My Haven:-) ( a home tour like none other)

What is the one place that is your true haven? The place you feel safe, secure, spoilt and pampered. For me, its my parents home:-) Growing up as an army brat, my homes ranged from rambling mansions to tiny one room apartments. Each place so different, and yet so similar. It always had mommy's touch:-) Today, they are retired and settled in an apartment in the suburbs of Delhi. My mom is a huge fan of beige, brown and cream. Not sure if she really knows that:-) Yet, its definitely her trademark and the predominant color palette at home. She likes her home to be clutter free, with clean lines. She is not a shopaholic like me:-) Most of the knick-knacks around the home are family heirlooms. I have to say, that recently she got a bit bold and has painted two of her bedrooms - a lovely terracotta and a gorgeous sea green. Unfortunately, I do not have those pictures to share today.

These are a few images from my parents home. I took them while I was in India recently. A lot of the stuff was removed because of my destructive two year old:-) I love this home. Whenever I think of it, it gives me a warm feeling!!! I do hope you have enjoyed a visit to my haven:-)
