Welcome to our home.

Please do come in.


Console + Mirror+ Orchid = Perfect Entry


It began with a splash of aqua paint...


and then I was inspired by these gorgeous Chinese urns {purchased at Global Village here in Dubai}


Gold frames {Zara home}
White orchid pot {Ikea}
Voluspa Candle {FRENCH BOURBON VANILLE, favorite scent of the moment}


Handmade wool rug from Kashmir, India {also from Global Village}


Chinese dragon pot for a ZiZi plant {I love using Zizis because they require very little water...in case you forget about them!}



More coming tomorrow!

  3. Your entry looks so clean, fresh and inviting! Love it! Hey so I have been looking for a simple, clean, but cute modern looking entry table like what you have. Do you have any suggestions on where I can find a table like the one you have. I feel like I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find what I am looking for. I love yours. That is just what I had in mind. I love the legs on the table. suggestions?

  7. Hi...I read your blog and I think your brother is in my ward. Crazy small world! Anyway, can you tell me where you got your console and paint color you used. Thanks!

  8. The console table is from a Thai company called INDEX LIVING...and the paint color is Corner Brook by ACE HARDWARE. I'm a Benjamin Moore girl, but I can't get it here in Dubai!

  15. Just wondering how you managed to get the cushions in your living room to sit like that?

  16. the rug is beautiful.. I just need to say that Kashmir is famous for its beautiful rugs and embroideries.. but it is not in india.. it is a dissputed area where indian arm forces are.. but they want their own individuality.. and these rugs represent them...

    I hope this wont evoke any racial or regional bias.. or any other negaitve emotions.. just wanted to add the sensitivity of the topic..
