in my kitchen and make pakoras and adhrak wali chai for my hubby and i can hear the rain drops falling on the window panes and the cycle of life continues...

Shabby Chic Rattan!

Warm and homely rattan furniture always remind me of childhood in Andaman Islands, we always had rattan furniture at home.Rattan furniture are true shabby chic with a little bit of coloured cushions and planter around they can give a bohemian feel to the space.
They are cheap and easily available roadside in India and you can get huge bargains when you haggle:)
Traditionally cane furniture are usually used as garden furniture or in the balconies but you can now use them as dining furniture as decorative baskets, as swings for relaxation and also as coffee table and chests.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall !!!

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL WHO IS PRETTIEST OF THEM ALL!!!.....
Mirrors are great accenturators of the space...they can add glamour and glitz to any room.Ornate Mirrors can add character and give a vintage charm to the space.




You can also use mirrors in contemporary setting and smaller units to double the space making the space look bigger and adding that extra floor space at no added cost!!
