Cozy Stripes on this week’s Favourite Finds
Stripes and ginghams rule my book of prints and quite predictably- or perhaps by habit- I inevitably pick stripe and checkered patterns no matter where I am shopping.

Tiny. But full of character! Our really small laundry and drying area is almost done and I thought I’ll show you how I did it all! Because this laundry area is one of the most common features in most Indian apartments- and no shit sherlock, often with almost exact same layout & size, I thought…
Kitchen Storage: How to use baskets to your advantage in Rental Apartments
