Summer Or Winter?

I love it when I wake up to sunlight streaming through my home:) Its strange how as a kid I always loved winters. Winters in Delhi was a season to celebrate :) Now here I am pining for the summer :) Seattle comes alive in the summer and I am counting the days!! 

So what is your favorite season of the year and why do you love it?

I am popping in to say a quick hello as I get ready to tackle a super busy day!

The Living Room Of Bri Emery

I recently stumbled upon the images of Bri Emery's living room on Pinterest. Bri Emery is an art director and the Los Angeles-based founder and editor of a lifestyle blog called DesignLoveFest. Her blog is a treat and I enjoyed going through it. Bri's impressive portfolio includes  publications such as Elle Décor, Apartment Therapy, HGTV, Lucky Magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings, The Los Angeles times and more. Bri's living room has been designed by her friend Emily Henderson. Emily also happens to be an HGTV host, designer, stylist and blogger!

I am drawn to the mix of colors used in this space, the mid century furniture pieces and those gorgeous plants!! The light flowing into the room makes everything look so refreshing!!

Do visit her blog for more images of the living room makeover. It is certainly inspirational!

Tealight Holders As Pots For Plants

I had a super busy weekend as the spring cleaning in my home is in full spring! There were of course the usual errands. I had to also work on a book report for my son's school project.........so there was very little down time. I did manage to sneak a few moments of solitude which was perfect. I moved the couch away from the window to let some more light in. I now have a wooden bench placed there instead. I picked up a very interesting coffee table book on Antiques from the local library sale for a dollar. The pages are filled with stunning images and in depth information of the types of antiques that are found in different parts of the world. Fascinating to say the least!!

Did you notice the little plant by the window ? I bought a few of them from the nursery. I did not like the container they came in so I transported it into this glass container. This is really a large tea light holder but I thought it would make a pretty pot for my plant :) What do you think?? I re-plotted a few more plants the same way. I shall share the pictures soon.

Here's wishing you a wonderful new week ahead!

An update : Here is a picture of the houseplants re-potted into my old but large tea light holders. I remembered to take some pictures this morning :)
