For years, our idea of outdoor furniture revolved around plastic. Red or beige. If one was lucky, one would get a transparent table cloth and an ash tray. Back in the hills though, we had some porch/patio furniture. But unfortunately they were real wicker and one would need to get them indoors when it rained.…
Actually its very unlike me to start a blog like this innit? Haha. Really though, its me. It’s very much me. And I am still an agent of long runny sentences and long form content with 15 page digression. It’s just that this thought suddenly dawned upon me that what if someone reaches this page…
We know IKEA. We love IKEA. And that is exactly why I have to tell this to you before getting onto the list. I’ll tell you simply and in so many words. A better home makes life better. A home that’s comfortable, organized and functional, where one doesn’t have to struggle everyday with everything to…
Rough around the edges In the 1600’s, when a group of early settlers started to establish their colony in America, they found need for furniture that are functional, the raw materials for which are easily available and one that can be made quickly. The factor of time having found precedence over the rest, they started…
I know I am associated with the color white and neutrals but let me tell you I do love a bit of color. And if you look closely, you will find a lot of color in my home- just that they are intentionally kept in shades that don’t scream “see me”. Again, something I myself…
Now here’s the thing. If you ever asked me to pick between two gorgeous lace tablecloths, in the exact same color, I’d mostly pick both. Not a chance in this life that I will leave one behind. And that alone should give you a fair idea about how much I love lace as a fabric.…
Kitshcy Christmas serveware, keepsakes and finds that you will want in your life right now. Unless of course you are a grinch, in which case we really can’t help you. With practically anything. Please go on and continue to sulk. Collect your tears in a big black bowl. For the likes of us however, who…
Holiday plaid! 2 words of sheer comfort, joy and all things cozy and warm and beautiful! Seriously, if there was ever a word that encapsulated holiday feelings perfectly this would be it. There ain’t nothing better than Holiday plaid and I absolutely adore it. Good news is, we have the entire gamut of plaid buy-ables…
And if you have one design book to read, make it this! Also, if you are thinking of giving your wardrobe or home a festive refresh, turn to our country’s own bounty to do so. Each piece with its vibrant history, colorful stories and differences (you see, it’s all the magic of different hands) makes…
I have been asked time and again to do festive table decor or Diwali table decor and I always, almost habitually, go for glassware. Pair lots of clear glass with simple ceramic and vintage mismatched quarter plates and interrupt the pellucid affair with whimsical, colored, mismatched tumblers. And I have come to believe that I…
Diwali is almost here. And while I don’t do much in terms of traditional Indian decor (because we don’t have pooja or any of that in our home) I do however, truly inspired by the festival of lights, deck my home up with the many lights I have. From little twinkly fairy lights in our…
Hi. My name is Rukmini and I am an undyed linen addict. Haha. Well I can totally get away with saying that because I love undyed linen. Everything about it. It’s equal part comfy and cozy. It feels great against your skin. It seamlessly works all season with a little change in accent. The texture…
After Sushi, Festive decor is perhaps the most polarized thing ever. Some love it. Whole heartedly. They go all out with ribbons of gold, and generous helping of red and strands of beautiful marigold wrapping up their homes. On the other hand, there are the likes of me who like nothing more than the subtle…
