Bohemian Inspiration

Today I am drawn towards Bohemian lifestyle that is colourful, warm and eclectic. Bohemian décor is a blend of vintage furniture, fabrics, bold colours that has a contemporary twist.
 
Here are a few images from Lonny showing Bohemian inspiration

Kirukk

Are you looking for some funk and madness in your day to day products? Kirruk is the place to be that's based in Bangalore. They have products like magnets, clocks, hooks, toothpick holders, picture frames which are Indian in inspiration, coated with quirkiness, bright colours and a dash of insanity. They are also involved with design work like logos, ads, menus and packaging. I love their work  and I couldn’t stop smiling while browsing through their products.  It just brings life to our mundane routine.

Enjoy this fun brand!

And The Rain Continues.......

The rains continues in Oman….there is thunderstorm and wind …… and the temperature drops!! What a relief!!

 



And what better reason for us to enjoy the weather before the long hot summer begins…..

 
Enjoying the sound of my wind chime
 
Peek-a-boo.... a little birdie taking shelter from rain
 
 
I am enjoying the weather while it lasts…..

Rains: A Great Tuesday Morning Distraction

It’s great to be out today and enjoy the fantastic weather here in Oman. The rains always have a strange effect on everyone…some love to just snuggle back into their bed…. Some love to read or go out…. Some love to blog, listen to their favourite music and have hot chai (that’s me!)…. My garden looks fresh and joyous today and I can’t imagine anything more perfect than the fantastic view from my garden.  Hope this weather continues….

Greek Interiors: Dream home of Hotelier Costis Psychas

Hotelier Costis Psychas built his dream home on the coast of Santorini in Greece. While browsing through the pictures of his beautiful home in Elle Decor, all I could sense was tranquility. The Greek interiors were sparse but luxurious and magnificent in every way. The white interiors, rounded ceilings, low tables and other furniture and the view of the sea make this home a peaceful retreat. This is a home I would like to get away for the weekend.

Enjoy the interiors of this home and it’s definitely a feast for our eyes!!

Stylish Staircase

I instantly fell in love with these two stylish staircase featured in HouseBeautiful. The first one is an open staircase incorporated as a bookshelf which is practical and has a lot of storage. And the second one is a vintage spiral staircase which looks dramatic. Which one is your favourite or do you like both?
