Just too good not to share...

Love this latest spin on the ubiquitous 'Keep Calm...' poster....HILARIOUS !!

Sneak peek- Meyha's room..

Here's a tiny little peek into my daughter's room that I'm giving final touches to..It is pretty much done now, barring a few tweaks..but some bits will have to wait a little longer..I should be able to share most of it with you next week!!

Should be easy to choose...but is it?

Since I'm the one asking the question, propriety demands that I share my answer with you first. Truth be told..the moment we are given such an opportunity the mind gets flooded with kaleidoscopic visions of all our dreams and desires..so much so that it is nearly impossible to pick just one thing...But let's just give it a shot...

No scaling the Everest for me...I'll keep it simple and current..."I would open a beautiful lifestyle store of my own".

What about you...what is it that you would attempt..Let's just keep 'world domination'..or.. 'world peace' out of the purview of this exercise...a little more realistic and a bit more personal is what we are looking for here...

So who's next?

Why don't you...

Take some time out to enjoy the nature around you..nothing is ever more beautiful and the best part is.. it doesn't discriminate..for it is free for everyone! Have a beautiful weekend!!

One man's adventure is another (wo)man's agony...

The man here is..my husband..the woman..is ofcourse me..and the adventure- his two-week trek and rafting trip through the Grand Canyon while I stay home with the kids..Now the agony bit is not so difficult to figure out...is it? I am not even talking about the the few extra days he'll spend in Vegas.

Starting tomorrow ( for him ).. there will a be a little bit of this....

..followed by a whole lot of this....

....while I'm left tending to my flock all by myself .. for a good three weeks...and no.. I won't be cooling off with my cubs in the snow...as outside it is just hot  ... and getting hotter with every passing day... a fool-proof mood-spoiler for me since time immemorial...

 This is one adventure I really wanted to be a part of , but with little kids it is not always your choice to make ...To smoothe my ruffled feathers I've been promised an adventure holiday rafting the Zambezi in Africa sometime next year..if I so desire  (you see I'm easy to please that way)..So I have a full year to hone my non-existent rafting skills or else pick another destination !! Has anyone done either of these trips..would love to know how it went!

What we chose...

Today we  ordered two of these lovelies for our dining room!!! Though they will take 5-6 weeks to arrive ( from Germany)..I'm already dreaming about sitting at the head of the table..as we host dinner parties for our friends!!

Panton chair

Verner Panton's 1960's classic has been on my radar for quite some time now.I love its sculptural quality and amazing versatility. I've seen it working in practically every room and with varied interiors..be it modern, contemporary or eclectic. Here are some of my favourite dining rooms featuring this modern day classic in white ...since that's the color we have chosen:

I would have loved it if all eight could be Pantons but breaking the bank to furnish a room is not the wisest thing to do..well..not just yet! Hence begins the quest for choosing the remaining SIX!!! It's going to be a whole lot of fun..stay tuned!

Runway to room...



From the covers of fashion glossies to red carpets, the celebrity- endorsed Color-Block look from Gucci ( spring- summer '11) is hard to ignore and even harder to emulate in a room..what with its profusion of bold jewel tones...but if only you look a little eastward for inspiration...you might just hit....
