Another look...

Back to Apartment 408 (and I can keep coming back)…. This is what Pree has to say ….
My husband and I live in an apartment. So space is a concern but not an issue.

My home is a mix and balance of modern and traditional (Indian) living.

I collect knick knacks and have paired them with plants, books, paintings, etc.

I also cook, which is what my Blog is all about. My food is a reflection of who I am. Its fresh and colourful, and I often use decoratives from my home too.. as props!

Colour Invasion...

My love for orange… makes me feature these pictures from New Woman Aug 1997!! Yes!! I was doing some clearing today… A courtyard full of plants, pebbles and terracotta sculptures makes the entrance to Achyut Palav’s residence very picturesque. Masks from all over India adorn the bright orange walls.
The house is full of artefacts and petite handicrafts. An interesting corner with handicrafts…
Each and every corners has been utilised beautifully by placing ceramics, brassware and photographs. Simply gorgeous!!
Calligrapher Achyut Palav’s residence is colourful and full of petite handicrafts….
Don’t you just love the ethnic elements in this beautiful home? All images from the issue of New Woman Aug 1997.
