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…
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.…
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…
Peak summer in. Cool and calm solids out. Period! And contrary to what people say- that grey being a winter colour and all that- I think Grey is through and through a summer colour and I love the calm, coziness and poise it brings to a space. Read any colour therapy book and they dreadfully…
I am obsessed with dogwood flowers. I have been obsessed with dogwood flowers for a long time now. I was silently obsessing over them when the world was obsessing over matte lipstick. I craved for them when the world craved dalgona coffee- which was utter shit if you ask me. And if there was a…
Christmas decoration! Happiest topic to talk about y’all! Just the very mention of the word makes my heart go all fuzzy! Wonder where I caught the Christmas fever from though. I blame the air. Like flu, magic is in the air too! Welcome ladies and gents to another rubble-a-bubba-dub-dub. Also wonder how you all stuck…
If there is one piece of home appliance that does the horse’s share of work in summertime- or all round the year for us Mumbai folks- it’s the ceiling fan. It’s just about essential to us as our first cup of garam masala chai and good thing is, when chosen right, it can rightly define…
All we need right now is a bit of sunshine and the will to hang on to, for sunny days and I thought it’ll be wonderful to introduce you to Sunshine Boulevard whose handcrafted lighting, home furniture and decor accents make it the happiest store on the block. And I have to tell you, if…
Hello, hello ladies! And gentlemen! Well, just came in to say hi, check up on you and tell you that I have a feeling things will be alright, very soon. We are all in this together (My god, when was the last time the whole world united for one common cause?) and we have done…
Have you seen Anne with an E? On Netflix? Originally a novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables) I think no matter what the reviews are (some say its a gothic over play and all that jazz) I think the series itself is brilliant. Because if you are remotely interested in farmhouse style…
Mumbai Rains are here! It started with a bang this morning and if you’re a Mumbaikar, you know when it’s here to stay! Every monsoon, I do a set of things that lets me experience the best of the season and what started as a cluster of feel-good activity has now become a ritual. This…
Yesterday was World Ocean Day and what a fitting occasion to talk about Musselbloma- IKEA’s new fabric and upholstery collection that’ll hit stores in Italy & Spain. Cute as a button with bobbing fish heads all over and spots of color, at the onset you’d wonder how extremely adorable it is. But look deeper and…
Game of Thrones. Like oh my GOT. Its the season finale and the internet is swarming with reactions and spoilers (of which I don’t care at all) and rightly so. What a show! Gripping, adrenaline inducing, and with that rare quality where you yearn to see what happens next. Game of Thrones has to be…
