Lights off....Camera....Action...!!

So, the other day when we had a power outage in New Delhi, and I made the most out of my creative juices!

Since there was no internet, television or any other technology to distract me I thought of getting a little creative and brought out my camera and candles to play with. Candles I bought over from different destinations, gifts, candle stands had been stocked up inside for way too long and as I brought them out, we relived the little stories that belonged to each one of them. Each corner looked so different and pretty as the lights danced around. 

Dressing up my living room with the warmth of candle lights was so soothing to the eyes, that even after the power was back, we did not bother to change the ambience.  It was just so perfect, peaceful and picturesque!

What followed next  ?? .... some pictures...cuddles...coffee...cakes...and endless conversations !! 

Sharing a few vignettes of my living room with you! 

Never imagined a power outage to be a pretty scene! What say? Would love to hear back from you!

Wishing you a happy week!

My little piece of Karchobi !

Ever since we moved into our new place and I started my new job, I wonder where all the time goes?

So happy to be back to blogging and hopefully will be here for a while!

A few days back, I took a trip to Janpath and found these cute little Karchobi  mats. They were so adorable and irresistible that I regret not buying many more.


I love how the white-red combo has turned out!

Hope you all have a great week ahead!

Our Humble Abode - Master Bedroom

 Finally !! managed to get a breather to sit down and do what I love doing the most....blogging about my our home.

Its been 3 months since I packed up my life in the US and decided to return back to home sweet home at New Delhi, India.  Since then life has been nothing but unpacking...organizing...receiving cargoes and shipments. And that is exactly kept me away from you guys too...Living in India has been quite an experience so far... I cant say we are friends yet... but we are getting there...

This cute little place we call home is our first place together, and both of us really want to enjoy the process to setting it up , hence the decision to take one room at a time.  We also want to keep it simple..easy to maintain and clutter free...

Sharing a few pictures of our (sort of almost) complete master bedroom...take a tour.... 

Banarsi pillows on the bed in assorted colors

 My Jaipuri bedcover 

  A bunch of my favorite fresh flowers

 Knicks and Knacks of purple-blue decor . The blue glass pumpkin and ceramic plate were  DIY projects

 Our Anthropologie monogram cup from a very dear friend... and a memory I brought back from my University time in Pittsburgh. 

  Kathputli_(Puppet)  from my travels to Rajasthan hang above a little couch

Another view of the decor above the bed and my DIY canvases. These were our favorite wedding pictures 

 ....taadaaa... this how it looks as of now... a few more things to add and we will probably strike off the master bedroom from our list... Hope you all liked it as much as we loved setting it up.... let me know :))

Love always..xoxo

Mod Podge Drawers

Hows everyone doing post Christmas celebrations and travelling.... gearing up for New years?.... oh that reminds me...made any resolutions yet?

My biggest resolution is probably going to be doing lots of organization and more organization... and like every year it would last only for about the first 4-5 months..:P

So while on the topic of organization... let me share with you an amazing project I saw while blog surfing.  The Ferguson's at the Garage Sales R Us made this project look so simple with easy to follow step by step tutorials. 

These are mod podged drawers using scrapbook paper. Isn't it a brilliant idea..

I absolutely loved this project..... what do you think? ....I am definitely going to try this on some of my garage treasures...:)

You can find step by step tutorials here
