turq sweet home...



45 inch mirror table top


Kanika of anek designs saw my old nests pictures a few days back on my FB account. She asked if she could do a post on it on her blog. And I immediately agreed! But only after loving the idea of doing the same on my blog...

So here I am... bouncing off on her idea... and posting a pictures of my old home.  I am emotionally attached to this place... and I guess I will be forever. It was this house that I moved into, when I first landed in Mumbai three and a half years back to make it my new home. 


hall


It was a mid December evening when my flight landed in Mumbai. And my very-few-days old husband dropped me here and went off to collect his bags and books from his old place. And there I was! Standing in an empty house with only tubes, fans, fittings in the bath and a thin film of dust on everything one could lay eyes on!


pee place


I scrubbed and clean every corner of the hall so that we could have a clean place to sleep that night. Over the next few months we gathered a few required things to fill it up and added the much loved accent colour to the drab walls.


the wall


By the way my husband painted this magical wall. He started one morning. Sketched. And before lunch it was morphed! He infused life in it! He is an amazing artist... See his work here.




We stayed in this house from 2007 to 2009. When we moved a lot of my friends asked, 'What did you do to the wall?' They were sincerely worried! My aesthetics have changed a lot since then. My wish list for my dream home is very different and very long too  :D


Do you have a dream home? ...or a wish list for it?

mirror mirror on the wall...


....lets see which is the prettiest of them all!



lotus leaf mirrors


These designs are made of mirror acrylic. Light... in weight and on pockets. The good part is  you don't need to drill holes for these. One can also stick them in places where drilling isn't an option.... bathroom tiles, bathroom doors, cupboards, etc, besides the usual places.

mughal motif (1) mirrors


The mughal motif ones, come in a set of six. So there is a choice of making your own patterns on the wall. The blue background for the designs is my cupboard.



mughal motif (2) mirrors



The above design is one of my favourite. Not only the formations happen great...the negative also makes a pattern!

The leaves below come in a set of 5 or 7.

Again, my partner for the pieces in this post is Vrushali. Also, we thought of something new..... we call them the 'couple coasters'. As the name says, they are coasters for two people to enjoy their drinks together! There are the usual colors we have used and there are these exciting transparent florescents.... all are below.

The florescent couple coasters were difficult to click. One, their shadow blurs the edges and two, they look good in dark (in the picture i.e). These were made for the last exhibition. And now are in stores. Cant find a proper packaging for these though! Any ideas.....?

A lot more, in mirrors, besides the above has happened since then. Will post more pictures soon. Waise I got back sooper quick this time, haan?!

Happy Pongal! Happy Lohri! Happy Uttraan!
