My Design Fantasies

Beautiful designs have always been a bit of passion for me. Be it outside, inside, furniture, photographs, pottery,linen, pots & pans---Oh well!.. the list is LOng. I may be broke, yet I manage to save enough money to buy monthly issues of design magazines. Inside outside or society interiors when I am in India and here in the US, I replace them with Elle decor ( my favorite) UK and US edition, the UK edition being a particular favorite. I guess I love the European minimalistic sensibilities when it comes to design, especially home decor. Not exactly the scandinavian black & white with a touch of wood and steel. My preference would be more of that with some splashes of color ,a.k.a anything Indian, ethnic and exotic.

ANYhows..do not be under the false impression that my house looks anything like what I described. Living on a student stipend does not allow me the luxury of living out all my design fantasies. So I do the next best thing. Buy magazines, drool at other people's homes and lead a sad, voyeuristic existence. Alright it is not as pathetic a life as I am making it out to be. I try and make my little space in the world as pretty and aesthetically appealing to me as possible. After all its about what best you can do with what you have. Right?

Timepass: @ my backyard, tea in my favorite coffee mug ( yea I know), my favorite magazine, with Ganpati inherited from the previous tenants.
