All About My Drawing Room...:):)


The drawing room is the warm and friendly room in a house & yet it is a place where one can harbor their  collection of personal treasures as well. The name 'drawing room' is derived from the Sixteenth century term 'With-drawing' room. In some countries the term drawing room is not used as much as it once was. In India it is still widely used, since colonial days.

One of my most vivid memories of child hood was scribbling and drawing on the drawing room walls :P. They are the sweet memories of a childhood past....:):)

Decorating has always been a natural instinct, & I have always loved the opportunity to decorate. Influenced by many things .... It's a subject I am most passionate about. It was a dream job for me, to do up our rectangular living room. It was all about fitting the furniture in its right place, balancing colours with each other & the lighting arrangements & along with all the finer things that the living room could hold.

I preferred a velvet cotton mix furnish for the sofa with a naturally inspired pattern and palette with the belief that the best fabrics give a room it's living color. It was my desire to have a crystal chandelier for their beauty and value. And by hanging one it gave a finishing touch to the room.

Thank You for your visit to my Living Room :):)

Shades of Green

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M...

Coffee in the Bedroom

The bedroom, the place where we spend one-third of our life, is a special place indeed and it holds all the beautiful possibilities that we wake up to early in the morning. Enjoying coffee in bed along with reading the newspaper is something one looks forward to & it is a wonderful feeling after a hard days work too. Like many I love the smell and taste of coffee made from a Peculator, and it is also easy and quick to prepare coffee with. Having coffee in bed, along with breakfast on a Sunday morning makes you feel fresh, something that every heart would wish for. Presenting a coffee scape from my bedroom on an early Sunday morning & enjoy your cuppa. Please do visit Cusine Kathleen Please do visit A Delightsome LIfe
