Sundays are for acceptances. That bone-tired is a Sundays are for acceptances. That bone-tired is a legit term and it comes with age. That age is a real thing and laze is a real thing and staring at a wall is also a very real thing. Insaan aaj thak gaya hain. Aaj kuch nahi hoga.

A little before and after of the chandelier I scor A little before and after of the chandelier I scored! And this is death by patina! Wanted a vintage farmhouse look for this and I'd say I've been very successful. Used @anniesloanhome French Linen and then dark, soft wax on top.
The greatest critic said that this is one of my finest DIY so it must be true!

#moodboardsyoucanuse vintage farmhouse! Beautiful #moodboardsyoucanuse vintage farmhouse! Beautiful vein-y Carrara natural marbles become the perfect canvas to paint your romantic, vintage farmhouse dreams: add unvarnished, light toned wood, lots of creamy white with bits of grey and faint blush & beige.
To decorate, add vintage tools, old books and photographs.
.
I have added two more photos to show you how the mood is! Carrara natural Marbles at @classicmarblecompany are available in five distinct finishes- polish, honed, lethar, distress and silken- each with their own beauty! I'll be doing an igtv on the same, so wait up! 
.
This post is brought to you in collaboration with @classicmarblecompany who is extremely kind to give in to our whimsies of showing how we can choose flooring and walls for our own homes minus any help.

#TruTrendThursdays This Spring summer, our homes w #TruTrendThursdays This Spring summer, our homes would borrow a smidge from the runway- modern vintage florals are in and will continue to be so in 2021. However, contrary to big blooms which is fashions new muse; for homes it'll be an understated version of it with small, delicate florals in vintage reds and blues and in cotton and linen. We are falling back on nostalgic corners and crannies this year- perhaps to be reminded of times when we were protected by our naiveté.
.
This also falls under a style called grandmillenial style and you all should totally check it out as to why we are falling for a style inspired by our grandmother's home.

A good blue and white bedding is all season, is a A good blue and white bedding is all season, is a great investment and you must read below to know why, as I step into summer with delight with this gorgeous bedspread from @7petalshome 
.
I have used bedding from Shalini's beautiful boutique brand before and take my words they are absolutely divine. Wash after wash. And I do think that this summer, this is an investment you'd like to make. Why? Because it looks good? And washes well? 
.
Well that and the fact that it practically goes with all kind of style. 
.
Add some brass and pink and you have a farmhouse Chic home right there. Add jute and wicker and you switch straight to the beach cottage of your dreams. Then ofcourse, you can use mustard and blush with it for a very modern decor. For festive times, add some full gold, for Christmas add deep emerald red and navy and for autumn- some rust! A blue and white bedsheet is actually all seasons! 
.
And most importantly, in this case, you'll know the person who is propelling the brand and there is no greater joy than buying from a brand where you know the face. No?

But no more light. No more. I found the colour.
Very excited to see how it all turns out. It's been years I have DIYd a fixture myself and I'm really kicked about it.
Also very kicked about life in general. For no particular reason.

Firstly, I hope you all enjoy this video! It's rather long but you can always skip to the part you need to see! As a photo enthusiast and a professional interior and product photographer I always need props and what better way to get the best props than making it yourself. 
Secondly here are a few things you need to make Jack-O'-Lanterns with air drying clay
Air Drying Clay 1 package. I used Monte Marte and its the best. Available on Amazon.
Cling wrap
A plastic ball or crumpled aluminium foil
A sharp exacto knife
A flat, clean surface (I use a marble slab) to work on
Lots of patience. 
The rest is in the video. 

After 3 days, you can also colour it with a colour of your choice or keep as is, as I have! 

For more updates on what we do, our store and for ideas, you can follow us on www.instagram.com/trumatter

Update: use crumpled aluminium foil as opposed to plastic ball. Dries faster. No cracks. 

Mini pumpkins and gourds look beautiful as autumn decor but unfortunately in our climate (Mumbai) they don't stand a chance outside the fridge. There are faux ones available but they come with a hefty shipping. So we decided to make them. And can I say that they look absolutely kawai! 
Here's the step by step tutorial of DIY mini pumpkins and I assure you you'll love it!
