Where I Blog!

My family room is casual, cosy and fun.....at least, that is how I want it to be :-) This is pretty much where we spend our life when we are home! I like the informality of this space. Off late, I have noticed that I prefer to sit on the couch in this room and blog.  From the couch, I have a view of my backyard.  The large windows give me a peak into the outside world. I get a view of the endless rain which is the norm here.......  or  the rare and lovely sight of the sun streaming through !

The pictures that hang on the wall are significant to me.  The bright and colorful truck print reminds me of India. The pictures of our travels and the prints from local art fairs remind me of glorious vacations and fun times.

An English Cottage

This delightful cottage has been sitting in my inspiration folder for a while. Today, seemed to be the perfect day to share it with you :-) The dull and grey weather around me seems to fade away as I step into this shabby chic........ bright and beautiful home.

Located in the Derbyshire countryside, the property was built approximately 200 years ago. It had been rented out as a gamekeeper’s cottage for a long while and had been neglected for many years. The dark and damp cottage was given a face lift and every corner of it has been restored beautifully by the family who lives here!


This lovely house makes me smile :-)
