Finding good furniture is like finding Nemo. And in my stint as a home decor enthusiast and later a designer, I have learnt this the hard way! Unless you get furniture made, it’s all a bit of a compromise. But that was circa 2009- 2010. A fine time where one could spot me with a…
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…
After Sushi, Festive decor is perhaps the most polarized thing ever. Some love it. Whole heartedly. They go all out with ribbons of gold, and generous helping of red and strands of beautiful marigold wrapping up their homes. On the other hand, there are the likes of me who like nothing more than the subtle…
A DIY knitted wreath which is equal parts chunky and cozy + a list of our favorite fall coffees. We are discussing these two things on our blog today and if I know you well, I know you will rather be no where else but here! So, yes, welcome to my neck of woods which…
I love pedestals. They are great to style plants, seasonal decor, fruits and also works wonderfully as a storage stand for your bedside table. But unfortunately, in India, we do not get enough pedestals and even if we do, it burns a small hole in the pocket. Truth is, however, pedestals are very easy to…
At this time of the year I always seem to disappoint a few. My intentions are never to do so however, the fact that we don’t have The New-England ish fall here in Mumbai, and I celebrate it through home decor even so, gets to those chosen few. I have been called pretentious (Never use…
Fall decorating! What a happy little word isn’t it? But for the longest time I was asked if I was right to celebrate “fall” because India – or most of it- don’t experience it. Now, let me tell you I will be absolutely right to celebrate this change of season even in India. However, I…
Now this, is my kinda fall decor. Slathered in neutral, made cozy with texture and with just the right nudge of ochre and burnt sienna to bottle the nuances of fall- this is what warms the cockles of my heart! Hello and welcome- (guilty of literally vanishing from this space (yeah, yeah, very dejavou-ish))- to…
Brass is making a comeback. And I am in agreement to this trend, 100%! Brass makes everything cozy, everything stylish and if done right it can elevate simple elements in your home to make it look far more expensive that they actually are! Got a simple kitchen? Fit a brass tap. Hang a few antique…
Hello from me and my gorgeous urn planter! Welcome to Episode 1 of Make It Monday- an episode 2 may or may not be up and running next Monday because hey, a girl can only do so much! Haha. But I promise I will try and rope in simple DIYs every monday so you find…
Rough night last night. May have eaten something funky and may have visited the good old loo for more times than required but I will spare you those details. Actually, let me just go back to the first sentence. Rough night last night! And I thought a bowl of cornflakes will be good. Probably 2:30…
So, let me tell you a story I swear I just wanted to come here and show you all our favourite green soft furnishings that you can buy right here in India. But I have to digress. And it’s a happy digression. Now, my whole point in stressing on the word India is the fact…
Green! Of jealousy and wage; of parsley and sage, of spring and leprechaun. Of four leaf clover, of an old book cover, green of grey days please be gone! I don’t think there is any other color that finds so much expression as that of green and believe it or not, green is one of…
