Hello, hello! How goes it? ‘Shubho Mahalaya’ to all of you reading me here and a bit of fall decor and drapes made from an old saree (yup, that’s right) is what we are going to be talking in here this evening! It’s actually 10:48 at night and I am sipping my chamomile and blogging:…
How To Make A Shabby Chic Wicker Basket Planter
Goodmorning and a good day. How have you been holding up? If you are into gardening and live in a small apartment- which means if you are interested in shabby chic apartment gardening- there is a how-to-make-a-basket-planter in the house: It’s all old wicker baskets and some beach white love and some roses planted for…
Before And After, Turn old crates to chic book carts
Goodmorning Sunshine and honey and sugarstars and beachcombers. Very excited I am this morning to share this DIY Book Cart or Book Trolley as I would like to call it, and its made from an unwanted, weeping, curb side fruit-crate which once brought goodness and mangoes to someone I don’t know. That man just loved them…
The Tata Zest Blogger’s Meet Experience, Goa
This is not something I do, really. A blogger’s meet. I mean wow, I would love to meet the top 50 bloggers from across India, and oh, yours truly is one of them now they say, but going to Goa and meet new people? No way. After a lot of ‘oh-its-a-car-event’ and ‘im-not-so-comfortable-with-novelties’, I did…
Repurposed Crate Shelf DIY
Welcome to Trumatter. If you love picking up old crates- discarded crates, no-one-wants-me crying crates from the curb and shamelessly too- and re-purpose them into usable home furniture, you have, sir, come to the right place for some that kinda diy dope. While the husband and friend went to mud-bike in the rains, the girl…
DIY Rustic Wine Bottle Cluster Chandelier
Morning guys! I hope its going good at yours? I feel like I’ve eaten a piece of bad elk and the infection has reached my soul. Life has not been so good lately. You know those times when you feel like you have made a huge mistake in disturbing the way things were and then…
Two Wick Tin Candle DIY
Whats up and what’s going on with you. Unbelievable that Brazil would lose to Germany and with such a margin. I did not watch the match: I lost all interest in world cup since Spain went home. But I saw the outrage in socialmedia today: don’t even go near Brazil fans, and that includes my…
DIY Vintage French Cafe Table
It’s all about a table and dreaming from under the table. A DIY vintage French-love-dowsed beachy little table that I am much lovin’ this morning as refuge: a cup of tea, a book, some wine later in the day and I’d be wanting nothing…Maybe I will, but I’ll restrict myself till I can go out…
Before And After: A Cheery Summer Kitchen
So, how’s it goin with you. I’ve been doing a bit of kitchen foofing lately and with about 8$ investment I think I did a good job. Used up some printed labels, threw stuff here and there, some old recipes found recognition in the wall of fame and kept it open and organized. The perfect…
DIY: Beach House Shell Lights To Get Your Weekend Started
Happy Friday to you. Now that I am feeling a lot more ‘in my elements’ than I was a couple of days before- no runny nose or any of that stupid flu and fluids- I can use a bit of girly cheer in my little wannabe beach house. Did I just say girly cheer? Smack that,…
DIY Repurposed Mirror To The Little French Key Hanger
Tu peux venir quand tu veux! You can come whenever you want. Such a lovely thing to say; to put up on your walls. I had been smitten with this line since the time my sister passed me this canvas tote which she bought in France. I don’t know why, among the million things I…
Baking Artisan Bread At Home from Scratch
Wuddup! What’s going on at yours and hows the almost midweek treating you. As for me, I think it’s treating me quite nice. I’ve taken ‘work from home’ for a couple of days and got to try my hands on baking some artisan bread at home: I have to tell you that it popped out…

But since this old blog is…
