Lonny: My picks from the fall issue!!!

This is turning into another picture -heavy post..please let me know if this is too much!

Still lovin' colorful collections.

Coral accents + a neat idea to tie back those curtains. I find tasseled curtain ties so fussy and stuffy--this avtar, I could live with (I'm still not sold on the huge florals tho').

Mirrored drumstools? how glam!--not necessarily for my own space but what a nice way to add oomph to your pad!

 

Houndstooth!! don't know what it is about this stool, but the image is captivating! Very do-able (got any old skirts/jackets lying around? re-covering a stool top is a snap!...hmmm, loving this idea (you may see it implemented on my blog....)

 

Such a bold room. May be OTT but am in love with the cushion front and center!

And, an element that always catches my eye...

Sunflowers!!!!

 

why? because I love them so..........

My living room. On a happy sunday not too long ago!

All images except the last one: Lonny Mag.

Last image: mine.

Have you read the latest issue of Lonny yet? What did you like (I know. the cover is stunning, isn't it?). Will you be experimenting with any of the ideas? which ones...let me know!!

Inspiration gallery: mirrorwork walls

I am in total awe of the wonderful lippan kam, or mirrorworked walls of Kutch. I love how the artisans transform simple materials- mud and small mirrors into such gorgeous works of art. My fascination began with an article in an old issue of InsideOutside (India). Later, I saw it cropping up everywhere- I have very vivid memories of one of the outer walls of Cottage Emporium (at Jawahar Bhavan, Janpath, New Delhi), which was gloriously decorated in these tiny shimmering mirrors....heaven!

Lately, I have been planning a small DIY project for my bedroom wall and have been been collecting many pages of inspiration from the web. I would like to share some with you.....

Some wonderful details from Sheesh Mahal. Taken from here.

I'm certainly not the first blogger to have covered the topic. See an excellent writeup here, here and another one here. Some images that caught my eye from Vineeta's post:
