No more Dirty Little Secret!

Remember my post on our Dirty Little Secret where I shared with you the rot that our wood siding and trim had after only 15 years? If not, you can see it HERE.

Rot at arrow
We had our young and cute, handy dandy handyman come with his new crew and replace All the wood siding on the upper story with vinyl (Brand: Certainteed; Color: Savannah Wicker). The bottom story is brick.
He also covered

Can You Stand ANOTHER One?

If you follow my blog, you will remember that recently, I did two posts on columns that we have and you can see more on that HERE & HERE.

So can you really stand an 11th one that we own? Do I have a magnet for these pillars? I don't know, but I do know that when we recently had a huge dumpster at our house because of exterior work being done, one of the workers said that he was going to bring

Watermelon Slice Anyone?

09:55 Bigger No comments

I found a great piece to go with my famously painted Watermelon Propane Tank...

The lady that I paid $1 to for this watermelon slice said that, in 1970, a Sycamore tree was cut down and she kept this slice and painted it to look like a watermelon. Isn't it perfect in front of my propane tank?

Antiques, Painted Pieces

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Do people not have vision? Or do they just not like to do the work?

I don't know which, but I had picked up an antique oval mirror at a garage sale and basically did nothing to it, but put it in my antique mall booth.

No one wanted it after months of being displayed and a priced decline.

That told me that I needed to bring it home and give it some love! Here is the before

New Mud Room!

I am so excited to show you my

New Mud Room.

It came about quite by accident. You see, the builder added a walled in room off the original two car garage that has access via a doorway from the garage, a doorway into the house (laundry room) and a doorway to the outside. This room is about 14 feet long by 7 feet wide with very high ceilings.

Initially, we used this room as a "

I usually type directly on to my blogger template while composing a post but this post has been written on pieces of paper, crumpled, picked up, re-written, edited on Microsoft Word and finally comes to you in this final form.

In a state of mixed feelings I want to share some news with all the lovely readers of Rang Décor who have supported the blog and me to grow and evolve over the last 5 years.

We are moving to the US in the end of July this year.

Minnesota: The Land of 10,000 Lakes will be our new home.

We leave behind our home, our city, Bangalore, that we love dearly and carry with us jewel boxes filled with innumerable precious nuggets of memories of life spent here.

This move will mean a big change for me personally, my family and also for Rang Décor.

The interior ideas that I have shared on Rang Décor have been ‘predominantly Indian’ because of that which inspires me, that which surrounds me, that which I love so deeply.

India.

Everything India.

Everything about India.

Everything about my life in India.

As I move on, Rang Décor too will hopefully evolve into a space that will be a grand mix of Indian aesthetics along with global inspirations. An interesting combination of eclectic ideas curated with my design sensibilities!

Glimpses of our life, our travels & home have been posted on Rang Décor many times before. Today I share with you few more frames of the home that we have nurtured as a family with great love.
