Today we picked up some simple earthern diyas ( lamps) and laced the edges with long forgotten roll of sequins:-)If you have some lace, sequins or beaded strips lying around, you know what to do with them.
Last year I shared many Diwali decorating ideas from my home. Will try and post some more ideas before Diwali, but meanwhile here's a quick recap of what we had last year!

If you'd like to check out the posts, here they are~
Many of you might be familiar with Viya Home, an unique interiors store with an eclectic range of furnitures, sculptures and accessories for your home.
A place where inspiration has been drawn from historic architecture and styles and given a contemporary touch.
Accessories in brass and metal to add beauty and luxury to your home.
Viya Home works very closely with 'master-craftsmen all over India in re-interpreting traditional skills and designs'
Viya Home draws inspiration from Mughal architecture, traditional South Indian as well as various Indian styles but with a modern touch.
Their accessories include contemporary hand-beaten metal planters, urns, washbasins, stone vases and bowls.
Apart from these luxurious 'Indo Western' products, Viya Home also works with architects and designers at various stages of customizing, conceptualizing and sourcing.
This country retreat designed by Pinakin Patel Associates looks so beautiful, serene and relaxing I want to spend a lovely weekend there...actually many weekends there:-)










Pinakin Patel graduated in Chemistry but today heads one of India's leading design firms and owns a unique lifestyle store.
Two posts in a day, I must be certainly very inspired!
It was very exciting to receive an email from Chitra Gopalakrishnan, informing me about a new venture. A venture with a social cause of giving a boost to the Kerala handloom industry.

Do check out their online store here.
There is this small shelf in my kitchen which inspires me to try out various arrangements. The little blackboard definitely helps me convey a message:-) It doesn't require any great skills but has me smiling all day. 




Do you also have such a corner, a shelf, a table or a windowsill in your home that inspires you to try new creative arrangements?
