Happy Mother’s Day, ma, mumma {that’s what I call my MIL and I cannot tell you what a wonderful soul she is} and all the wonderful mothers out there who have voluntarily signed up for the toughest job in the world. A job that pays you nothing, keeps you awake for nights on end, keeps…
Hello in there! Happy Sunday to you! We have a cute stool makeover here- one which I am very proud of considering my patience always wears thin- and methinks you will love this little Nautical/ Beach inspired stool too. Little rascal’s looking way too fab, and it’s all cornered under $5! Yes, yes, cheap and…
Hello there! We are many Fridays behind from when this DIY chic candle votive tutorial was supposed to be posted, but better late than never! Thanks to the vaccum that has been created suddenly- one of the two men in this house is away to help my MIL with my FIL’s operation, and I am…
Goodmorning, happy Thursday and a DIY plastic bottle wall planter says hi. Welcome to trumatterland where we reuse & recycle old, battered, thrown-away everyday things into something nice and beautiful. Oh and before you categorize me as one of those ‘save the planet’ hipsters, let me come clear that I am far from being one.…
Morning ladies and gentlemen! You doing very well I am guessing, this beautiful morning? It’s a sunny day out here in Mumbai, the house is clean, I have filled my cup {yes, the big a** anthropologie mr. mug} with home made, milk laden English breakfast and I have a knockoff to show you. A DIY…
Hello! How are you holding up, wherever you are? Splendid I hope? As for me, I am huffing and puffing and struggling to write a few words from this sun-baked apartment about these DIY Stamped Clay Bowls that I made- or according to Wendy, “whipped up”- recently 🙂 But boy-oh-boy, I am having to squeeze…
I wanted to show you all the entire PDF as a blogpost, and here we go!
Happy Sunday to you! Just popped in to say hi and show you ‘cat crossed the pillow’ design. For those of you coming  here for the first time or who do not follow me, I have been working on a small summer project with the subject, “Indian superstitions” wherein I am trying to relook at…
I promised you all I’ll bring some India in this humble house and so I have. It cannot get more Indian than nimbu-Mirchi! You need (your) evils warded off? Just do nimbu-mirchi. Your stomach’s not quite right? Just wave nimbu-mirchi around you 7 times and throw it away {or something like that} Practically it’s the cure for…
Goodmorning, happy Tuesday and a nice, hot summer to all of you from India. We’ve now dived head strong into molten lava {read: summer} and I am using it to melt, cast and beat a DIY copper flower pot #not. Welcome to reading my dorky self and henceforth you are about to enter a phase where this…
Happy Friday folks! How have you all been? Me you ask? Oh well…it’s been a busy week and just the sort of week I’d need in my life. We completed the balcony if you remember? Our band and I did a small shoot for a quite-famous music channel, we have anthropologie mugs in the house…
Just to tell you all that we now have a new logo! Yay! Going ahead, we’ll have some stuff where i might need the logo 😉 Plus, I really want you all to remember me when you see these colours. if you are a designer or have an eye for logo, let me know…
Jeeeeeez man. Dog tired. Scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed: Today I smell of dettol and Lizol and washing powder. The doors have been stripped down, white paint has climbed the poor, orphan shutters, the hideous lamp has been soaked and scrubbed off to let ot its beautiful glass and “Aberfeldy” logo and the…
