Diwali Decor and Season Greetings

So happy to be featured in http://housedelic.com/corners-home-deepa/ for Diwali Decor.


Diwali is a festival that makes me really happy. Whats not to love about the cleaning of spaces, the decoration, the diyas, the diwali sweets and savouries , new clothes and firecrackers and friends and relatives!

I love creating little decor spaces around the house , utilising utensils, lamps, decor items, fresh flowers. Its just a beautiful time of the year! bring out the ethnic decorative linen/cushion covers, Mats

Attend local exhibitions and support your local artisans, small time entrepreneurs, Housewives with small businesses and buy your diwali decor from them

Happy Deepavali to all our friends and loved ones. May each year be better than the previous. Best wishes for prosperity, health and all that's good in life.

Reuse Recycle Decor - Saree Saga

So what do you do when you use and old saree for Curtains? You can use the blouse piece if you have to make a cushion cover or even a neat bolster cover. Ask your local furnishings tailor for a nominal fee, if you dont have or are not adept with the sewing machine(I am not)

Old bottles can be cut at the bottom, and painted to create beautiful wind chimes. What a lovely reason to drink and be merry!

Painted rocks can be used for a variety of purposes from decorative items on a desk, to planter markers, near a prayer altar, or photo holders

Refurbished Bench

Bought a second hand bench from an old furniture shop. Sand papered it. And then a fresh coat of paint. Waiting for the paint to dry so that I can place my cacti and succulents on them
