Bringing our popular series #MoodBoardsYouCanUse from the gram to the blog because firstly, I have been depriving the 4950 subscribers of all the real time, good content, who may or may not be on instagram. And secondly, I think I like this place over the gram, any given day. You see, I am a writer.…
And one that brings all the nuances of the great outdoors, in so you and I can experience that beautiful thing called Summer Hygge or Sommarhygge! Oh, and if you thought hygge is hot chocolate cupped in a knitted-mitten clad hands and soft crackle of the fireplace, it’s that and more. It’s really that feeling…
Well, this happened! Our TV wall instantly changed from a sordid media square to a pretty little nook slathered in farmhouse goodness. And can I tell you that I absolutely love it! Now you may think this decision was based purely out of my love for vintage things- and you’ll be right to some extent-…
So, who exactly told us that fireplace and flannel is hygge and not air-conditioner and mango icecream? That’s right. NOBODY! And guess what? You can very well keep that hygge alive, even when it’s 40 degrees outside. Question is, are you ready for some summer hygge? I always associate cozy with winter. And while at…
A spring summer tablescape has to be two things. One, it must be breezy, graceful, bring the outdoors in and fill you with a sense of freedom that one gets when one steps out in the spring sun after a long, cold winter. Two, it must be simple enough for the host to put together…
Summer hath struck the subcontinent or at least the western part of it and we are feelin’ it! So clearly, hot chocolate station and lumberjack checks are out, easy- breezy, cotton, undyed linen and beachy baskets are in! And although wicker baskets are practically all season and can very well look the part with a…
You know, I was born with country cottage in my veins. I have loved the simple, mellow pleasures of a charming cottage for as long as I can remember and in the compartments of my brain there is a shining photograph of one of my walls full of vintage China. White wicker, bunch of flowers,…
Glass and summer are made for each other and nothing compares to the soft glint of glass under a canopy of tress with a balmy sun peeking through; or under a blanket of fairy lights & the night sky! It’s almost divine how glass look against light and this is one thing I bank on,…
How to paint over dark walls without primer. That is the very topic of this blog but I assure you I will get in digressions and epiphanic episodes in this blog post just to mess with people who likes to “get to the point”. If you don’t like it, you are in trouble! Haha, this…
If there is one thing you should turn to this year when it comes to your home, it’s linen napkins. Why? Because they can be all of this, at the same time- a serviette, a face towel, a hand towel and your beloved prop. They also absorb better, wash better, looks oh-so-farmhouse-ey and you save…
Christmas is over and NYE will be done and dusted in a matter of days; its another long stretch of a year ahead, the offices and zoom calls will get a lot more intense with no public holidays to look forward to in a very long time and wait, that shitty virus has now new…
December 26th has always been that lousy day for me. As if recovering from a high that lasted well over 2 months, with a sudden low that feels pretty intense, just that in the opposite spectrum. So other than wallowing – the bad kind- in sadness; in the fading glow of the imaginary sleigh, I…
An Anatomy of a good chair and how to choose one. You’d think its trivial. I mean it’s a chair for Chrissake and we mostly just buy chairs we visually like right? But let me tell you, there is more to this than meets the eye. You may also not feel the difference immediately but…
