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 :):)

Diwali With Lights

The word Deepavali stems from the Sanskrit words, Deepa meaning ‘Light’ and Avali meaning ‘Row’. It means a row of lights and illumination is undoubtedly its main attraction. Deepavali, the festival of lights, even to this day, projects the rich and glorious past of our country and teaches us to uphold the true values of life.    THE FLICKERING LIGHT OF A FLAME IS TRULY MAGICAL. SCENTED POTPOURRI AND NATURALLY DRIED LEAVES ADD TO THE OCCASION.    GO AHEAD AND CREATE AN INVITING DECOR FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO ADD TO THE FESTIVE SPIRIT   A WINDOW LEDGE TRANSFORMED WITH THE ONSET OF THE FESTIVE FERVOUR.THIS IS A WINDOW DRESSING FOR DIWALI   CREATE AND TRANSFORM THE SPACE AND LEAVE AN EPHEMERAL IMPRINT THE RUSTIC AND ETHNIC LOOK OF THE LAMPS. LOTUS BUDS ADD TO THE BEAUTY.

A Wedding to Remember.:)))

 When two souls, which have sought each other for however long in the throng, have finally found each other,when they have seen that they are matched, in a word they are alike, compatible and established a union for ever between them. A union illuminated & pure for ever and ever.. This union is love, true love filled with full of sweetest delights & compassion. My second son Capt Siddharth and sweet Saumya tied the knot on 16th Feb. The wedding was a grand event with both the families coming together to bless the wonderful couple. Sharing few photos of the wedding in the blog- post today with rest of you all.:)))   Please visit Nap on the porch  

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
