Design Bloggers enthrall

I'm always in wonderment about how some international blogs look and what some bloggers are able to do on their pages. So it was just the most perfect blessing when House Beautiful - http://www.housebeautiful.com featured top ten design blogs chosen by a host of design bloggers and contributors on design. Do check them out and relish some of the most beautifully curated blogs :

My personal favorite is this blog http://www.herriottgrace.com/blog by Herriot Grace, a venture of a father and daughter and as quintessentially put : A Savings Account for Things I Like - kind of like how I would describe my blog if I had those words! :)

Inspiration : Stunning glass sculpture

Who said you can't go ballistic in creating an office! Yes this is a private office designed by Oregon based Jessica Helgerson's design firm here at  http://www.jhinteriordesign.com/gothic-office. Stunning use of glass to create a visual partition to apparently create a 'feeling of separation' in a vast office space.

I am also stunned by the contrast with the untreated brick walls - simply theatrical impact!

Happy in 2013, a New Year

Hello there friends,

As always the first few days of this spanking new year are a whirr till I had to write down the date while filling up a certain form and wham! I realized I 'd forgotten to do one of the things that I'd always planned to do - post a New Year wish or just something that says that wishing everyone a fulfilling year has always been on my mind :)

2013, this is and should be a unique year in our lives as we get formal possession of our own Home sometime soon, than later in the year. Yes a big step for us wanderers who till now had reveled in escaping being tied-down to a piece of immovable acquisition! And so a lot of anticipation, castles in the mind and ideas swirling around creating fleeting images of how a nook, a wall would look and where to incorporate a certain something that both of us have always wanted, and zillion other visual ideas, vivid or otherwise!

So here begins a series of visuals that catch my fancy in the romantic hope of finding expression in some manner, even in a hint, in our Home and Yes the images will be in no particular order, sometimes reproduced for just the mood it evokes - enjoy !!



Oh the colors in this frame, how I hope to have some elegant pastels in some corners

Desperately looking for bookshelf ideas to house all the books that belong to the acquisitive us
