Come Fly With Me To "The Farm" Jaipur

Hello there My Come With Me Series for this week takes us to my favorite state in India....Rajasthan! I lived in Jaipur and other parts of Rajasthan for many many years. I miss Rajasthan a lot and try and make a trip there whenever I can.

The Farm is an inventive and artistic little boutique hotel on the outskirts of Jaipur. The Farm is largely constructed from spare parts and salvaged furniture from the owners old palace. The hotel opened in 2009. In this hotel, the treasured cultural heritage of its young Rajput owners meets reinvention, originality and flair. The Farm is also a creative space that showcases the work of many artists both known and unknown. 

While the property offers all the luxuries you need, reuse,recycle and re-purpose is the mantra of the hotel. All the 6 rooms in the hotel have a unique personality of their own. I am intrigued by this eclectic and artistic hotel. To know more about "The Farm" click here.

Some Thoughts On Summer Decor

As summer makes its way towards me, I have the desire to redecorate and de-clutter. In winter, I tend to display more things around my home and in summer I feel the urge to clear them out. Does that sound crazy to you:) I like to update my home for the season. Each space in my home has some permanent elements and some that are temporary.  For this reason I am very partial to a neutral palette for my furniture and my walls.  I only need to change the pillows, add some fresh seasonal flowers and a few accessories to give the room a new look!

For Winter and Fall I like everything warm and cozy with a lot of layers. For Spring and Summer I like  to remove the extra rugs on the floor, reduce the accessories and try and make the space look more breezy and open! I strive towards making "my dream canvas" clean, refreshing, light and tranquil. I am trying to attack the clutter in my home. It is taxing work but rewarding. While I am trying to clean the home on the surface, I am also attacking my closets, shelves and drawers :)  I shall be relieved when I make some progress. I shall keep you updated as I work towards giving the rooms in my home a new look. I will try and share the before and after pictures once I am done!

Changing your decor for the season gives you an opportunity to bring out some long-lost pieces and make them the center of attention for a while. I like the thought of that :)  I have brought out my aqua candle stands this weekend to welcome the new season.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Please feel free to leave a comment or inbox me your suggestions.  We can all learn so much from each other......... so lets get this discussion going!
